Are you considering straightening your teeth but concerned about the appearance of traditional metal braces? Invisalign® offers a discreet and effective solution to enhance your smile without the typical inconveniences associated with conventional braces. At Lakeridge Dental in Brampton, we specialize in providing custom-made Invisalign® treatments designed to align your teeth subtly and comfortably.
What is Invisalign®?
Invisalign® uses a series of clear, removable aligners that are virtually invisible, allowing you to undergo orthodontic treatment without anyone noticing. These aligners are custom-made using advanced 3D computer imaging technology, ensuring a fit that is tailored specifically to your dental structure. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign® allows you to eat, brush, and engage in social interactions without discomfort or self-consciousness.
Who Can Benefit from Invisalign®?
Invisalign® is suitable for adults and teenagers who are looking to correct “late-onset crowding,” a common condition where the lower front teeth become more crowded over time. It is an excellent option for those who have had braces in the past but have experienced shifts in their alignment, as well as for individuals who have never undergone orthodontic treatment.
However, it’s important to note that Invisalign® is not suitable for everyone. Cases involving significant discrepancies in jaw size may require additional orthodontic interventions. At Lakeridge Dental, we invite you to a consultation to determine if Invisalign® is the right choice for you.
How Does Invisalign® Work?
The Invisalign® treatment process is straightforward and begins with a detailed assessment of your teeth using molds and photographs. This information is used to create your unique treatment plan, which you will review with your dentist to ensure you understand and are comfortable with the proposed steps.
- Custom Aligners: Once your treatment plan is finalized, your custom aligners are fabricated. You will wear each set of aligners for about two weeks before moving on to the next set in the series. Each aligner will make slight adjustments to the position of your teeth, according to a planned sequence, gradually moving them toward their correct positions.
- Attachments: In some cases, small amounts of tooth-colored composite may be attached to your teeth to assist with the movement process. These are called “attachments” and are virtually unnoticeable, blending seamlessly with your teeth.
- Retention Phase: After completing your series of aligners, retainers are necessary to ensure your teeth remain in their new positions. Your dentist will provide you with retainers and a wear schedule to follow, protecting your investment and maintaining your beautiful new smile.
