Misaligned teeth and bite issues are not only unsightly, but they also cause wear and tear on natural adult teeth. Wearing of the teeth or shifting teeth can occur with improper bite alignment, and individuals who have spaces and turned teeth in their smiles may feel self-conscious about their appearance. With treatments such as Invisalign, patients can straighten their teeth and improve their bite without using metal brackets and wires. Dr. Nima Afzalian of My Dental and Implants, serving Goodyear, Arizona, can educate you on the use of Invisalign and the many benefits this treatment provides.
How does the Invisalign process work?
Invisalign is best for patients with mild to moderate bite misalignment. During a consultation visit with Dr. Nima Afzalian, patients can determine if they are proper candidates for these invisible teeth aligners. The process starts with taking digital impressions of the teeth, which are sent to a laboratory to create a series of trays that move teeth to their correct alignment. Patients wear each tray over their teeth for at least 20 hours daily and switch trays every two weeks. By the time they reach the end of treatment, their teeth are realigned, and they can show off their new smiles!
What are the advantages of this teeth straightening treatment?
Our patients often choose Invisalign because it offers many advantages compared to a more traditional teeth realignment, including conventional braces. Invisalign:
- Uses clear, “invisible” trays to gently move the teeth into proper positioning
- Is comfortable thanks to the smooth, precise fit of the realignment trays
- Allows patients to maintain oral health as trays are removable for brushing and flossing
- Requires patients to comply with treatment to avoid delays or complications
- Is comfortable, eliminating metal appliances that can scratch, poke, and irritate the smile
