What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a revolutionary orthodontic treatment that uses custom-made, clear aligners to gradually straighten the patient’s teeth. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible and can be easily removed for eating, brushing, and special occasions.

Benefits of Invisalign Technology

Choosing to undergo Invisalign treatment in Madison, AL, offers numerous advantages:

  • Invisibility: Clear aligners make treatment discreet.
  • Comfort: The smooth plastic aligners are gentle on your mouth.
  • Convenience: Invisalign aligners are easily removable for eating and oral hygiene.
  • Predictability: Our dentists in Madison offer custom treatment plans for effective results. Without the chaotic element of metal wires or brackets shifting in your mouth, Invisalign makes it easier to stick to the treatment plan you designed with our Invisalign doctor.

How Does Invisalign Work?

If our dentist recommends Invisalign, you can expect the following:

  1. Consultation: Meet with our experienced Madison dentists to discuss your goals and assess your suitability for Invisalign.
  2. Custom Aligners and Treatment Plan: After determining your suitability, your doctor will take impressions of your teeth using our state-of-the-art digital scanning system. We’ll work with you to create a treatment plan that complements your unique lifestyle and oral health.
  3. Aligner Fitting: You’ll receive your custom aligners and begin wearing them as directed by our dental team. Invisalign works best when worn between 20 to 22 hours each day.
  4. Progress Check-ups: Schedule regular dental checkups at our Madison, AL, practice to monitor progress and receive new sets of aligners as your teeth gradually move into place. Each set of Invisalign trays will be worn for two weeks throughout your treatment plan. Your plan will be personalized for you!

Are You an Invisalign Candidate?

Invisalign is suitable for many orthodontic issues, including:

  • Crowded teeth: When there’s a lack of room within your jaw, it can prevent your teeth from fitting in normally.
  • Wide gaps between teeth: This occurs when you have extra space within your jaw.
  • Overbites: An overbite is when the upper teeth overlap significantly with the lower teeth.
  • Underbites: The lower teeth protrude past the front teeth, usually caused by undergrowth of the upper jaw, overgrowth of the lower jaw, or both.
  • Crossbites: These occur when the upper and lower jaws are both misaligned. It usually causes one or more upper teeth to bite on the inside of the lower teeth and can happen on both the front and/or sides of the mouth.

Other dental health factors may also determine the suitability of Invisalign. Call our dentists at (256) 772-2626 to make an appointment. Our skilled team at Madison Dental Care will determine if the Invisalign system is right for you during your consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Patients treated with the Invisalign system experience some discomfort or pressure when they first start wearing a new set of aligners. This discomfort typically subsides within a few days as your teeth adjust. Traditional braces run the risk of less forgiving metal wires and brackets poking your gums while straightening teeth. Invisalign aligners are gentler on the sensitive interior of your mouth.

One downside of Invisalign treatment is that it requires you to wear the aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day, which demands discipline and commitment. Additionally, you must remove the aligners when eating or drinking anything other than water and clean them regularly to maintain oral hygiene. Failing to follow these guidelines can prolong treatment and affect results.

To care for your Invisalign aligners, clean them daily using a soft toothbrush and clear, mild soap, or the Invisalign cleaning crystals. Avoid using hot water, as it can warp the plastic. Always rinse your aligners before putting them back in your mouth and store them in their case when not in use to prevent damage or loss. Regularly brushing and flossing your teeth will also help maintain good oral hygiene during your treatment.

Invisalign is effective for a wide range of orthodontic issues, including mild to moderate cases of crowded teeth, gaps between teeth, and certain bite irregularities. Some severe cases may require different alignment technology. Visit an Invisalign-trained doctor for an in-person consultation to determine if Invisalign will work for you.

Yes, the results of Invisalign can be permanent, but maintaining them requires proper care. After completing treatment, you will need to wear a retainer as prescribed by your dentist to keep your teeth in their new positions. Without this step, there is a risk of your teeth shifting back. Regular follow-ups with your dentist will help ensure long-lasting results.
