What to Know About Invisalign

Something that many people argue to be the biggest #dental advancement in the last 50 years is Invisalign. Of course, in order to understand something like that, you should do your research about it. If you’ve bene talking with your Santa Clarita dentist about this, and they want you to get it, you’ll probably research and wonder a lot about it, and have some serious questions. Luckily, this article will tell you exactly how it works, and some of the nuances of it.

 

Now, Invisalign will straighten your teeth naturally, and unlike braces, these are invisible. Well, not really, but it is a much better option if you want an aesthetic look to your face, and these aligners will naturally straighten your teeth, without it being super obvious that it does so. It definitely is an improvement over conventional braces, and something that many people look at.

 

Now, how it’s done is pretty simple. First, the #orthodontist will take impressions, and soon, they’re put in a shipping container and they’re shipped to the hub in Mexico where the impressions are scanned. Then, the scans are reviewed by a technician in order to make sure that they are perfect, and from there, a digital model is made. The Invisalign algorithm is then used on this model, and then the result of this is called a ClinCheck, which is then given to the dentist treating you, such as your dentist in Santa Clarita. The dentist will then change up any of the appearances based on what you the patient needs, and then, the ClinCheck will show the improvement of the teeth every other week. Essentially, with each segment, there should be a quarter of a millimeter tooth movement done, and then, it continues that manner until it’s totally completed.

 

Now for the cases where a tooth needs to be brought down or even rotated, there might be some composite attachments put on there to bond to the teeth. Now, this will make it more noticeable, and it does make it slightly more uncomfortable, since it does irritate your cheeks and your #tongue. However, it’s miles better than getting braces and having that painful metal in your mouth, that’s for sure, and it’s rarely a problem for many people. Of course, the attachments can accelerate your cases and actually match the #ClinCheck as well. Your dentists will show you the ClinCheck when you do go in and discuss with you what will be done. You want to make sure that you get this, since it’ll show you the expectations, and you’ll be able to fix anything to your preferences as well.

 

Now, it’s obvious why you would choose this. First of all, they look so much better, for they’re nearly invisible, and many adults who have to get orthodontic appliances don’t want braces because they can be unsettling. Along with that, some cases tend to actually be quicker than normal braces versus Invisalign, since they can move many teeth at once. Invisalign is constantly moving the teeth, and it makes a ton more progress than the other in many cases.

 

It also has a much more comfortable nature to them, and you don’t have to worry about any sharpness or wires, and you can see the results immediately, whereas braces can’t. along with that though, there is less risk of hurting the tooth compared to with braces, and you’ll have a lot cleaner oral results with Invisalign, since you’ll be able to brush in a normal manner, and there is less risk of gingivitis and the like. Plus, you can use them as a whitening tray and a mouth guard too, so you’ll have something for life.

 

You should consider Invisalign if you do need to get something for your #teeth. Obviously, talk to your dentist before you get this, since they’re the ones dictating what to do. But of course, if you’re looking for a means to truly get the best oral hygiene that you can have for yourself, and some great alignment, then this is the way to go, for not only does it feel better, it’s way faster as well, and definitely worth it too.
