Have you ever considered correcting the alignment of your teeth? Beyond the benefits to the appearance of your smile, there are many oral health benefits to orthodontic treatment. What’s more, we now offer modern techniques, such as Invisalign orthodontics, to discreetly correct teeth alignment.
In this article, your Brossard dental team explains the benefits of Invisalign orthodontics for our patients.
How does Invisalign orthodontics work?
Invisalign treatment is a modern orthodontic method used to straighten teeth without the use of traditional metal braces. Instead of metal braces and wires, Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, transparent aligners that are worn over the teeth. These aligners gradually move the teeth into the desired position.
The Invisalign treatment plan is based on digital impressions of the dentition, enabling us to predict the tooth movements that will occur and to design the aligners needed to achieve them. These aligners are manufactured by the Invisalign company and given to the patient. The patient wears them for about two weeks before moving on to the next aligners. Throughout the treatment, regular follow-ups with the dentist in charge enable us to monitor progress and make any necessary adjustments.
After 9 to 18 months, depending on the original alignment of the teeth, the result is a straighter smile and healthier teeth! If you’d like to find out more about Invisalign treatment and the orthodontic problems we can treat, visit this page on our website.
What are the concrete benefits?
- Transparent aligners: this makes Invisalign a very discreet treatment, particularly appreciated by teenagers and adults who are less inclined to wear visible braces.
- Removable aligners: because the aligners have to be removed for meals, there are no dietary restrictions to contend with. They are also removed as part of the dental hygiene routine at home, so there’s no need to change habits.
- More comfortable treatment: the aligners are made of smooth plastic. This means they have no metal parts that could injure the inside of the mouth. What’s more, the forces exerted on the teeth are lower than with braces, for example, reducing discomfort during treatment.
- Reduced treatment time: in many cases, the time needed to achieve optimal alignment is less with the Invisalign technique than with traditional orthodontic treatment.
- Highly predictable results: the aligners are designed using advanced computer technology to gradually move your teeth into the desired position. This precise planning ensures predictable, effective results.
Because Invisalign aligners are removable and virtually invisible, they have minimal impact on your lifestyle. You can carry on with your daily activities, social interactions and professional commitments, unhindered by your orthodontic treatment.
