For generations, people seeking a brilliant, beautiful, straight smile had to endure years of metal braces and wires. And these traditional orthodontics were as unsightly as they were uncomfortable. Thankfully, those days are over for patients at Let’s Smile Dental because Dr. Imran Ahmed and his associates proudly offer a more advanced way to straighten your teeth called the Invisalign system.
Invisalign is everything generations of people who wore traditional orthodontics wished they could wear. This system can correct dental issues such as overbite, crossbite, a bad bite, open bite, underbite, and other dental imbalances.
The system uses a series of transparent aligner trays that incrementally reposition teeth. The aligners are custom-made using digital scans of your mouth to create three-dimensional models of your teeth. This means you’ll have precisely fitted mouthpieces that will comfortably reposition your teeth without the need to be adjusted, as is the case with traditional braces. They also help chart predictable teeth movement, allowing us to show you just what your smile will look like by the end of your treatment.
Other advantages to clear aligners include:
During your treatment, your dentist will want you to drop in for a visit, so we check to make sure your orthodontic treatment is proceeding on schedule. And during your visit, you’ll receive your next sets of aligner trays for your upcoming treatment.
However, we should also point out a critical detail that can determine your treatment’s success rate. It’s very important that you wear the aligners as directed by your dentist. This usually means wearing your aligner for between 20-22 hours per day. It’s also good best practice to only remove your tray when brushing, flossing, or eating. And you want to wear Invisalign aligner trays in their correct order. Failure to follow the game plan usually results in treatment delays.
