InvisalignInvisalign clear aligners offer many benefits to straightening teeth. They move teeth more efficiently than conventional braces, so they take only half the time, or even less. The average treatment time is around 12 months, with some cases being completed in just six months. They are particular favorites with adults and older teenagers who may not want to wear traditional metal braces which are very noticeable. Visit our professional dentist at RJ Dental to get optimum results with Invisalign clear aligners. Invisalgin ProcedureAfter a complete examination and once it is determined that this Invisalign treatment will work for you and you agree to begin, highly detailed impressions of your teeth will be taken and scanned by the computer. The computer, with great precision, manufactures your Invisalign aligner. The computer will aid in planning tooth movements and will fabricate a series of 12 to 48 clear aligners. The dentist will then give you the first set, and you will snap it in place in your mouth. The first thing you will notice is that the aligner doesn't quite fit your teeth. The reason is that it is made to fit a new position for your teeth. Your teeth will gradually move to this new position for the next few days, and the aligner will become loose. Then there are a few days' rest while your teeth stabilize in their new position. After two weeks, you will receive a new aligner. This process is repeated until the teeth are fully moved into the desired positions. During your Invisalign treatment process, you will visit the office approximately every four weeks so the dentist can monitor your treatment, address any problems, and make slight corrections. Benefits of InvisalignInvisalign is truly invisible so that no one can tell that you're having your teeth straightened. They are removable, so you can eat and drink normally and enjoy what you want while in treatment. You will also remove your aligners for brushing and flossing. Invisalign is comfortable because there are no metal wires or sharp brackets to irritate your cheeks or tongue. Treatment time with Invisalign is faster. Cases take about half the time of conventional braces. There are fewer appointments. Half or more of the aligner changes can be done at home. Also, since all of the steps are pre-planned by computer, adjustment appointments in the office are quicker.
