What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a cosmetic dentistry treatment that consists of using a number of clear aligners to correct crooked teeth, crowded teeth, and a misaligned bite. Each aligner gradually straightens and moves the teeth to correct their position before you move to the next one. The removable aligners also allow you to straighten your teeth at Swan Orthodontics without needing metal braces that are much more obvious than these clean aligners.
When you come to our office in Caledonia, Dr. Swan and our team will scan your teeth and create a customized treatment plan for your unique dental needs.
Who is a Candidate for Invisalign Treatment?
Most of our patients who need straight teeth or to correct their bite and don’t want more visible metal braces are good candidates for Invisalign. But beyond that, there are certain criteria we follow to ensure this is the right treatment for you.
Ideal Candidates for Invisalign Clear Aligners in Caledonia Are:
- Able to maintain good oral hygiene
- Able to wear your aligners for at least 20-22 hours per day
- Not experiencing any active gum disease
- Have realistic expectations of treatment
Invisalign Aligners Benefits
Invisalign treatment comes with a variety of benefits, including the following:
- Virtually invisible and discreet alternative: Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible, making them much more discreet. Unless someone is very close to you, they likely won’t even be able to see that the aligners are there.
- Removable: Invisalign aligners are completely removable and should be taken out when you eat and drink anything besides water.
- Comfortable and customizable: Your aligners will be customized and fitted to your teeth and mouth to ensure a comfortable fit.
- Easier to keep up oral hygiene: Because you can remove your aligners, it’s much easier to keep up your oral hygiene and brush and floss your teeth.
- Fewer food restrictions: As you remove your aligners before you eat or drink, there are far fewer restrictions on what you can consume than with traditional metal braces.
