3 Things to Ask Your Dentist Before Opting for Invisalign Treatment

Do you remember anyone saying that they love their crooked teeth? No, right! Nobody likes that. And most people don’t want to go into the trouble of wearing and maintaining metal braces either. What if there comes a teeth-rectifying treatment that uses invisible braces instead of the ugly metal ones! What’s more, you also need not worry about your looks or allergies while using them. Come let us have a look at this amazing creation known as Invisalign.

Invisalign is a range of transparent braces made from medical-grade thermoplastics. They are comfortable and easy-to-use. It is important to secure your teeth against the oral health issues arising from misalignment. Invisalign lets you do just that. And they are taking over the old metal braces as we speak of it. So, let us talk about the three most important things that you need to ask your dentist before opting for Invisalign.

Here are 3 things to ask your dentist:

1) Is Invisalign safe?

First things first, don’t let the word thermoplastics scare you. They are completely safe to use and made according to medical standards. The safety of your teeth is one of the biggest concerns for our dentists and orthodontists at Healthy Smiles. With each individual’s needs being different, every brace is made after measuring the exact position of individual teeth.

Reliable 3D image scanners are used for this measurement, so you don’t face any troubles after placing them. Keeping them inside your mouth won’t hurt. They are less likely to cause you allergies, unlike metal braces. Of course, you need to remove them while eating food like any other brace. Which takes us to the next question.

2) Are they removable?

Yes, they are easy to remove and put on. You can remove them while eating or cleaning teeth. The only thing to keep in mind is to clean your teeth before putting on the back. And, it is also easy to clean and care for these transparent braces because of their sleek design. Unlike metal braces, you won’t be tempted to delay the cleaning process as much as you can when using Invisalign.

You will be given a number of braces at the beginning of your treatment. You need not visit the dentist or orthodontist to replace any brace. As per your treatment plan, you can replace them after using for the prescribed number of weeks, on your own. Also, they give the best result when used for 20-22 hours a day.

3) Invisalign treatment duration?

The exact time required to correct the misalignment of teeth varies from person to person. Once you get in touch with our dentists at Healthy Smiles, you will be guided through the process with care. Our dentists will select a treatment plan based on the extent of misalignment of your teeth. Every single brace is supposed to be worn for one or two weeks to straighten a desired set of teeth.

Every brace will align a different part of your jaw step-by-step. The average duration of using Invisalign varies from a few weeks to months.
