Imagine straightening your smile without covering your teeth with metal brackets and wires. Imagine having a more attractive smile quickly and easily without excessive visits to the orthodontist for adjustments to guide wires. Imagine brushing and flossing your teeth without having to work around wires and brackets over the teeth.
Fortunately, you no longer have to “imagine” this scenario. Dr. Varvara Clark of Chalfont Dental Care in Chalfont, Pennsylvania, is proud to offer an orthodontic treatment that helps you achieve the smile you’ve always wanted while avoiding traditional braces. Instead, patients can ask us about the benefits of a clear aligner alternative, Invisalign, for teeth straightening.
Invisalign teeth straightening is considered a “clear aligner therapy” that helps patients straighten their bites and improve the appearance of their smile without the need for metal brackets and wires glued to the teeth. Instead, patients receive a series of transparent trays fabricated from digital impressions of their current smiles. These trays are worn in succession, with each requiring two weeks of wear before moving forward to the next one. Once patients have achieved their results, they use a retainer to maintain the alignment after treatment.
Invisalign treatment is often recommended for patients with mild to moderate misalignment of their bites. It can be an excellent solution for patients who want to avoid traditional metal appliances. The number of trays in a patient’s treatment process will vary depending on the realignment that needs to occur. Patients will wear each tray for at least 20 hours daily to achieve the desired results in the allotted time frame.
Once you have received your Invisalign trays from Dr. Varvara Clark, you need to know how to use them properly and care for them for the duration of your treatment. Here are some tips to help you make the most out of your Invisalign experience:
