Getting Invisalign

          Getting Invisalign is now as easy as it is fast. Invisalign is the way of the future for straightening your teeth. This relatively new treatment uses revolutionary advances in the field of dentistry to eliminate the need for traditional metal braces when straightening teeth. Invisalign braces are so revolutionary because it does its job while being completely removable and invisible. There advantages give way to a host of other advantages over the use of traditional braces.

          Getting Invisalign begins with a trip to your dentist who will take impressions of your mouth. This will allow your dentist to create a 3D model and fully examine your mouth, then create a plan especially for you. He will send the model off to the Align processing plan were the company will then create a computer based model of your mouth, then create a series of removable aligners. You will wear each aligner tray for about 2 weeks or as your dentist recommends. Each time you replace an aligner tray with a new one it will further correct your teeth. On average it will take about 9 months to completely fix a patients teeth, this is much less than with braces.

          Getting Invisalign provides you with a number of key advantages over conventional braces. Invisalign trays will not irritate your gums they way metal braces will. The custom made aligning trays are invisible, so you will not feel self conscious while wearing them. This is a major advantage for older teens and adults, who want to avoid the embarrassment of metal brackets showing when they are smiling. The trays are also removable, so you can brush and floss your teeth like normal. This is a major drawback of conventional braces, flossing becomes extremely difficult, plaque builds up and periodontal disease can set in. Many patients who get braces end up changing their lifestyle while they have them and Invisalign lets a person go about their life without anyone noticing their wearing braces!
