How Does
Invisalign® Work?
Invisalign consists of a set of clear, comfortable aligners, each one designed to represent a different stage of your smile as your teeth gradually move into their ideal alignment. Your series of aligners will be specially designed using an impression of your mouth to make sure your trays are both effective and comfortable.
All you have to do is wear each aligner for the appropriate amount of time before switching to the next ones in your series. Additionally, we ask that you attend regular follow-up appointments with Dr. Hamm every four to six weeks so she can monitor your progress and help you with any concerns.
When using Invisalign, there are no pesky brackets, bands, or wires to worry about. The aligners are easily removable, so you won’t have to make any changes to your diet or oral hygiene routine at home. Better yet, treatment can usually be completed in just 6-18 months, with changes becoming visible after just a couple of months. We know you’ll be amazed by the results!
The Benefits of Invisalign®
- Subtle Appearance: The aligners are practically invisible when worn on the teeth, meaning a patient is able to go through their day without worrying about people noticing their treatment. Basically, Invisalign patients are able to smile with confidence both during and after treatment!
- Consistent Comfort: Every Invisalign aligner is custom-made for each patient out of smooth plastic that won’t irritate the gums, lips, or cheeks.
- Convenience: The aligners are removable, meaning a patient can simply take them out whenever it’s time to eat or brush their teeth. Unlike braces, you won’t have to change your diet or spend more time cleaning your teeth with Invisalign.
Candidates for Invisalign®
Invisalign is ideal for adults and older teens who are looking to straighten crooked, crowded, or gapped teeth without having to wear noticeable metal braces. It’s a more cosmetically-focused option tailor-made for today’s world that is built on first impressions.
However, Invisalign would not be suited for patients with complex teeth/jaw alignment problems, or those with existing dental issues such as tooth decay, cavities, and gum disease. For more complicated orthodontic issues, a patient will be advised to visit a specialist so they can get the quality of care that they need.
Invisalign is also not recommended for young children as their mouths still need time to grow and develop naturally.
Invisalign® Smile Maintenance
Once you have completed your Invisalign treatment, how do you ensure that your teeth stay straight and gorgeous? You will likely be given a retainer to wear to help your newly shifted teeth stay in place, so be sure to wear it as often as Dr. Hamm instructs you to. You’ll likely wear it full time right after your treatment, then only to bed, and eventually, you won’t have to wear it at all!
It’s also imperative that you maintain routine oral hygiene, which consists of brushing, flossing, and regular checkups with Dr. Hamm. Untreated dental problems can lead to conditions like gum disease and tooth loss that can cause your teeth to shift out of place.
