What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is an orthodontics treatment available at Seattle Dentists that uses clear aligners to shift crooked or misaligned teeth into a more desirable position. It’s sometimes called clear braces. 

The treatment is painless and simple, offering a perfect smile in as little as six months. Invisalign is just as effective as traditional braces for many patients but without bulky brackets or unsightly metal wires.

Which benefits does Invisalign offer?

Invisalign offers an array of dental benefits, including:

• Easier teeth cleaning
• Clear speech
• Improved tooth alignment
• Straighter teeth
• A more gorgeous smile
• Long-lasting results
• No pain or invasive procedures

Invisalign uses clear plastic aligners to achieve outstanding results without pain or the risk of complications.

Am I a candidate for Invisalign?

Invisalign is an appropriate orthodontics treatment for a variety of patients with crooked teeth, including teenagers in many cases. To determine which treatment is best for your situation, your Seattle Dentists provider examines your gums and teeth, reviews the results of your dental X-rays, and discusses your treatment preferences and desired results.

What happens during Invisalign treatment?

During Invisalign treatment, your provider scans your teeth and mouth, allowing a dental lab to craft custom-fitted plastic aligners that conform perfectly to your natural teeth. When they’re ready, you wear the aligners for 20-22 hours daily unless you’re eating, flossing, or brushing your teeth.

Keep your aligners clean by brushing them with a toothbrush and gentle dish soap or using the Invisalign cleaning system available at Seattle Dentists. Avoid rinsing the aligners with hot water, since doing so may warp the plastic. Call your dentist if an aligner gets lost or damaged or any time you have concerns or questions during treatment.

How long should I wear Invisalign aligners?

Every week or two, or as instructed by your dentist, you'll switch to another set of aligners in your treatment series. While every patient has unique needs, you might wear the aligners for 6-18 months to achieve the most desirable result. Attend periodic evaluations with your dentist to ensure the treatment works as designed.
