How Do Invisalign Clear Braces Work?

Invisalign offers a clear, removable alternative to traditional braces. This treatment uses a series of clear, medical-grade aligners that shift your teeth into optimal position. Each set of aligners is custom-made to comfortably fit your mouth and exert gradual pressure on your teeth to straighten them.

Many adults prefer our Phoenix clear braces because of their clear, non-intrusive appearance as well as the fact that they are removable. The length of treatment will vary depending on your alignment issue, but most adults can enjoy a straighter smile in just 12-18 months.

Combining Comfort, Convenience, and Discretion

Invisalign is a great solution if you want to achieve straight, healthy teeth without calling attention to your orthodontic journey. Traditional braces can make cleaning your teeth a challenge as you navigate around the wires and brackets. You also have to be wary of foods that can stick to or damage your braces. Because Invisalign trays are removable, you can brush and floss your teeth normally and continue enjoying your favorite foods.

Invisalign clear trays have no complicated parts. The smooth plastic won't irritate the gums or soft tissue. Their extremely low visibility makes them virtually undetectable, and because they conform to your teeth, you'll often forget you're even wearing them.

Benefits of Straight Teeth

A straight, proportionate smile is beautiful to look at, but it also offers benefits beyond your appearance. If your teeth are crooked or misaligned, you know it can be difficult or impossible to clean them effectively. Ineffective oral hygiene puts you at risk of developing decay, gum disease, and enamel wear. Straighter teeth allow you to brush and floss more effectively, enjoying a cleaner, fresher smile.

Another benefit of straighter teeth is that it reduces wear on the teeth when they meet properly while biting and chewing. Moreover, an aligned bite also produces less stress on the jaw, reducing jaw pain. When you straighten your teeth with Phoenix Invisalign braces, you are also protecting your oral health.

Am I a Good Candidate for Invisalign?

Generally, Invisalign clear aligners are ideal for adults with mild to moderate cases of common orthodontic concerns. Our dentist will carefully evaluate your smile to determine whether Phoenix clear braces would be an effective orthodontic option for you. Our practice can use Invisalign to treat:

Gapped teeth
Crooked teeth
Crowded teeth
Overbites
Underbites

The Basic Steps of Invisalign Treatment

Phoenix Invisalign braces Once we determine you're a candidate for Invisalign, we will start developing a personalized treatment plan. We will use a digital scanner to create a precise, 3D scan of your teeth. With the model, we will map out a treatment plan, including how your teeth will be shifted and how long your treatment will be. This will also give you an opportunity to preview your new smile.

Our office will send the 3D model and treatment plan to the Invisalign lab, where your aligners will be custom-made using Invisalign proprietary SmartTrack® material. Once your aligners are shipped to our office, you'll come in to pick up the first series.

For the best results, you will need to wear your Invisalign clear aligners for at least 22 hours a day, only taking them out to eat, brush, and floss. Each aligner is worn for two weeks before moving on to the next in the series. In about two months, you'll stop by our Phoenix dental office to pick up your next set of aligners. Dr. Karale will also check your progress to make sure the orthodontic treatment is on track. Once your treatment is complete, you'll have a healthy, beautiful smile you'll be proud to show off.
