Invisible Aligners: Straighten Your Teeth To a Better Smile
Invisible aligners continue to help people achieve an improved smile without the disadvantages that are associated with traditional braces. What is the difference between traditional braces and invisible aligners? Braces use brackets that are connected by wires that urge a person’s teeth to move. It ultimately aligns and straightens them, while also improving dental health. Invisible aligners function as a mouthpiece that slides right over your teeth. It is tight-fitting and custom-made. The best part, the invisible aligners do not show. The cutting-edge technology has transformed millions of smiles.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Invisible aligners might not be for every person. It is important to find a dentist that you trust and will put together a treatment plan that is best for you. A good way to vet a dentist in NYC is to inquire about how much experience they have and to see before-and-after pictures.
Invisible aligners are designed to be tight fitting, so they are best for adults or teens. Because children’s mouths are still growing and developing, straightening their teeth is more complicated. Therefore, Invisalign might not be their healthiest option. Your dentist will make that decision.
Men and women who suffer from mild to severe overcrowding can think about invisible aligners as a viable treatment option. In addition, those who have issues with spacing, underbites, overbites, or crossbites, would also be good candidates.
How Do Invisible Aligners Work?
A dental team should design a custom treatment plan to correct your smile. The next step is getting fitted with several versions of the invisible aligners. Over the course of the treatment time, you will notice slight changes. The end result is a brighter and more aligned smile.
Invisalign is designed to fit tight, but comfortably over your teeth. They are made from clear plastic or acrylic material. Living with the mouthpiece should not change any of your normal activities and Invisalign is intended to fit seamlessly into your life. People can continue to eat all of the same foods. The aligner can be removed at any time to eat, brush, or floss teeth. It is recommended to wear them between 20 and 22 hours per day.

How Long Until My Teeth Are Straighter?
Invisible aligners are now a go-to for adults hoping to fix their smile. Typically, treatment can take anywhere between 10 to 24 months, but the time frame will vary from person to person. It depends on how much moving and rotating the aligners need to do. If your teeth are severely crooked, it takes the mouthpiece longer to do its job. Dentists say that if an adult had braces as a child, but their teeth shifted, the time frame to see results, could be fewer than 10 weeks.
The Invisalign Difference
Choosing invisible aligners over braces can positively affect your oral health. Having the ability to remove the mouthpiece, allows a person to brush and floss their teeth better.
Oral health is important in maintaining a good smile. Fixing crooked teeth is great for cosmetic purposes but having a lifetime of healthy teeth, is equally as important, and invisible aligners from Invisalign is a great way to ensure both the health and appearance of your smile.
