What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a cutting-edge orthodontic treatment that uses custom-made, clear aligners instead of traditional metal braces to correct misaligned teeth. These aligners are designed for discretion and comfort. They fit snugly over your teeth and work to shift them gradually into the desired position. This revolutionary system has helped millions worldwide achieve their dream smiles without the hassle of wires and brackets.
How Invisalign Helps You
A straighter smile does more than enhance your appearance—it provides numerous health benefits, too. Misaligned teeth can lead to challenges like jaw pain, tooth decay, and improper bite alignment.
Invisalign addresses these issues while maintaining confidence, as the aligners are nearly invisible when worn. Additionally, Invisalign makes it easier to maintain good oral hygiene throughout the treatment process, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease in the long run.
The Invisalign Process
1. Personalized Consultation
Your Invisalign journey starts with a comprehensive consultation at Beaverton TenderCare Dental. Dr. Lennie D. Wong, Dr. Maikhanh (MK) Tran, or Dr. Corey Buring will examine your teeth, discuss your goals, and determine if Invisalign is the right solution.
2. Digital Treatment Plan
We use state-of-the-art technology, including the iTero Digital Scanner, to create a detailed 3D model of your teeth. This allows us to show you a visual representation of your treatment plan and the anticipated results.
3. Custom Aligners
Once your treatment plan is finalized, we craft your custom aligners using advanced 3D printing and precision techniques. Each set of aligners is tailored specifically to fit your teeth and guide them into alignment.
4. Wearing Your Aligners
You’ll wear each set of aligners for about 1-2 weeks, for at least 20-22 hours a day, only removing them to eat, drink, brush, and floss. Over time, you’ll progress through a series of aligners, bringing you closer to your new, beautiful smile.
5. Routine Checkups
We’ll schedule check-ins every 4-6 weeks to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments. These visits ensure your treatment stays on track and yields the best possible outcome.
Taking Care of Your Invisalign Aligners
Proper care of your Invisalign aligners is essential to achieving optimal results. Here are some tips to maintain your aligners and keep your treatment on track:
- Clean your aligners daily with a soft toothbrush and clear, antibacterial soap. Avoid abrasive toothpaste.
- Rinse your aligners thoroughly before putting them back into your mouth.
- Always store your aligners in their protective case when not in use to prevent damage or loss.
- Avoid exposing your aligners to heat, as it may warp the material.
These simple steps will keep your aligners in excellent condition while maintaining proper oral hygiene throughout your treatment.
