If all you can envision with orthodontics is metal brackets and wires on your teeth, it’s time you learned about Invisalign. Invisalign is a modern way to straighten crooked teeth and correct bite issues. In place of metal braces, Invisalign uses clear aligners to perfect your smile. Dr. Ramin Mirmooji from Msmiline Cosmetic Dentistry in Pierrefonds, Quebec, is here to bring you up-to-date on Invisalign treatment — the latest in orthodontic technology.
Invisalign clear aligner therapy offers an alternative to traditional metal braces to straighten your smile. The brackets and wires are replaced with a series of customized thermoplastic aligners that straighten your teeth with greater accuracy and precision. Invisalign treatment can correct multiple dental issues in one treatment, including problems with spacing, malocclusion, and overcrowding.
Teens and adults alike can benefit from Invisalign treatment. Invisalign is particularly suited for people who are concerned about their appearance, as the clear aligners are barely noticeable on your teeth. Invisalign works best on mild to moderate orthodontic issues, a category that many people fit under. After examining your teeth and assessing your dental needs, Dr. Mirmooji can determine if Invisalign can help make your dream smile come true.
Invisalign offers the following perks for perfecting your smile:
Using Invisalign CAD technology, Dr. Mirmooji will personalize a treatment plan conducive to your smile’s needs. Then we’ll have a series of aligners custom-made for your use. The aligners are designed to put controlled pressure on your teeth to gently shift them into a straighter position. You’ll switch to a new set of aligners every few weeks to continue the straightening process until you achieve the results you desire. By wearing the aligners as directed, i.e. 20 to 22 hours a day, you’ll reach your smile goals quicker.
To keep the aligners clean, brush them gently with a soft-bristle toothbrush and clear, liquid soap. Rinse with warm water before returning them to your mouth. Every few days, soak your aligners in Invisalign solution to eliminate stains and bacteria.
Treatment times will vary depending on the problems being addressed. Minor spacing problems can often be corrected in as little as 6 months. Average treatment times range from 12 to 18 months. We’ll estimate a time frame for completing your treatment at your initial consultation.
