Invisalign and Teeth Straightening Q & A
Invisalign is a popular option for patients looking for a discreet way to straighten their teeth. The clear aligners are practically invisible, and they can be removed for eating and brushing. However, Invisalign is not right for everyone. If you have more complex dental issues, traditional braces may be a better option. But, for most patients, Invisalign is a great choice.
You will initially come in for a consultation and to have your teeth scanned and 3D imaged. At Cupertino Dental Group, we have the Itero 3D scanner right here on site, so no need to travel to a second office.
Once your teeth are scanned, Invisalign and your dentist work to develop a treatment plan to get your smile perfect. Then, Invisalign molds the alignment trays and sends them to your dentist, who will take you through the rest of the process.
If Invisalign is not the right choice for you, traditional braces may be a better option. Traditional braces are less expensive and can be more effective for complex dental issues.
Invisalign is a great choice for patients who are looking to straighten their teeth without the conspicuousness of metal braces. Invisalign is also a good choice for patients who are willing to be diligent in wearing their aligners and taking care of them.
Some patients find that Invisalign is not as comfortable as traditional braces. Additionally, because the aligners are removable, some patients find it difficult to keep them in for the recommended 22 hours per day. If you are not diligent in wearing your aligners or taking care of them, treatment may take longer.
Yes, you can still eat your favorite foods while wearing Invisalign. However, you will need to take out the retainers before eating and brush your teeth afterward.
