How Does Invisalign Work?
Invisalign clear aligners are virtually invisible thermoplastic trays that gradually and painlessly shift your teeth to the desired position. But precisely how does Invisalign work? When you begin treatment, an Invisalign dentist will create a 3D model of your teeth using advanced software, determine the position that your teeth should be in after treatment, and then send the scans to a lab. The scans are used to create a teeth straightening strategy that requires you to wear multiple clear aligners over time. Each aligner is worn for up to 2 weeks until the teeth shift to a new position, at which point a new aligner is prescribed to continue the treatment until the desired results are achieved.
The beauty of Invisalign treatment is that the trays are almost invisible, so they can be worn at home, work or even while out with friends. The aligners can be removed during meal times, cleaned easily and are significantly more comfortable and convenient than traditional metal braces. There’s no doubt that Invisalign results speak for themselves, however, if you’d like to know more, contact the team at The Dental Boutique today.
How to Care for Invisalign Aligners
Those familiar with traditional braces are well aware of the challenges that arise with regular cleaning and maintenance. However, if you’re wondering how to clean Invisalign effectively, the process is significantly easier!
- Rinse aligner trays using lukewarm water to wash away saliva and food particles.
- Clean the aligners using a soft bristled toothbrush with a smaller head so that it reaches the corners.
- A small amount of mild antibacterial liquid is enough to clean the aligners effectively. Avoid toothpaste since it can be abrasive and scratch the clear surface.
- For best Invisalign results, soak the aligners in Invisalign cleaning crystals daily for 15 minutes to keep them in good condition.
