Answering Your Questions<\/em> About Invisalign Clear Braces:<\/h2>\n\t

Which Patients<\/em> Are Good Candidates for Invisalign?<\/h3>\n\t

Invisalign is an excellent option but it is not the best solution for everyone. It is ideal for teens and adults, but not recommended for children that still have primary teeth and permanent teeth that have some growing left to do.<\/p>\n

At Friendly Dentistry, we will exam your teeth, and let you know if this is the best option for your alignment needs. In most cases, Invisalign is a great solution.<\/p>\n\t

How Do<\/em> Invisalign Braces Work?<\/h3>\n\t

During your first Invisalign braces appointment, 3D images are taken of your teeth. These images are used to create the trays (aligners) that you will slip over your teeth. These clear aligners are custom made to fit your mouth out of BPA free plastic.<\/p>\n

From your first appointment until the trays are ready, it is typically about a 4-week turnaround. Our dentist and hygienist will instruct you on how to insert the trays.<\/p>\n

Each tray is worn for about 2 weeks to move, rotate and correct your teeth. The process can take anywhere from as little as 6 months to as much as a year and a half, depending on your specific dental needs.\u00a0 The average time to reach the corrected state is about 1 year.<\/p>\n

Most patients find the clear aligner completely painless. It takes only a few days to get used to wearing them. They can be removed to eat, and then slipped right back on.\u00a0 You will wear the aligners all day, every day, and while you sleep.<\/p>\n

You will take the aligners out to brush and floss. The aligners can be brushed with a toothbrush when you brush your teeth to keep them clean.\u00a0 It is important to wear the aligners as directed to get the best results.<\/p>\n

Every two weeks you will switch to a new aligner. Your teeth will move in small increments of 1\/10th of a mm with every tray on average. This may sound like a small amount, but it is actually tremendous strides.<\/p>\n\t

Why Are<\/em> Clear Braces Best?<\/h3>\n\t

Beyond the esthetic of clear braces that so many patients are fond of, there are healthy teeth benefits as well. Metal braces can make it very difficult to keep your teeth clean, but with the clear braces you can just take the aligners out to get your teeth clean. They simplify good oral hygiene.<\/p>\n
