Category: Aligners

In some cases there may be too much crowding in your teeth and you may have to have a tooth removed. Also, in some complex cases you could have baby teeth that need to be removed or other unusual cases.

Yes, the dentists will check on your progress and will give you additional sets of aligners about once a month or two. Its up to the dentist. If there is a problem with the alignment process the dentist can make changes and replace your aligners if needed. 

The aligners are custom made to slowly move your teeth from their current position to a final position to make them straight and give you a great smile. The aligners are a kind of medically approved plastic and are worn over your teeth all the time while you are not eating or drinking, ideally 22 hours or more per day. They are changed usually every two weeks but this time can vary depending on your specific case. When the final set has been completed you will have to wear a retainer at night during sleep to maintain the positioning. The aligners are clear and almost impossible to see but they may slightly modify your speech.

You can drink cool or warm water but not hot water or it could affect the aligner. The aligners can be brushed with a toothbrush on the inside and out to keep them clean and fresh. They will come with a carrying case to conveniently carry the aligners and install/remove as needed. The aligners are easy to install and remove after some practice. The dentist should show you how to do that. 

You should know that many times the reason that teeth are not straight is because they are a little too big to fit in the space provided by your jaw. The alignment process may involve slightly modifying the width of one or more teeth. This will allow the teeth to align neatly in the allotted space. The dentist may also have to attach small knobs onto your teeth so the plastic aligners can grab the tooth and pull it correctly. These small attachment points are clear invisible plastic and will be removed later.

Invisalign is the original pioneer of clear plastic aligners. Clear plastic aligners are a really cool way to align your crooked teeth by slowing moving them into the right position. The aligners come in many sets and move your teeth from the original position to the final position. It usually takes about a year or more to move your teeth slowly and safely to the final position.

About every two weeks you will change to a new set of aligners. Your dentist will probably give you several weeks worth of aligners before you have to stop at the office for a check up and receive more aligners.

Invisalign was the original pioneer in aligners buy there are other brands available now such as Angel Align and SOV.
