Benefits Of Using Invisalign To Straighten Your Teeth

Invisalign is a series of clear, removable aligners that straighten your teeth without the wires and brackets of traditional braces. At Ideal Smiles of Stamford, your treatment consists of changing the aligners approximately every two weeks to gradually move your teeth into their desired position. This orthodontic treatment is best for adults and teenagers who want to correct mild to moderate alignment issues.

Although Invisalign can treat the same issues treated with traditional metal braces, there are some differences between the two treatments. The most significant difference between Invisalign and traditional braces is that you can remove Invisalign aligners to eat and clean your teeth. In contrast, you can’t remove traditional braces to clean or eat certain foods. This can make eating and cleaning your teeth while wearing conventional braces difficult. Invisalign is also virtually invisible to others around you. This makes Invisalign a great option for patients who do not want others to know they are undergoing orthodontic treatment.

How Does Invisalign Work?

Invisalign is a series of custom-made, clear aligners that you wear over your teeth to move them into place gradually. Each set of aligners works with a specifically-designed treatment plan from your dentist to move your teeth into the best possible position for your smile.

They fit snugly over your teeth and typically only need to be worn about 22 hours a day, removing them to eat, drink, brush, and floss. You will switch to your series's next set of aligners every two weeks or as directed. Each aligner slightly differs from the previous one to gently shift your teeth into their proper position. Gradually, the series of aligners will move your teeth into alignment. You’ll visit our office every six weeks to ensure everything progresses as planned. You’ll have straighter teeth and a beautiful smile in no time! Thanks to their removable nature, they’re also easy to clean and maintain to promote good oral hygiene. Plus, they are comfortable enough to wear while sleeping.
