Are you considering Invisalign to improve the quality of your smile? Invisalign is known for its effectiveness in straightening crooked teeth with the best invisible braces. Its efficacy in producing beautiful smiles makes it a highly popular cosmetic dental treatment. Dallas Laser Dentistry in Dallas, Texas, is your one-stop location for Invisalign treatment near me. These frequently asked questions explain more about what to expect from Invisalign.
Invisalign is a modern orthodontic system that replaces traditional brackets and wires with clear, plastic aligners to straighten crooked teeth. These aligners quickly and accurately shift crooked teeth into a straighter position when worn. Your Invisalign dentist will use advanced digital technology to map out a treatment plan that is conducive to your dental needs.
At Dallas Laser Dentistry, you’ll receive Invisalign treatment from Dr. Mary Swift or Dr. Morgan Petty and our dental team. We’ll evaluate your smile, discuss the problems you’d like to fix, and develop a treatment plan to get the desired results. Then, we’ll take digital impressions of your teeth to have a series of aligners customized for your procedure. When you wear the aligners, they apply measured pressure on your teeth to shift them into a straighter position. Invisalign aligners control the timing of shifting your teeth, targeting specific teeth at different stages of your treatment. To achieve optimal results, wearing the aligners for 20–22 hours daily is essential.
Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible on your teeth, ensuring a discreet treatment that fits any lifestyle. The aligners can be removed for meals and oral hygiene. You can eat normally without any dietary restrictions and keep up with your normal oral hygiene routine.
Invisalign can correct problems with crooked teeth, protruding and overlapping teeth, gaps between teeth, and overcrowding to give you a smile you’ll love! Dr. Swift or Dr. Petty will schedule appointments every 6–8 weeks to monitor your progress.
Invisalign aligners are custom-made to provide a comfortable, snug fit. They have no jagged edges or metal parts to irritate your gums or cheeks. When the aligners are first used, you may experience mild discomfort as your teeth are not used to having pressure on them. This discomfort will subside as you get adjusted to wearing your aligners. You may briefly experience similar discomfort when you switch to a new set of aligners as they apply additional pressure to your teeth.
The length of your treatment will depend on the problems that must be fixed. Some issues take longer to correct than others. The average treatment takes around 12 months to complete.
