Invisalign Q & A

How does Invisalign work?

You have an innovative new alternative to braces: Invisalign. With Invisalign, clear plastic aligners fitted over your teeth will align your teeth little by little over time.

The aligners are removable for easy eating and teeth cleaning, but you need to wear them for at least 20 hours per day for the best results. If you’re not eating or brushing your teeth, Invisalign aligners should stay in your mouth.



Is Invisalign really better than braces?

More and more young adults are choosing Invisalign thanks to its ease of use and comfortability. Curious about why Invisalign might be better than braces or other traditional orthodontic approaches? Check out these benefits:

  • Invisibility, because people want to see your real teeth, not a mouthful of metal
  • Comfort, thanks to the smooth plastic, you won’t get the mouth irritation caused by sharp metal braces
  • Convenience, thanks to your ability to easily remove them whenever you need to eat, brush, or floss
  • Timing, because consistent Invisalign treatments work up to 50% quicker than other orthodontic techniques



Who is a good candidate for Invisalign?

Invisalign can solve mild to moderate dental misalignments, like:

  • Crowded teeth
  • Gaps between teeth
  • Rotated teeth
  • Relapse after braces

If you have major orthodontic and alignment issues, your dentist may recommend a different treatment. Book an appointment with Skyview Dental Partners, LLC to find out if Invisalign is right for you.



What can I expect from Invisalign treatment?

First, your teeth need to be examined by your dentist to see if Invisalign is the ideal choice for you. She may use a digital scanner to create 3D images of your teeth or make physical impressions. This helps your dentist develop a precise treatment plan.

Then your dentist customizes clear, plastic aligners that fit your teeth. While you wear them, the aligners gradually push your teeth where they are supposed to go. As your teeth begin to shift, new aligners may be made. This process repeats until your smile has its new shape.
