What is Invisalign?

Today, traditional metal retainers are no longer needed to straighten your teeth. Invisalign is the way to go if you want to straighten your teeth in an invisible, effective way. To gradually move your teeth into their proper positions, Invisalign uses a series of clear aligners. Invisalign treatment can be a faster alternative to conventional orthodontics, and it is compatible with different lifestyles.

Who's a candidate for Invisalign?

It should be noted that Invisalign is not a suitable treatment for all patients. However, more serious problems may need to be addressed in a different way if it is not able to solve mild to moderately complex problems. Moreover, since Invisalign aligners are removable and must be worn for at least 22 hours a day, they're only available to patients who take good care of themselves. We're offering free Invisalign consultations at Milestone to help you decide whether it's an option for you.

Benefits of Invisalign

The fact that Invisalign can be used in an unobvious way for teeth alignment is probably the greatest benefit of it. Because Invisalign aligners are removable, they can also make it easier to eat, drink, brush, and floss. Lastly, Invisalign aligners are incredibly comfortable and do not cause irritation as with other orthodontic treatments.

Does Invisalign treatment leave you feeling uncomfortable?

Each time you use a new set of aligners in your mouth, you may experience occasional discomfort like that experienced by the usual metal braces. This discomfort is usually the result of pressure and a sign that your aligners are working as intended to straighten teeth.

How many times do I need to go to the dentist for an Invisalign check?

We're glad you're busy, and we're happy to inform you that Invisalign exams are only every 10-14 weeks. They're important because they give us a chance to make sure that your treatment is progressing as it should be. These visits are one of the big differentiators between Invisalign treatment and other clear aligners. The whole time you are being monitored by your doctor will ensure that the treatment is progressing as smoothly as possible.

Will having Invisalign treatment require me to wear a retainer?

After completing your Invisalign treatment, you must wear a retainer if you want your newly improved smile to last for years to come. It can guarantee that your teeth stay straight and lower your chance of recurrence. Treatment includes your initial pair of retainers, and we can provide several additional choices.

How should Invisalign aligners be cleaned?

We advise giving them a toothpaste and water brushing. Making this your routine every time you brush and floss your teeth is a smart idea.

How will my speech be affected by Invisalign?

Like other orthodontic devices, Invisalign may cause a temporary change in speech pattern. The good news is that you will be able to speak normally once your lips and tongue adjust to the aligners. Most of the time, nobody knows you're wearing them!

How long does a normal Invisalign treatment plan last?

The normal duration of your treatment plan will depend on your age and the complexity of your situation. Nonetheless, most patients finish their Invisalign course in roughly a year.
