Invisalign Clear Braces

In recent years, Invisalign clear aligners have become a popular choice for many individuals seeking orthodontic solutions. Known for their high aesthetics and flexibility, Invisalign allows wearers to communicate confidently and enjoy meals comfortably without concerns about traditional braces. So, what exactly is Invisalign, and is it more effective than traditional orthodontic methods? Let Platinum Dental guide you through the details in this article!

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign, also known as clear aligners, is a cutting-edge orthodontic solution that forgoes traditional brackets and wires. Instead, it utilizes a series of custom-made, clear aligner trays.

These trays are made from safe, biocompatible materials and are uniquely designed to fit each individual’s dental structure. Despite their simple appearance, Invisalign trays are a result of over 20 years of advanced research and technological innovation by Align Technology.

The proprietary material and technology used in Invisalign aligners ensure a snug fit to the teeth and gently guide their movement based on the orthodontist’s treatment plan. By the end of the process, patients achieve perfectly aligned teeth and an ideal bite.

Cases Where Clear Braces Are Recommended

Clear braces, such as Invisalign, are suitable for most age groups, from children to adults, and can help treat a variety of cases such as:

• Gaps between teeth, crooked teeth, crowded teeth, uneven teeth
• Overbite or underbite
• Reverse bite

Orthodontists at Platinum Dental are using the Invisalign method to effectively treat difficult cases that cannot be addressed with traditional metal braces. These are successful experiences that have been applied with great results.

In addition, Invisalign is also a perfect choice for people with metal allergies, those who want a naturally beautiful smile, and those who need to communicate often during treatment. Especially for busy individuals who have little time for frequent dental visits, Invisalign clear braces offer a great

Advantages of Invisalign Clear Braces

Invisalign clear braces have become highly popular and are widely chosen by many people to improve their smiles due to the following outstanding benefits:

• Less Pain: This method gently applies pressure to the teeth, reducing discomfort and avoiding any damage to the oral cavity.
• Aesthetic Appeal: With its transparent design that fits closely to the dental arch, the Invisalign tray makes it hard for others to notice, helping you feel more confident when communicating. You can wear it daily with peace of mind.
• Easy to Remove and Clean: Invisalign trays are easy to take out when eating or cleaning your teeth. This offers a more comfortable orthodontic experience. You can enjoy any food without the need to cut it into small pieces or worry about damaging your braces.
• Safe Materials: The Invisalign trays are made from high-quality bio-plastic, ensuring complete safety and reliability.
• Shorter Treatment Time: Since there are no brackets or wires, issues like falling brackets, loose wires, or snapped elastics are almost nonexistent with Invisalign. This allows for longer intervals between check-ups, typically every 1-2 months. Additionally, with advanced technology, the pressure applied by each Invisalign tray is tailored to each treatment stage and the individual’s bone structure, speeding up the tooth movement process.
• Better Oral Health Protection: Invisalign has more advantages than traditional braces, particularly in maintaining better oral hygiene. Without wires or brackets, you can easily remove the tray to clean your teeth and the tray itself, helping to keep your teeth healthy and preventing issues like cavities or gum disease.
• Preview Results with Clincheck: Your dentist and Align Technology technicians will collaborate to plan your teeth movement using your dental scans. With the support of Clincheck software, you can easily see how many trays will be required and track your teeth’s progress throughout treatment. You can also get an overview of your journey and the final outcome of your smile.

International Standard Invisalign Treatment Process at Platinum Dental

Step 1: General Examination
First, X-rays and photos of your teeth will be taken. The dentist will then conduct a direct examination and provide a detailed assessment of your dental condition. Based on this, the dentist will create a suitable treatment plan for you.

Step 2: 3D Digital Dental Scan
Platinum Dental uses the Trios 3D digital scanner, which features a compact scanning head to accurately and vividly capture the condition of your teeth in a visual format.
The scan images of your teeth will be sent directly to the company, so the dentist can study them and develop a detailed treatment plan. The dentist will work with technicians from Align Technology and use the Clincheck software to simulate the treatment plan for you.

Step 3: Treatment Planning with Clincheck
About one month later, once your Clincheck is complete, the dentist will schedule an appointment to discuss the treatment plan. You will be able to see the process of teeth movement and the number of trays required.

Step 4: Tray Design
The information gathered from the scanning process will be used to create a set of Invisalign trays tailored for each stage of the treatment.

Step 5: Wearing the Trays
The trays will be designed and manufactured, then provided to the patient along with instructions on how to wear and remove them. If needed, additional orthodontic appliances may be added.

Step 6: Regular Check-ups
Patients will have regular follow-up appointments to monitor progress and make any necessary adjustments to the braces.

Step 7: Evaluation of Results
Once the treatment is completed, the dentist will assess the results and determine whether it’s necessary to continue wearing a retainer to maintain the new position of the teeth.

Notes for Invisalign Clear Braces Treatment
To ensure your Invisalign treatment is effective and efficient, keep the following in mind:

• Wear the trays regularly: To achieve the best results, you need to wear your Invisalign trays for at least 22 hours per day. Failure to follow this guideline may extend the treatment time or prevent optimal results.
• Follow the orthodontic schedule: During your treatment, you will need to change your Invisalign trays regularly. Be sure to stick to the treatment plan and attend scheduled check-ups with your dentist.
• Wear the trays at night: Always wear the trays for at least 22 hours per day. If you miss wearing them at night, you may not comply with the rules, affecting your treatment progress.
• Store the trays in the case: When you remove the trays, store them in the provided case to keep them clean and protect them from bacteria that could harm your teeth and gums when re-worn.
• Regularly clean your trays and maintain oral hygiene: To keep your mouth clean and avoid dental issues, make sure to clean your trays and brush your teeth frequently. Brush after meals and floss to ensure optimal hygiene.
• Do not use toothpaste to clean Invisalign trays: Toothpaste can scratch the trays and diminish their orthodontic effects. Instead, use specialized cleaning products or rinse the trays with clean water.
• Wear retainers after treatment: Wearing a retainer helps stabilize your teeth and maintain the results of your treatment for the long term. This is an essential part of care for the best outcome.
