There are many orthodontic treatments available today. Riverstone Dental Care in Post Falls and Coeur d’Alene offers our patients several choices for straightening teeth. One of the most popular options is Invisalign® clear aligner therapy! It provides both adults and teens a discreet way to straighten their teeth. Keep reading to learn more about Invisalign!
What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign uses clear, plastic aligner trays to straighten teeth in one to two week increments. After a few weeks, patients will put on a new set of aligner trays in the series until they have completed all of their trays. Invisalign uses gentle force and slowly pushes teeth into their desired positions through each new aligner tray. One of the many reasons Invisalign is so popular is that most people won’t even notice patients are wearing the aligners. They are transparent and are specifically designed to contour around the gums, so they blend in seamlessly over teeth.
Invisalign Timeline
Just like any orthodontic treatment, every case and person is different, so treatment times vary. On average, patients spend anywhere from six months to two years straightening their teeth with Invisalign depending on the severity of their case and how often they wear their aligner trays. The more strict you are about wearing your aligners, the better your chances are of completing treatment faster.
Benefits of Invisalign
In addition to providing a nearly invisible teeth straightening solution, Invisalign has many other benefits.
Fewer dental appointments
Lower risk of developing cavities compared to traditional braces
Removable aligner trays for eating and brushing teeth
Soft plastic aligners that won’t agitate or injure the cheeks and gums
