Invisalign

If you need straighter teeth, but do not want to deal with the look and feel of traditional braces, Invisalign provides a solution. Invisalign treatment involves a series of clear aligner trays that gently move your teeth into proper position, without relying on uncomfortable and unsightly braces and brackets. If you are interested in Invisalign in Canton, OH, reach out to Vani M. Patibandla DDS and the team at Patibandla Dental to learn more.

How Does Invisalign Work?

Invisalign is a teeth alignment system that uses clear aligners to straighten your teeth. Treatment starts with precise measurements of your mouth and teeth using 3D imaging technology, followed by the creation of your custom treatment plan. The images allow our team to create a system of aligners that gradually move each of your teeth through the treatment process until you have proper alignment.

You will wear each tray for a set period of time, typically 20 to 22 hours a day for a week or two, before moving to the next set. Each tray is a slight adjustment over the previous one, gradually getting your teeth into proper alignment.

Benefits of Choosing Invisalign

Invisalign has many benefits over traditional braces treatment. First, it’s nearly invisible, so you can straighten your teeth without enduring months of wearing metal brackets on your teeth. Second, with Invisalign, most patients have an easier time brushing and flossing. Better oral healthcare improves the overall health of our mouth, limits the risk of cavities, and reduces the chances of staining.

In addition, Invisalign treatment is more comfortable than traditional braces. You won’t have to deal with wax to cover wires or brackets that are poking you. Most people find the discomfort from the movement of their teeth is less with Invisalign as well because the process moves so gradually.

Another perk is fewer visits to the office, which is great for busy, working adults and high school students. You will need to be seen every few months instead of every few weeks because the trays do the job without the need to have wires tightened and adjusted.

Finally, with Invisalign, you can eat whatever foods you like. Simply remove the aligner trays and enjoy your favorite foods, no matter how sticky or crunchy they are. Just remember to clean your teeth before putting them back in.

What Types of Problems Can be Treated with Invisalign?

Invisalign treatment offers a wide range of bite correctors, palate expanders, and more, so most alignment issues can be fixed using Invisalign. Even extremely crooked and twisted teeth can gently and gradually be put into alignment using Invisalign trays, provided you have a skilled team guiding treatment.

You are likely a good candidate for Invisalign if you have any of the following conditions:

• Crowding or Gaps
• Over and Underbites
• Crossbites
• Open Bites

This treatment works well for teenagers and adults, but children typically do better with braces because they can forget to wear the Invisalign.
