What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a modern way to straighten teeth. With new scanning technology, dentists can non-invasively scan your teeth and create a set of custom aligners that can slowly adjust your teeth to the optimal position. 

Austin Advanced Dentistry understands that the appearance of traditional braces might look unappealing to some. Adults, in particular, love clear alignment systems, like Invisalign, that appear invisible to friends and colleagues alike.

Clear aligners are made with a medical-grade polyurethane resin and are practically invisible. Their edge borders the exact ridgeline of your teeth. Every aligner is custom fit and works slowly to guide your teeth into placement.

How long does Invisalign take?

Invisalign must be worn for 22 hours daily to have the maximum effect. 

Take out your aligners during meals and when you drink or eat anything other than cold water. Brush your teeth and rinse with water before putting your aligners back in to avoid any food particles getting stuck.

As long as clear aligners are worn correctly, most Invisalign treatments last between 12 and 18 months. Depending on the particular oral condition, your treatment can vary in time. Some cases take as little as six months. Many people begin to see improvements in their teeth within the first three months.

What are the benefits of Invisalign?

Any new appliance in your mouth may take some time to get used to. However, Invisalign aligners are often more comfortable than braces for a number of reasons:

• Removable aligners are often more comfortable and convenient than braces
• Allows for better dental hygiene
• Improves overall health and function of the teeth and jaw
• Fixes dental problems and works to prevent them
• Fewer dental visits than with conventional braces
• Non-invasive scanning
• Eat and drink freely

There are many benefits to using Invisalign to straighten your smile. You can conveniently straighten your teeth at a comfortable pace while cleaning your teeth, eating, and drinking normally.

Moreover, you can remove some orthodontic solutions, like Invisalign, for better access to your teeth during treatment. Invisalign makes brushing and flossing your teeth easy, significantly reducing your risk of cavities and gum disease while increasing comfort.

You’ll grow in confidence and with a smile as you slowly straighten your teeth in a way that is hardly noticeable.
