Reviews
Who Is a Good Candidate for Invisalign Aligners?
A variety of factors can affect the alignment of your teeth, including childhood thumb-sucking, the loss of a tooth or teeth, or traumatic injury to your lower face. Misaligned teeth may cause other oral health problems, such as a bad bite (dental malocclusion), ground-down enamel, difficulty chewing and speaking, as well as toothaches and TMD (temporomandibular joint dysfunction). If your MINT dentist notices early signs of one of these issues during your annual exam, we may suggest Invisalign clear aligners treatment.
Invisalign treatment can be good for teens and adults in Morrow, GA who would like to improve their smile without the hassle and appearance of traditional braces. Even though Invisalign aligners do need to be worn at least 20 hours a day, they can be removed so you can brush your teeth and eat, plus for playing sports and special events. More discreet than metal braces, other people usually will not be able to tell that you're wearing your aligners.
How Does Invisalign Work?
Your MINT dentistry team will take digital x-rays of your mouth during your initial consultation, and your first Invisalign trays will be created using digital images. When they are ready, you will come back to get your first aligners and specific care instructions from your dentist. You need to wear your aligners for at least 20 – 22 hours each day for the treatment to work, ideally only taking them out to brush your teeth and eat. Over time, you will switch to the next set of aligners as they gently move your teeth into their proper position. You should plan to attend appointments every 4 – 6 weeks so our Invisalign provider can monitor your tooth movement and you can have more digital impressions taken so new sets of aligners can be made. The length of time that you will need to wear your aligners will vary based on your starting bite and your specific goals, but most patients undergo Invisalign treatment for about 12 months.
What Happens After Invisalign Treatment?
Once your bite is aligned and you have finished your Invisalign treatment, you will need a retainer to keep your teeth in their new position. Invisalign Vivera® retainers are designed with the same comfortable materials as the aligner trays to help keep your teeth in place after your treatment is complete. Each retainer will be specially made for you at the Invisalign dental lab from digital impressions taken at our office. Your Invisalign provider will tell you when to wear your retainer and provide instructions for care after it is shipped to our MINT dentistry practice in Morrow, GA. Your dentist will continuously monitor your teeth alignment and bite during your annual dental examinations to make sure your teeth don't move.
