How Invisalign Works in Henderson

Invisalign is an effective alternative treatment to metal braces for teeth straightening. It is becoming increasingly popular because of how discreetly it works on your teeth. Invisalign is practically invisible.

Invisalign is good at what it does: straightening teeth.

Invisalign has its own strengths and weaknesses. For example, with severe overbites, metal braces do better.

How Does Invisalign Work?

Invisalign treatment uses 3D computer-imaging technology that helps your dentist generate a treatment plan. The treatment plan shows the gradual changes in your teeth up to the desired look.

Your Invisalign dentist then designs your sets of aligners. Each set is worn for a few weeks after which a new set is given.

The aligners deliver a controlled amount of force that is enough to shift teeth that are crooked, crowded, or twisted.

Invisalign aligners are made of a thermoplastic material that is clear, flexible, strong, and smooth.

Invisalign treatment involves a series of appointments with your dentist. Your dentist continues to monitor your progress throughout the treatment period.

Treatment can take 6 to 18 months depending on the problem you are correcting.

Advantages Of Invisalign

• Invisalign aligners are removable. You can take your aligners out for meals, brushing, and flossing. You must clean your aligners and teeth before putting them on again.
• Invisalign aligners are invisible. Have you seen anyone wearing them? You have probably met hundreds of people wearing their aligners but haven’t noticed because the aligners are nearly invisible.
• No food restrictions. If you are wondering whether you can eat with your aligners on, you shouldn’t worry. Take them off, eat what you want, clean up, and put them back. It’s that simple!

For best results, you need to wear your aligner sets for 20 to 22 hours daily.
