Let Invisalign Do a Little Hocus Pocus on Your Smile

For the people who wear Invisalign, the work these clear aligners do can feel magical. It’s very difficult for anyone to see Invisalign on your teeth, and the treatment discreetly gives you that straight smile you’ve always wanted. Hocus pocus? A talented cosmetic dentist? Maybe the potion involves a little bit of both.

Recipe for Success

Adults who long to get rid of their crooked teeth, gapped teeth, or misaligned teeth are excited about the ease and subtlety of Invisalign. Treatment takes an average of one year, though some patients’ treatments take longer or shorter, depending on where your teeth are now and where they need to move.

Aligners shift teeth one by one until your entire smile is guided into alignment. Your treatment plan is established by your Haymarket Invisalign provider at the start, and you will follow this course through to the end, barring any complications or problems with your oral health.

Invisalign Works Its Magic

Invisalign does the hard work, but it’s your job to support the efforts of Invisalign, and that means following all the rules:

• Wear Invisalign around the clock, 20 to 22 hours a day.
• Remove Invisalign for eating (including snacks).
• Clean the aligners daily.
• Brush and floss your teeth as usual, but especially clean your teeth before snapping Invisalign in place.
• Change aligners every two weeks or as instructed.
• See your dentist every six weeks for a check-up and to receive new aligners.

The instructions for wearing Invisalign are clear and easy – the success of this alignment method is up to the patient. If you adhere to your dentist’s instructions and do everything you’re supposed to with Invisalign, your treatment should be a success. And that’s not magic – it’s just a fact.

Your Daily Costume

Any dental patient who’s looking at a future with braces worries about how orthodontic treatment will impact their daily life. Invisalign eliminates many of the concerns that you would have with conventional brackets and wires.

There won’t be any foods getting stuck among the hardware on your teeth, no need to buy special tools or take more time than usual to clean your teeth and braces. There won’t be any metal wires spearing your lips and cheeks. Most of all, there won’t be an obvious brace-face or metal-mouth making your orthodontic treatment obvious to all.

Invisalign aligners are clear and super-thin. They are customized to each patient, so they fit snugly against your teeth. The aligners are smooth and comfortable – they don’t interrupt your speech or cause any unnecessary discomfort. Invisalign is straightening your teeth so with every new set of aligners there will be some pressure to endure, but that’s the extent of the unpleasantness.

Invisalign allows you to go about your daily life, costume intact, no one the wiser. Schedule an appointment with Dr. Sina Reangber, Haymarket Invisalign provider, to find out whether you’re a good candidate for Invisalign or Invisalign Express.
