Invisalign
Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment system to straighten teeth through the use of clear plastic molds. The virtually invisible braces eliminate the metallic smile that is characteristic of the old-fashioned, traditional braces. Invisalign invisible braces are custom-molded to fit your teeth.
It is a brand name and identifies clear aligner orthodontics, the technique. Just as Kleenex is a brand most associated with facial tissues, though there are better “Kleenex” out there. Clear Correct is one of those better Invisalign’s out there. That is the brand Dr. Dwivedi utilizes for Invisalign orthodontics
Invisalign braces, over time, reposition your teeth into the straighter, more attractive smile you’ve always wanted. The ease and convenience of Invisalign have made it the choice for over 500,000 people in the last few years. One of the most appealing aspects of Invisalign braces is that there are no metal wires or bands constantly irritating your teeth and gums.
Invisalign’s popularity may also be attributed to the fact that most people won’t even notice your clear braces, and the braces won’t interrupt your busy lifestyle. At your free initial consultation, Cosmetic Dentist, Dr. Dwivedi will discuss Invisalign braces with you, and, together, you can decide if this is what you’re looking for.
Once you’ve decided to get Invisalign, Dr.Dwivedi will use computer imaging to create your invisible braces. After taking bite impressions of your mouth, he will use the computer system to create a series of clear retainers. The very first one will fit the current configuration of your teeth, and each successive retainer will apply gentle pressure to move your teeth to their target alignments.
The number of applications will depend on your individual needs, but the average number is between 18-30. Each retainer is worn for two weeks, 24 hours a day (except during meals), and then the next aligner is used. The complete Invisalign teeth repositioning process takes the same amount of time as traditional orthodontics.
Advantages Abound
The advantages of the Invisalign system are numerous. Many people would rather live with crooked teeth than entertain the thought of living with silver, painful braces for two years or more. The clear Invisalign system was created to introduce much-needed aesthetics to the field of orthodontics. This system also allows its wearers to brush and floss as they normally would, reducing the chances of staining and decay that often occur with traditional braces. Food and drink limitations are not necessary; if patients wish to eat or drink foods that may interfere with the braces, they can simple remove the retainer.
The disadvantages of the Invisalign system are practically non-existent. Patients who do not wear the retainers as directed may not see the results they desired. And patients with sensitive teeth and/or gums may feel some discomfort when they switch to a new retainer. These problems are certainly minor and rare, and all patients say the benefits far outweigh any problems.
The cost of Invisalign may be higher than traditional braces and depends on how many aligners need to be created for you to achieve the desired results. Your dental insurance may cover the treatment, but you should ask your insurance company directly what they cover regarding dental/orthodontic procedures before committing to anything.
Why ClearCorrect?
You deserve a smile you can be proud of, and ClearCorrect can make it happen. Our clear aligners are comfortable, removable, and, best of all, nearly invisible. Most people won’t even notice that you’re wearing them. And because you can easily remove the aligners to eat, you don’t have to change your diet like you might with braces. You can show off your smile with almost no impact on your daily life. Some severe cases of misalignment do require metal braces, but most patients can be treated just as effectively with clear aligners. The cost and length of treatment are generally comparable. Why wouldn’t you choose ClearCorrect?
ClearCorrect can treat a wide variety of issues that keep people from achieving their ideal smiles. Straighter teeth don’t just look better; they work better too. Poorly-aligned teeth can interfere with bite function, wear out quicker, and are more prone to cavities. Ask your doctor how ClearCorrect can help you.
