Invisalign aligners straighten the teeth through the use of patented thermoplastic design.  It controls the force used to straighten teeth and it also controls the timing of force application.  Only a few teeth are moved during each stage.  What teeth that will be moving are determined by your doctor as they map out your individual treatment plan. #martindental

The timeline will vary.  For adults, the average treatment time is around 12 months.  This can vary depending on the severity of each individual case.  For teenagers, the treatment time will also vary.  Your dentist will work closely with you or your teen to help develop an individual treatment plan to fit your needs. Invisalign Queen Creek AZ

Attachments may also be used to further your perfect smile.  There are cases where a tooth-colored composite “bump” may be placed on the teeth.  This helps the aligner grip the teeth better, which will lead to the desired tooth movement. 

Gapped teeth, overbites, underbites and crowded teeth are just a few problems that Invisalign can correct.  While all these problems are unsightly, these type of problems can also affect dental health.  When the teeth have a gap, it can leave the gums unprotected and cause cause periodontal disease.  An overbite or underbite causes stress on the jaw.  This can lead to painful join problems.  When the teeth are overly crowded, this leads to plaque accumulation because it is difficult to floss.  This causes cavities to form in these crowded areas.  The use of Invisalign will address all of these problems, giving you a chance at your best possible oral health. Invisalign Queen Creek AZ

One of the best thins about Invisalign is that it doesn’t affect your daily routine.  You can take them off in the morning to clean them and the evening.  You just brush them like you brush your own teeth!  You have to take them out when it’s time to eat.  The great thing is, nothing will get stuck in any wires and brackets.  The teeth will stay cleaner with traditional braces because you are allowed to brush and floss normally. #smilewithconfidence Invisalign is also a great alternative for those who play contact sports.  All you have to do is remove the aligners while playing and then just place them in when you are done!
