How Does Invisalign Work?

Invisalign treatment utilizes a number of trays that put a small amount of pressure on your teeth. Wearing these trays for a set amount of time each day (20 to 22 hours at minimum) will help your teeth gradually move to where they’re supposed to be. Invisalign trays are made out of transparent plastic, so you can wear them in front of others without having to worry about how they might affect your appearance. Also, you can take your trays out of your mouth so that they don’t get in the way during meals.

Who Can Invisalign Help?

Even if you are struggling with more considerable overcrowding, you may not be willing to commit to 2+ years of wearing metal braces. Fortunately, that’s where Invisalign comes in! The custom, clear, and convenient aligners can help patients with all kinds of orthodontic problems, including:

Crowded Teeth

Do your teeth overlap? If so, then you know first-hand how easy it is for food particles, plaque, and other debris to get trapped between them. That’s one of the reasons we recommend exploring your orthodontic treatment options, like Invisalign! If you’re a good candidate, then your cosmetic dentist in Morristown can gently move your teeth into their ideal places.

Gaps Between Teeth

Many patients are dealing with the opposite problem: they struggle to smile confidently due to noticeable gaps between their teeth. If that’s the case for you, then take the next step: schedule an appointment with our team at Skyline Dental! That way, we can assess the severity of your case and, if you’re a good candidate for Invisalign, begin working on your custom treatment plan.

Overbite

Although your upper teeth should sit in front of your lower ones, a multitude of issues can arise if they jut out significantly. In fact, even relatively mild overbites can make it difficult to enunciate clearly. Fortunately, Invisalign can fix overbites. So, don’t just assume that the only solution is metal braces. If you’re a candidate for clear aligners, then the treatment process will be virtually undetectable.

Underbite

When you bite down, do your lower teeth sit in front of your upper ones? If so, you may have an underbite, which is an orthodontic problem that can lead to low self-esteem, premature wear, and chronic jaw pain. If your case isn’t too severe, then there’s a good chance that we can create a healthier bite with clear aligners that won’t draw any unwanted attention to your smile.

Crossbite

What if only a few of your upper teeth sit behind your lower ones when you bite down? If that’s the case, then you may have a crossbite. Although this bite problem often isn’t as talked about, it can still lead to several problems, including premature wear and tear on your teeth. So, don’t take the “wait and see” approach; give us a call to schedule an Invisalign consultation.

Open Bite

If there is a space between your upper and lower teeth that prevents you from biting down all the way, then you may have an open bite. Although traditional braces are still a solution, many patients opt for Invisalign when given the choice. After all, the aligners aren’t just clear, they are also removable, easy to care for, and often deliver results in just 12-18 months!
