Having crooked teeth can affect your self-confidence and make you feel insecure about smiling and interacting with other people. A misaligned smile might also impact your career and how people in your professional orbit perceive you.
In the past, the only option for malocclusion was bulky and uncomfortable traditional braces. But today, you can discreetly and comfortably enjoy a more beautiful smile with Invisalign clear aligners by Dr. Geeta Gautham at Humber Valley Dental.
The Invisalign system works by wearing clear aligners tailored to individual teeth. Unlike metal braces, Invisalign clear aligners are discreet and barely detectable unless someone is up close to you. Invisalign allows patients to receive orthodontic care without visible metal brackets and wires. Also, clear aligners are removable, so enjoying your favourite foods and taking good care of your oral hygiene is easier.
Invisalign clear aligners work by gradually moving your teeth into their final positions. Over time, these subtle tooth movements work to straighten teeth while fixing problems like crowding, gaps between teeth, and even bite misalignment. Digital imaging guides each stage of your treatment process. You’ll visit Humber Valley Dental every two weeks to replace your aligners with new ones.
First, traditional metal braces with brackets and wires are uncomfortable. But also, many patients don’t like how they look on their teeth. Invisalign clear aligners have many advantages over traditional braces.
Your specific orthodontic needs determine how long you will need to wear Invisalign aligners. In most cases, the usual treatment time with Invisalign is about 12 months. However, minor adjustments may need as little as six months. More complex cases may require more than 12 months. Following Dr. Gautham’s guidelines and wearing the aligners for 20 to 22 hours each day will help you get optimal results within the expected timeframe.
If you’re using Invisalign for teeth straightening, you can enjoy your favourite foods without limitations. Because clear aligners are removable, there aren’t any dietary restrictions as you would with traditional braces that prevent eating hard or sticky foods. Simply remove your aligners before you eat, then brush your teeth before putting them back in.Â
Invisalign aligners are removable, so you can do your regular brushing and flossing without having to maneuver around wires and brackets. Clean your aligners with regular rinsing and brush them gently with a soft toothbrush.Â
Invisalign can address orthodontic concerns like mild to moderate crowding and spacing, along with many bite problems. A consultation with Drs. Geeta Gautham or David Ma is necessary to assess whether Invisalign is a good fit for you. People with severe malocclusion may need to go with traditional braces.Â
