Who Is a Good Candidate for Invisalign Aligners?
The alignment of your teeth and your bite are determined by many factors, such as genetics, thumb-sucking as a child, traumatic injuries to the face, and tooth loss. Tooth misalignment can lead to other oral health problems, like dental malocclusion (a poor bite), abnormal enamel wear, difficulty chewing and speaking, jaw pain, and toothaches. If your MINT dentist detects signs or symptoms of any of these issues during your dental exam, we may recommend Invisalign aligners.
Clear Invisalign aligners can be great for teens and adults in College Park, GA who want to achieve straighter teeth without the hassle and appearance of traditional orthodontics. While Invisalign trays do need to be worn at least 20 hours a day, they can be removed before eating and drinking, to brush your teeth, and for special events, such as playing sports. Since they are far more discreet than metal braces, other people may not be able to tell you are wearing Invisalign trays.
How Does Invisalign Work?
Once our Invisalign dentist has created your treatment plan, your first set of trays will be made using digital impressions taken of your mouth. A couple of weeks later, you will return to receive your first pair of aligners and instructions from our team. It is important that you wear your aligners for at least 20 – 22 hours each day for the system to work with the goal of taking them out only to eat and before brushing your teeth. Over time, you will move on to the next set of trays so they can continue to shift your bite closer to proper alignment. You will need to visit our practice every 4 – 6 weeks so our Invisalign provider can track your tooth movement and take new digital impressions so additional aligners can be made. The length of time that you will use Invisalign aligners will vary based on the original position of your teeth and your specific goals. Many individuals undergo the Invisalign process for approximately one year.
What Happens After Invisalign Treatment?
When you are done with your last set of Invisalign trays, it is crucial to allow time for your gums and jaw to adjust to the new position of your teeth. Invisalign Vivera® retainers are specially made to hold your teeth in place after your complete your final set of aligner trays. Each retainer will be made custom at the Invisalign dental laboratory from digital impressions taken at our office. Your Invisalign dentist will tell you how often to wear your retainer and how to care for it once it arrives at our MINT dentistry facility in College Park, GA. Your dentist will continue to check your teeth alignment and bite when you visit our practice for dental exams.
