Are you tired of feeling self-conscious about your smile due to misaligned teeth? The good news is that Invisalign, an innovative solution available at  Afton Dental, can help you achieve the smile you've always dreamed of. Say goodbye to traditional metal braces and explore the benefits of a more comfortable and discreet orthodontic treatment option.

What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign is an innovative teeth-straightening solution that utilizes custom-made, clear aligners to gently shift your teeth into their desired positions. Unlike traditional braces with wires and brackets, Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible and can be easily removed, making them a popular choice among teens and adults alike.

What Is the Invisalign Process?

The journey to your dream smile starts with a consultation. We will assess your teeth and discuss your goals to determine if Invisalign is the right choice for your smile. The procedure includes the following:

 

  • Custom Treatment Plan: If Invisalign is a good fit for you, we will create a personalized treatment plan. We will use advanced 3D imaging technology to map out the gradual movement of your teeth and estimate the duration of your treatment.
  • Custom Aligners: Based on the treatment plan, we will create a series of custom-made aligners specifically for you. These aligners are made from a comfortable, smooth plastic material that won't irritate your cheeks or gums.
  • Wearing the Aligners: You'll wear each set of aligners for about one to two weeks before switching them for the next set in the series. You'll need to keep them in your mouth 20-22 hours a day, only removing them for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing.
  • Gentle Shifts: The aligners will exert gentle pressure on your teeth, gradually guiding them into the desired positions. You'll switch to a new set of aligners as your teeth make progress, about every two weeks.
  • Regular Check-ups: Throughout your Invisalign journey, you'll have regular check-ups to ensure everything is going as planned. These appointments are essential to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments.

What Are the Benefits of Invisalign?

One of the most remarkable advantages of Invisalign is its discreet nature. The aligners are clear and nearly invisible, allowing you to straighten your teeth without interfering with your smile. Another benefit is the flexibility Invisalign offers. You will be able to remove the aligners when you need to eat, drink, or clean your teeth, meaning that you can continue to enjoy all your favorite foods without worrying about damaging brackets or wires. Just remember to wear your aligners consistently to ensure optimal results. Maintaining good oral hygiene is also easier with Invisalign. You can brush and floss as you usually would, which can help prevent cavities and gum issues during your treatment.
