Invisalign is a method of using clear aligners to shift misaligned teeth into position. These clear dental aligners are custom-made and are engineered to exert the right amount of force in the right places. The aligners are made out of a thermoplastic material that looks very similar to a dental whitening tray. Invisalign is an innovation in dental technology and it does not involve the use of wires or braces. The clear aligners can easily be removed and cleaned at the convenience of the patient. As the patient's teeth shift position, the aligners are also changed. This procedure of treatment is controlled by the dentist and it is suited according to the needs of the patient. Invisalign aligners can be used both by children and adults. At Phelps and Cohen Orthodontics we work efficiently with adults who require aligners for their teeth.
Invisalign technology has a wide range of benefits. The aligners are virtually invisible and they are less noticeable when the patient is wearing them. The Invisalign retainers can easily be removed and cleaned by the patient whenever required. At our orthodontics practice, we cater to adults who require aligners for their misaligned teeth. The Invisalign aligners are smooth, clear, and comfortable for the patients wearing them. Therefore this method of dental treatment is decidedly a step above regular braces.
The process of getting a clear aligner begins with a consultation with the dentist. Based on the condition of the patient's teeth and the patient's individual needs, the treatment process will be tailored accordingly. The clear aligners are custom-made for the patient so that they exert the right amount of pressure in the right areas. The patient is made to wear the aligners at least twenty to twenty-two hours a day. With the help of the aligners, the tooth will gradually shift into place. This procedure is very simple and efficient.
With Invisalign technology, your smile will stand out at all social gatherings so that you can wow your friends with the results of your treatment. Invisalign will not only benefit your oral health but it will also help with your self-esteem.
