Invisalign Dentist Brampton

1. What is Orthodontics?

Orthodontics is the art of perfecting your smile by straightening misaligned teeth. With a set of properly aligned teeth, your teeth are not just easier to maintain; the straightened teeth can help with speech impediments as well! 

In addition, ortho patients will often experience increased self-esteem because their aesthetically pleasing appearance will shine through in all aspects:

• Chewing food properly.
• Speaking clearly
• A bright smile brings social benefits, like having more confidence when meeting new people. 

Suppose you have misaligned or crooked teeth. Don’t worry; there is a new way of making your smile look perfect again without wearing uncomfortable and sometimes visually distracting braces. This method is Invisalign!

2. What’s Invisalign?

Invisible, clear aligners that have been around for almost 25 years. They’re proven to be an effective way of straightening misaligned teeth and correcting several dental issues; patients wear a series of plastic trays that gently move their teeth into optimal positions over time – this process takes 8-12 months on average depending on the case.

3. Who Should Get Invisalign?

Bottom line, almost everyone is a candidate for Invisalign. 99% of cases that can be done with braces can now also be done with Invisalign. Invisalign can help correct crowding, close gaps, fix cross bites, widen your arches and correct a deep bite or an open bite. It can do it all. It can even be used in tandem with jaw surgery cases. And the technology gets better every day. Invisalign is even an option for children but compliance often becomes an issue so traditional braces may be a better choice, depending on the child.

You may be a good candidate for Invisalign if you have one of these conditions:

• Overbite
• Underbite
• Crossbite
• Gap teeth
• Open bite
• Crowded teeth

4. Can adults benefit from Invisalign treatment?

While children and teens tend to be thought of as the primary beneficiaries of orthodontic treatment, you would be surprised to learn that many orthodontic patients are adults. And it’s not just because they didn’t get braces as a kid!

Invisalign may help children who have concerns with crowding teeth, overbites, underbites, and open bites. But did you know that Invisalign treatment at 905 Dental can also give you the smile you always wanted as an adult? 

If gaps, overlaps, or misalignment have marred your smile, clear Invisalign aligners can help — no matter your age.

5. What Is Involved With Wearing Invisalign Braces?

Invisalign is an excellent choice for straightening teeth. In the first step, you will receive a 3D rendering of your mouth and jaw from your Invisalign dentist. Next, your dentist will create a personalized plan designed to realign your teeth slowly. 

The Invisalign clear aligners work through a step-by-step process of applying gentle pressure on your teeth, causing your teeth to shift into place gradually. With Invisalign aligners, after a while, patients can sometimes even forget that they’re wearing aligners in their mouth!

Each case of Invisalign treatment is different, though patients will generally move to a new set of aligners every week.

Made from a plastic material called SmartTrack, these invisible braces are comfortable and virtually invisible. So generally, no one can tell you are wearing them – including coworkers or classmates. 

6. What Are the Benefits of Invisalign Treatment?

– Invisalign is excellent for shortening treatment time.

– Effective at treating spacing issues such as crowding or bite problems.

– Are affordable – broadly similar in cost to metal braces.

– They can be taken off for eating and drinking.

– They can be taken off for brushing and flossing.

– You can still eat whatever you wish to eat while undergoing this process!

– Generally need fewer dental office visits to complete treatment than metal braces.

7. What Is the Cost of Invisalign Treatment?

Invisalign treatment is much more affordable than traditional braces. However, the cost depends upon your specific treatment requirement. Costs are based on the current ODA fee guide. Your Invisalign dentist will be able to give you a more precise estimate upon completion of your consult with them.

8. When may Invisalign not be the right treatment?

Invisalign treatment requires compliance. These aligners need to be worn for 20-22 hours daily. Therefore, while this is generally not an issue, for someone with erratic compliance issues, Invisalign may not be the best treatment option.  

Similarly, because Invisalign braces are removable, people who frequently lose things or have a hard time remembering when they left their things, these clear braces might not be the right fit!

9. How long does Invisalign treatment take?

Your Invisalign treatment time will depend on the plan made just for you by Dr. Sam Schlesinger at 905 Dental. Most patients wear the aligners for 8-12 months, but more complex cases could take a little longer. 

Generally speaking, though – Invisalign treatment duration is broadly similar and, on some occasions, shorter than that of metal braces.  

10. Do I have to wear a retainer forever after Invisalign?

When your treatment is complete, and you can get rid of those Invisalign aligners, it’s important to continue wearing an orthodontic retainer for as long as you want to keep your teeth straight and stable.
