Invisalign consists of clear, custom-made aligners that fit snug over your teeth and are replaced typically every week. Each aligner slowly guides your teeth into place following a personalized treatment plan mapped out by your dentist. Then, around a mere year’s time, the process is complete and you are left with a beautifully straight smile.
While the benefits of Invisalign are never-ending, some of their most noteworthy advantages include:
- Treats simple to complex cases
- Predictable, controlled tooth movements
- Virtually invisible
- Removable aligners so you can enjoy all the activities and foods you love
- Ability to brush and floss easily
- No injuries from broken wires or brackets
- Fewer visits to the dentist’s office
- And more!
You may be the ideal candidate for Invisalign if you suffer from:
- Gapped teeth
- Overbite
- Underbite
- Open bite
- Teeth crowding
- Crossbite
How do I get started with Invisalign?
Dr. Suarez starts by taking a highly accurate impression of your mouth with state-of-the-art digital imaging technology. He sends that impression to an Invisalign lab, where a technician uses it to create a virtual model of your smile. They manipulate that model to map out all of the movements that your teeth need to take in order to reach proper alignment.
The Invisalign lab then uses that map as the blueprint for your aligners. They design each set of your aligners to match a different step that your teeth need to take on the journey toward their final position in your mouth. When worn in order, your aligners gradually push your teeth along that pathway and into perfect alignment.
You wear your aligners every day for at least 22 hours. Every two weeks, you move on to the next aligner in your series, and you check in with Dr. Suarez every 4-6 weeks to monitor your progress.
The amount of time it takes to finish your series varies from person to person, but most people only need 20-30 aligners to move their teeth into their final position.
