What Is Invisalign® Treatment?

Invisalign is a state-of-the-art orthodontic treatment system that uses a series of clear, nearly invisible plastic aligners to gradually shift your teeth into place. With innovative orthodontic treatments like Invisalign®, individuals looking to address their dental misalignment issues without the use of noticeable, traditional metal braces have a discreet and reliable solution.

Why Should I Choose Invisalign Over Other Orthodontic Treatments?

You should choose Invisalign because it has a proven track record of success. Since becoming available, Invisalign aligners have helped over 7 million individuals, including 1.4 million teens achieve smiles they’re proud of. In addition, Invisalign is the most advanced aligner system in the world with over 20 years of research and innovation behind it.

How Does Invisalign Treatment Work?

Dr. Poles at Omni Dental of arlington heights IL typically recommends Invisalign treatment to address mild or moderate orthodontic problems. So, if you’re experiencing issues such as overcrowding, crossbite, or spaces between your teeth, you’re probably a good candidate for treatment.

During your initial consultation, cosmetic dentist performs an oral exam and develops a unique digital treatment plan that maps out the step-by-step movements of your teeth. Next, he takes a series of digital impressions that a dental laboratory uses to manufacture your aligners. Each Invisalign aligner applies just the right amount of force to each tooth, restoring your smile to a healthy and aesthetically pleasing condition. Once treatment begins, you return to Omni Dental every two to three weeks to receive a new set of aligners.

How Long Does Invisalign Treatment Take?

The length of Invisalign treatment depends on the original condition of your teeth and the severity of your alignment issues. However, most people complete treatment within 12-18 months.

Following your initial treatment plan, you’ll also need to wear a retainer to prevent your teeth from moving out of place.

How Do I Clean My Invisalign Aligners?

One of the biggest challenges of having braces is removing all the food that gets trapped in the brackets and wires. This can often lead to plaque buildup and eventually tooth decay. With Invisalign, the aligners are removable, so it’s easy to continue brushing and flossing your teeth the way you normally do.

Cleaning your Invisalign aligners is simple. Rinse them throughout the day using cool tap water and brush them carefully with a soft-bristle toothbrush and toothpaste in the evenings. For more thorough cleanings, ask Dr. Poles about the Invisalign Cleaning System.
