How Invisalign® Treatments Work
Invisalign® treatments involve wearing a series of aligner that that are used to gently nudge the teeth into their correct positions. Your treatment length and the number of trays you are prescribed are dependent on your personalized course of treatment.
The difference is clear. Invisalign® aligner trays are constructed of a clear thermoformed plastic — they are also BPA- and bisphenol S-free. These trays perfectly encapsulate the teeth and can be removed whenever you eat or brush your teeth. Since they are totally transparent, most people won’t be able to tell you’re wearing any type of orthodontic device.
Conditions Treated
Invisalign® clear aligners are used to correct a number of conditions affecting the teeth and jaw. These include:
- Gapped teeth (diastema)
- Overcrowding
- Overbite
- Underbite
- Open bite
- Crossbite
Comfortable by Design
Invisalign® clear aligners are designed for comfort. The surfaces of these aligners are ultra-smooth to reduce the possibility of irritation. In fact, after a few days, you’ll most likely forget you’re wearing them at all.
Are Invisalign Treatments Right for Me?
Invisalign® treatments are designed to correct minor to moderately severe cases of crooked and misaligned teeth (malocclusions), as well as conditions such as overbites, underbites, and teeth crowding. In more extreme cases, this may not be the preferred treatment method.
At our Silver Spring, MD orthodontics practice, we offer both Invisalign® and Invisalign Teen® treatments. Dr. Wiltshire of Straighten Up Orthodontics would be happy to go over your options and determine which treatment method is best for you.
