Align your smile discreetly with Invisalign orthodontic treatment

This is a common scenario: as a child, you wore metal braces to align your teeth. Down the road, you had to wear a retainer to preserve the alignment. However, you stopped wearing retainers at some point because you thought your teeth were perfectly lined up. Unfortunately, in your 30s or 40s, you start to notice your teeth are shifting out of alignment.

Has this happened to you? If you are nodding in agreement, you might have wondered whether you should start wearing braces again. The good news is that you can align your teeth without having to use traditional metal braces. At John L. Aurelia, D.D.S. PLLC, we offer Invisalign clear aligners to straighten your smile discreetly.

How does Invisalign treatment work?

Because Invisalign treatment doesn’t bear any features of traditional braces, they can be a mystery to many patients interested in this orthodontic treatment. So how does it work?

After Dr. John Aurelia determines you are a perfect candidate for Invisalign, the next step involves taking a computer-aided 3D impression of your teeth. Once the images are taken, we send them to a dental lab, where a series of aligner trays are fashioned.

Once your custom-made trays are ready, you will need to wear a set every two weeks, after which you will swap for a new set that moves your teeth closer into proper alignment. If you want to shorten your treatment period, you must wear your aligners at all times and only remove them when eating or cleaning them. Typically, Invisalign treatment takes about 12 to 18 months, but you can start seeing results after a few weeks!

Benefits of Invisalign treatment

Wondering why clear aligners are gaining popularity among adults? It’s because Invisalign treatment yields the below unique benefits:

• Discreet: Until you let someone know you are wearing clear aligners, they won’t have the slightest hint when talking to you.
• Convenient: Since Invisalign trays are removable, unlike traditional braces, you can eat or clean your teeth effectively without restrictions from wires and brackets.
• Effective: Clear aligners are 50% more effective than traditional braces for certain bite and alignment corrections.
