How Does Invisalign Work?
Using custom-made, clear, plastic aligners, Invisalign allows patients to straighten their teeth discreetly and with more flexibility than traditional metal braces. During your initial consultation, your dentist in Ankara will examine your smile and discuss your goals with Invisalign. Taking impressions of your smile, they will determine each step of your treatment before sending them off to the dental lab. There, technicians will construct your clear Invisalign aligners.
After a few weeks, you’ll return to our dental office where you will receive your new braces. You can expect to receive detailed instructions on how to wear them, how long, and what to do to keep them clean. If you want a successful experience with no delays, you must commit to wearing your aligners for 20-22 hours each day. The only time you will take out your trays is when you are eating, drinking, or cleaning them.
Every two weeks, unless otherwise instructed by one of our dentists, you will switch out your aligners for the next set in the series. You can expect to feel a minimal amount of discomfort for a few days. This is because your teeth are gently shifting in the desired direction. Taking an over-the-counter pain reliever can help to alleviate some of the discomfort.
Most patients can expect to be done with Invisalign treatment between 12 and 18 months. It just depends on the severity of the problem as to how long you’ll need to wear your clear braces. Once you’re finished with treatment, it will be necessary for you to wear a retainer to keep your teeth from shifting back into their original location.
Who Can Invisalign Help?
Invisalign is the perfect solution for those seeking a straight and natural-looking smile without the hassle of traditional braces. But who can benefit from Invisalign treatment, and what kinds of issues can it treat? If you need answers, continue reading below. You’ll find everything you need to know about how Invisalign from Ankara Eot Clinic can help you discreetly achieve an incredible smile and potentially help you find relief from various bite issues.
Crowded Teeth
As you grow older, your teeth will continually shift to accommodate changes in your oral structure such as the appearance of wisdom teeth. This shift can cause your teeth to twist and overlap with one another. Invisalign can treat this crowding effect, restoring your ability to clean between your teeth and chew your food with comfort.
Gaps Between Teeth
Tooth shifting can also occur as a result of tooth loss or undeveloped bone in the jaw. This often leads to gaps between your teeth which can make them more vulnerable to chipping and erosion. Invisalign can pull your pearly whites closer together, eliminating these gaps. This closes off potential food traps that can allow plaque and excess bacteria to build up and cause decay or gum disease.
Overbite
An overbite occurs when your top teeth overlap your bottom ones significantly. Over time this can cause jaw pain, speech issues, and uneven wear on your teeth and even difficulties opening or closing your mouth. With the help of Invisalign combined with SmartForce attachments like buttons and elastics, the clear aligners can gently pull your jaw into an even alignment again.
Underbite
Genetics, oral trauma, and various oral habits can lead to an underbite where your bottom teeth stick out past your top ones. If left untreated, this can lead to a higher risk of sleep apnea, sinus issues, and difficulties with speech. Invisalign can gradually realign your jaw and pull your top teeth into a more desirable position, eliminating these issues.
Crossbite
You may have a crossbite when your teeth don’t align properly or overlap in specific ways while your mouth is closed. This bite issue can cause receding gums, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, and even loose teeth. Invisalign in conjunction with attachments and possibly other treatments can effectively correct cross bite and restore your smile.
Open Bite
With an open bite, even when your mouth is closed, your teeth can’t overlap or touch, especially in the front of your mouth. Open bites usually spring from childhood habits like thumb sucking and often make it difficult to eat, speak, or maintain a healthy smile due to dental damage. Invisalign aligners can help bring the front teeth back together, reducing the risk of enamel wear and preventing further damage to your teeth.
