What Does Invisalign Fix?
Whether you’ve received orthodontic treatment and are experiencing relapse, or you’ve never had braces, Invisalign may be right for you. This clear braces solution treats issues such as:
- Overcrowding
- Unwanted Gaps
- Crossbite
- Overbite
- Underbite
These issues can affect not only the appearance of your smile but your overall health as well. Crowded teeth are difficult to clean properly and can even be a challenge to floss effectively. A misaligned bite can create other issues, such as gum disease or TMJ disorder.
Benefits of Invisible Braces in Fullerton
Made to be nearly invisible, Invisalign provides discreet treatment, allowing you to continue with daily life and attend special events with confidence. Unlike metal braces, there are no diet restrictions. It’s essential to remove them before you eat or drink, but you are free to enjoy any of your favorite foods. We recommend cleaning your teeth and aligners after eating so that bacteria does not build up and cause problems.
With Invisalign, there is no need to alter to your at-home oral care routine -- simply remove the aligners before brushing and flossing.
Invisalign Treatment Process
We provide Invisalign clear braces to teens and adults looking for a convenient option to straighten their teeth.
We begin your treatment plan in-house by taking detailed images and impressions of your smile. Invisalign will customize your plan into a series of aligners you will switch out every two weeks until your treatment is complete. You will wear each set for 22 hours a day to gradually straighten your smile. Most treatments are finished in under a year, resulting in a beautiful smile that never goes out of style.
Comparing Traditional Braces to Clear Aligners
Invisalign clear aligners are virtually invisible where traditional braces consist of metal brackets, wires, and rubber bands, which stand out in the smile. Treatment with metal braces generally takes longer than Invisalign, but in complex cases, it may be necessary.
In addition to the fast and discreet way Invisalign straightens teeth, the clear and smooth design of the trays provides a comfortable fit. Many patients find this a significant improvement over bulky, often uncomfortable metal braces.
Are You a Candidate for Invisalign?
Dr. Talmood conducts a comprehensive evaluation during your first visit, clearly explaining his recommended course of treatment. Aligning your goals with Invisalign requires you to be consistent and compliant for optimal results. Additionally, wearing aligner trays requires diligent oral hygiene habits to avoid prolonged exposure to oral bacteria. Commitment to the process ensures you will experience the best benefits.
While Invisalign is highly effective, this treatment isn’t the perfect option for everyone. Those with more complicated misalignment, particularly around the molars, will achieve better results with traditional braces.
