How do Invisalign® and OrthoFX® work?
As Invisalign® and OrthoFX® dentists, Dr. Rajul Patel and Dr. Romi Patel straighten teeth using a series of aligners. The first thing we do is take an impression of your teeth to create a series of aligners in a dental lab. The thermoplastic material used in the aligners is durable and flexible to be comfortable when worn for a long time. The material is virtually invisible.
As with most clear aligner programs, you should typically wear the aligners for 22 hours a day. Then, the current aligner will need to be replaced every two weeks with the next one in the series. Over time, the aligners will gradually move teeth into place over several months, making one slight adjustment that targets specific teeth. This will help your teeth to be comfortable as they move at a manageable pace. Once the process is completed, the final result will be straighter teeth and the perfect smile you’ve always dreamed of having.
What are the benefits of clear aligners?
- Because of how convenient it is, patients in California prefer wearing Invisalign®.
- Aligners are clear, so it is difficult for anyone to tell you are straightening your teeth.
- Patients wear the aligners for 22 hours a day. This allows for plenty of time each day to eat dinner or remove for special events.
- The brushing and flossing process does not change, and no additional tools are needed.
- The risk that your teeth will become stained is much less than with metal braces that can be difficult to clean.
- The procedure is much more comfortable than metal braces because aligners move teeth into place slowly, focusing on just a few teeth at a time.
- Clear aligners are very easy to maintain, and you typically only use the same aligner for a couple of weeks.
How do I care for clear aligners?
What are clear aligner attachments?
Some people need to have their teeth moved into place with ridges or attachments. An attachment is a clear bump made of an enamel-colored composite and secured to the teeth. There will be bumps on your aligner to hold it in place. Ridges work in the same manner. Instead of a raised bump, an indent is created. This is required for more complicated cases to ensure that a particular tooth or several teeth move into place as intended.
