What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that uses clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth. These aligners are custom-made for each patient and gradually shift the teeth into their desired positions. Invisalign is often chosen as an alternative to traditional metal braces because the aligners are nearly invisible and can be removed for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. The treatment typically involves a series of aligners that are changed every one to two weeks, with regular follow-up visits to the orthodontist to monitor progress. Invisalign is commonly used to treat a variety of dental issues, including overcrowding, gaps between teeth, and bite alignment problems.
How Does Invisalign Work?
The process starts with a detailed consultation and digital scans, which create a 3D image of your teeth. This digital treatment plan shows the anticipated position of your teeth at each stage of treatment. You swap out your aligner trays every one to two weeks; your teeth will progressively move with each set until they are in their final, straight position. Regular check-ins with your orthodontist ensure your treatment is on track and heading toward your desired flawless and beautiful smile.
How Long Does an Invisalign Treatment Usually Take?
The average length of Invisalign or (removable aligners) treatment varies from person to person. It depends on the complexity of the case, but it typically ranges between 12 and 18 months for adults. For teenagers, the duration can be comparable to traditional braces treatments and generally lasts around 9-15 months. However, it’s important to note that treatment times can be significantly shortened with strict patient compliance, meaning the aligners are worn for the recommended 20-22 hours per day.
How to Speed Up Invisalign Treatment
Use Invisalign Express
This innovative teeth alignment procedure is designed for minor crowding and gaps between teeth. It focuses on predictability and convenience, making it a much faster treatment option than traditional metal braces.
Consistent Wear
The key to fast-tracking your Invisalign or (removal aligner) treatment is patient compliance. The aligners should be worn for 20-22 hours each day, only removing them when eating and cleaning your teeth. Fewer hours per day can extend the treatment period and delay achieving that perfect smile.
Regular Appointments
Regular appointments with your orthodontist are essential. During these check-ups, your treatment progress is assessed, and necessary adjustments are made. Skipping appointments can slow down the treatment process, whether it’s switching to a new set of aligners or addressing any unexpected oral health impacts.
Use of Acceleration Devices
Advancements in technology have brought tools like vibration devices that can safely speed up tooth movement. By using these devices for a few minutes each day as part of your treatment, you can reduce the duration of treatment and achieve your beautifully aligned smile faster.
Good Oral Health
Practicing good oral hygiene can expedite your teeth straightening process. Keeping your teeth and aligners clean helps to avoid any dental issues that can delay treatment, such as tooth decay or gum disease. Regular brushing, flossing, and proper cleaning of aligners help maintain optimal patient comfort and health.
