How Does Invisalign Work?

Invisalign uses a system of clear plastic aligners that are customized to snuggly fit over your teeth to shift them into their ideal positions. Each time you switch to the next set of aligners in your series, they’ll place a targeted amount of pressure on certain areas to smooth out crowding, misalignment, gaps, and even minor bite problems. Once you’re finished, you’ll have beautiful and straightened teeth that make you feel proud to smile.

What is the Invisalign Process?

To begin your Invisalign treatment, you’ll schedule a consultation with Dr. Johnson. During your visit, he’ll conduct a visual examination of your mouth and capture several photos of your oral structure. Using all of the information he has gathered, he’ll be able to determine if you’re a good candidate for the procedure and develop a detailed treatment timeline so you know exactly what to expect throughout the process.

After sending off the information we’ve gathered to our Invisalign laboratory to craft your customized aligners, we’ll receive them at our office and call you in to pick up your first set. We’ll teach you how to clean them, put them in, and maintain them before sending you on your way. Every six to eight weeks, depending on your needs, you’ll visit our office for a quick progress check and to pick up your new set of trays until you’ve completed your treatment.

What are the Benefits of Invisalign?

Invisalign in Midlothian is such a popular orthodontic treatment option because it offers a large range of benefits that traditional braces don’t, including:

Discretion: Each aligner is made from a clear plastic that is practically unnoticeable. This makes it difficult for onlookers to notice that you’re even undergoing orthodontic treatment, allowing you to smile with confidence, even while you’re wearing them.
Comfort: Metal brackets and wires poke and prod at your oral tissues and gums, making your treatment uncomfortable and even painful to endure. Because Invisalign aligners are smooth and customized to comfortably fit in your mouth, you won’t have to deal with this major daily inconvenience.
Removable Convenience: Because your Invisalign trays are removable, you can eat all of your favorite foods and brush and floss more easily.
Easy Follow-Up Visits: While you’re going through your treatment, you won’t have to worry about it taking over your free-time. Typically, we only call patients in every four to six weeks for a quick visit that only lasts for 30-minutes or less.

Clear braces are a life-changing orthodontic treatment that allows you to enjoy all the benefits that traditional braces have to offer without suffering from uncomfortable metal. If you’d like to start your journey towards a beautiful and healthy smile, the first step is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Johnson today by contacting our office.
