For years, your only option was traditional braces. These metal bracket and wire orthodontics can be uncomfortable and unsightly. Thankfully, Invisalign in Chesterfield offers a way to straighten your teeth in the most comfortable and discreet way possible. But what is Invisalign and how does it straighten your teeth? Keep reading to learn the answers as well as some other frequently asked questions about this aligning treatment.\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n<h2>What is Invisalign Treatment?<\/h2>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.yenzerdental.com\/invisalign-clear-braces.html\">Invisalign treatment<\/a> uses a series of clear plastic aligning trays to gradually shift your teeth into position. This thin, clear, flexible plastic snugly fits over your teeth, making it almost invisible to the public.\r\n\r\nYour dentist will create a treatment plan that is specific to your smile, which digitally maps out how your teeth will shift to achieve a straight set of teeth. Then, your clear aligners will be made to apply the perfect amount of force to keep your smile comfortable while shifting your teeth.\r\n<h2>What Makes Me a Candidate for Invisalign Treatment?<\/h2>\r\nInvisalign works best for those with minor to moderate alignment issues. Any problems with your bite will have to be addressed with traditional braces. Additionally, Invisalign treatment is typically used for adults and older teens because they require responsibility and commitment. Because they\u2019re removeable, patients have to be dedicated to wearing them correctly, whereas braces are permanently fixed to the smile.\r\n<h2>What is the Treatment Process Like?<\/h2>\r\nOnce your aligners are made, you\u2019ll wear them for 20 to 22 hours a day. Each aligner should be worn for 1 to 2 weeks, depending on the recommendation from your dentist. Each aligner is designed slightly different to slowly shift your teeth into place, which is why it\u2019s important to switch them out as directed. Typically, this process takes 12 to 18 months, which tends to be faster than traditional braces.\r\n<h2>How Will Invisalign Treatment Affect My Everyday Life?<\/h2>\r\nThe best part of Invisalign treatment is that the aligners are removeable. Because of this. The only way this treatment will affect your everyday life is that you have to wear them for 20 to 22 hours a day. This means you can eat all of your favorite foods and still go about your social and professional lives without any self-consciousness about the look of your smile.\r\n<h2>How Do I Take Care of My Aligners?<\/h2>\r\nThe best way to clean your aligners is using the Invisalign Cleaning System or a toothbrush and nonabrasive toothpaste. Just be sure not to use hot water because it could warp the aligner. Also, it\u2019s important to clean your teeth after eating and before putting your aligning trays in to prevent food debris and bacteria from staining your aligner.\r\n\r\nNow that you know the answers to some common questions about Invisalign treatment, does it sound right for you?
