Invisalign: Treatment for Misaligned Teeth

By on March 3, 2014

Teeth that are crooked and misaligned can cause some problems. It can hinder you from chewing your favorite food properly, which can cause some digestion problems. Cleaning your mouth is quite difficult too, especially if there are overlapped teeth. This increases your risk of tooth decay, gingivitis, and bad breath. It can also make it harder to pronounce certain words. As a result, you’ll feel self-conscious about your appearance, which could lower your confidence. When it comes to straightening crooked teeth, you’ll need the help of your Indiana top cosmetic dentist. One of the best methods that he could recommend for fixing crooked teeth quickly and discretely would be to use Invisalign.

Invisalign is a series of clear, custom-made aligners worn to move your teeth into place. You’ll wear a new set every two weeks until the desired position is achieved. As your teeth are pushed into place, your dentist will need to monitor your teeth, so you need to drop by the clinic every six weeks. Since they’re made of clear plastic, they’re virtually invisible.

Invisalign isn’t for everyone, so you’ll need to get a checkup from your dentist. The assessment involves a complete examination of your mouth, teeth, gums, and jaw. During your initial checkup, feel free to ask your dentist questions, so you’ll have a better understanding of the procedure.

Once you’re approved for treatment, your dentist will need to take X-rays and photos of your teeth. These will help him create a three-dimensional image of your teeth, which he will use in preparing a personalized treatment plan for you. He will show you a virtual representation of your mouth and explain the expected movement of your teeth in every phase during your Invisalign treatment. As soon as he’s done, he’ll send the images to a dental laboratory who’ll fabricate your custom set of Invisalign aligners. Once the aligners are ready, you’ll have to wear them for 20 to 22 hours a day. You can remove the aligners when you need to eat, brush, or floss. Maintaining your Invisalign aligners is easy and your dentist will provide you with additional tips and instructions as well.

Straighten your teeth quickly and comfortably with Invisalign. For an appointment with your Indiana top cosmetic dentist, please call Dr. Smith at 317-597-8748.
