What Can Invisalign Treat?
Invisalign is versatile enough to correct a wide range of alignment concerns, which is part of why it has become so popular. If your teeth or bite bother you, there is a good chance Invisalign can help. Invisalign can treat:
- Crowded teeth
- Gapped teeth
- Overbite
- Underbite
- Crossbite
- Open bite
During your consultation, you will discuss exactly what it is about your smile and bite that you want to change, and Dr. Sluyk will help you decide if Invisalign can accomplish your goals. For most people, Invisalign is a great option.
What Are The Benefits Of Invisalign?
There are a number of reasons that so many patients choose Invisalign over traditional braces, including the fact that it is:
- Nearly invisible
- Removable for eating and cleaning
- Comfortable, with no metal brackets or wires
- Custom-fitted to your smile
Invisalign Vs. Traditional Braces
Unlike metal braces, Invisalign aligners are removable, which means you can eat whatever you like and brush and floss normally throughout treatment. There are no wires to tighten and no brackets to irritate your cheeks. Many patients also find that Invisalign fits more easily into their daily routine, since the aligners are barely noticeable when worn.
How Do I Know Invisalign Is Right For Me
Invisalign works well for most teens and adults with mild to moderate alignment or bite concerns. The best way to know if you are a candidate is a consultation with Dr. Sluyk, where he will evaluate your teeth and discuss whether Invisalign or another treatment path is the better fit for your goals.
What Does The Process Of Getting Invisalign Look Like?
Invisalign will undoubtedly give you a straighter, more confident smile, but it is a time investment. There are four basic steps to getting Invisalign.
Step 1
Consultation We offer virtual consultations so that you can have your first consult in the comfort of your own home. During this appointment, you will discuss your goals and make a final decision about whether or not Invisalign is the right choice for you.
Step 2
Digital Smile Scan Your smile is unique to you, and your treatment plan should be too. Dr. Sluyk will take a digital scan of your teeth to map out exactly how they will move over the course of your treatment, giving you a preview of your final result before you even begin.
Step 3
Custom Aligners Once your treatment plan is finalized, your custom aligners are made specifically for your teeth. You will wear each set for about one to two weeks, moving on to the next set in the series as your teeth gradually shift into place. Most patients wear their aligners twenty to twenty-two hours a day, removing them only to eat, brush, and floss.
Step 4
Final Results And Retainer This is the moment you have been waiting for. Once you have worked through your full series of aligners, Dr. Sluyk will check your final results and make any last adjustments needed. To protect your new smile, you will be fitted for a retainer to wear so your teeth stay exactly where they belong.
