- Have a full dental check-up. Before starting treatment, it is important to make sure that your teeth and gums are healthy. All cavities should be treated and your gums should be in good condition, as this will ensure the successful completion of the treatment.
- Have your teeth professionally cleaned. Before installing aligners, it is recommended to have your mouth professionally cleaned to remove plaque and tartar, which will prevent cavities from occurring during treatment.
- Prepare for long-term wear of the aligners. To achieve maximum effect, Invisalign aligners must be worn for at least 20-22 hours a day. It is important to understand in advance the need to follow this rule for the treatment to be successful.
- Change your oral hygiene habits. After each meal, you need to brush your teeth and aligners to prevent plaque accumulation. Prepare the necessary hygiene products (brushes, pastes, floss, etc.) and learn how to properly care for the aligners.
- Schedule regular visits to your orthodontist. To monitor the progress of your treatment and replace your aligners in a timely manner, you should visit your orthodontist regularly. These visits help track your progress and adjust your treatment plan if necessary.
The longer you wait to correct your bite, the more existing problems can worsen. For example, crowding of teeth can become more severe, making them more difficult to clean and increasing the risk of cavities. What’s more, a bad bite can eventually cause jaw joint problems, such as pain and clicking.
When teeth are positioned incorrectly, it can make it difficult to pronounce certain sounds correctly. This is especially true for people whose profession involves communication or public speaking. Delaying correction can worsen diction and affect communication.
The longer bite problems go untreated, the more difficult treatment may become in the future. Crooked teeth may eventually require more complex and expensive correction methods. Early treatment with aligners can prevent the need for more complex interventions and reduce costs.
Invisalign aligners are clear trays that are custom-made for each patient based on a 3D scan of the teeth. Each tray gradually moves the teeth into the desired position by applying gentle pressure.
The patient wears one tray for about 1-2 weeks, then switches to the next one until the teeth are in the correct position. The aligners are almost invisible on the teeth and can be removed for eating and oral hygiene.
The duration of treatment with Invisalign aligners varies depending on the degree of crookedness of the teeth and other factors. On average, the process takes from 6 to 18 months.
The time frame may be shorter or longer depending on the complexity of the case, how regularly the aligners are worn, and whether the orthodontist’s recommendations are followed.
Wearing Invisalign aligners does not cause acute pain, however, during the first days of using each new tray, you may feel slight discomfort or pressure on your teeth. This is a natural process, as your teeth begin to move under the influence of the trays. These sensations usually go away after a few days.
One of the main advantages of Invisalign is the absence of strict dietary restrictions. The aligners can be removed before meals, allowing you to eat any food. However, it is important to brush your teeth and aligners after meals to prevent bacteria and stains from accumulating on the trays.
