10 Key Facts You Should Know about Invisalign Orthodontics
Do you need orthodontic treatment? Consider Invisalign! Invisalign replaces the traditional brackets and wire system with clear aligners to straighten your teeth. You can learn more about Invisalign treatments near me in Vancouver, BC, by scheduling a consultation with Dr. Adi Nokiani, Dr. Eric Quan, or Dr. Jason Park from Simply Wellness Dental.
The following facts about Invisalign can help you decide if it’s right for you.
1. Invisalign is Highly Versatile
In addition to general misalignments, Invisalign can be used to correct crossbites, overbites, underbites, gaps between teeth, overlapping teeth, and crowding issues. A few problems are beyond the ability of Invisalign to fix.
2. Invisalign Procedures are Tailored to Your Needs
Invisalign treatments aren’t one size fits all, as people differ in their orthodontic needs. They’re meticulously planned using digital imaging technology to address your specific dental needs and achieve your best smile.
3. Aligners Must Be Worn Full-time
Aligner use isn’t optional or at your convenience. You must wear the aligners consistently if you want optimal results from Invisalign treatment. Ideally, you should wear your aligners 20 to 22 hours a day and switch them every two weeks to keep your teeth in constant movement throughout your procedure.
4. Treatments are Discreet
Invisalign aligners blend in with your smile due to their transparent, plastic composition. When worn, they’re hardly noticeable, making your treatment very discreet.
5. The Aligners are Removable
Invisalign has made its aligners removable so you can eat and brush your teeth like normal. The convenience of removable aligners makes it easier to eat a balanced diet and keep your teeth clean throughout your procedure.
6. There are No Dietary Restrictions
As the aligners are removed for eating, there are no dietary restrictions. This makes holiday eating and dining out more enjoyable as you don’t have to take any foods off the menu.
7. Good Oral Care is a Must
Good oral care is essential to the success of orthodontics. Invisalign simplifies oral care by having you remove the aligners for oral hygiene. Brushing and flossing after every meal will help keep your teeth free of decay and gum disease that can delay your procedure and compromise your smile.
8. Treatment Times Vary
On average, Invisalign treatments take 12 to 18 months to complete. Completion times vary, however, as some treatments are easier or more complex than others. We’ll give you a tentative timeline for your procedure during your initial consultation.
9. Fewer Dental Visits
As there are no bands or wires to adjust with Invisalign, there’s no need for frequent dental visits. We’ll schedule appointments every 6 to 8 weeks to check your progress and fine-tune your treatment, if needed.
10. Invisalign Results Can Be Permanent
By wearing a retainer as instructed after your treatment is complete, you can keep your smile perfectly aligned for life. This makes Invisalign well worth your while!
