What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a dental process in which the patient wears a series of clear, removable aligners that gradually straighten their teeth. This is often the chosen method because there are no brackets and wires involved with none of the food restrictions that come with metal braces.
Invisalign can be a great solution for both adults and teens looking for a virtually invisible method to improve their smiles. Innovations and advancements created by Invisalign make it possible to fix nearly all common teeth-straightening and bite issues, without interrupting the patient’s busy life. They have even created an easy and desecrate way for parents to know if/when their teens are wearing their clear aligners. This helps parents to protect their investment in their child’s oral treatment.
To start your Invisalign journey you will need a consultation appointment with Dr. Spear during which he will evaluate your smile and map out a precise, customized digital treatment plan that showcases the step-by-step transformation of your smile. Once you are both on board with your plan, your unique to you aligners will be created. You will change to a new set of aligners every 1 to 2 weeks and will wear your aligners for 20-22 hours per day. It may sound like a lot BUT the alternative of having braces is 24/7 and can be more painful. Each set of aligners will gently and gradually shift your teeth into place until you reach your beautiful new smile.
The tech that goes along with Invisalign treatment is pretty cool. You will have a unique digital treatment plan and will be able to see the exact movement of your smile. Because of the preciseness of this process, your clear aligners will place the exact right amount of force to the right place at the right time based on your plan. Dr. Spear will be with you every step of the way to monitor your progress and ensure your aligners fit correctly and that your treatment plan is on track.
Are you wondering how Invisalign is different from the other teeth straightening options? That’s pretty common. There are many options marketed online that you do yourself and don’t have the support of a specialized doctor like Dr. Spear overseeing the progress of changes. Dr. Spear chooses to use Invisalign with his patients because it has shown the best results. He has personally observed other cheaper options and Invisalign gives his patients the most beautiful smiles.
Invisalign is the most advanced clear aligner system in the world, backed by more than two decades of innovation and millions of great results. Unlike braces, Invisalign clear aligners are removable and virtually invisible. There are no wires and brackets, so you don’t need to change the way you brush and floss. And, you can continue to eat all your favorite foods.
