Addressing dental issues with Invisalign

Invisalign offers adults and teens in the San Marcos area a more convenient, faster, and more comfortable way to have the smile they want. Invisalign is ideal for several different orthodontic conditions and can improve both the function and appearance of the teeth. Clear aligners or trays gently put pressure on the teeth, causing gradual movement. The trays, unlike metal braces, can be removed before eating and daily brushing. The clear aligners are virtually undetectable and are often worn without others noticing. In most cases, Invisalign can provide the same orthodontic results as traditional braces, but without the appearance, discomfort, and hygiene challenges that can happen with metal braces.

How does Invisalign work?

For each patient, a series of customized aligner trays are created from digital impressions taken of the lower and upper arches. These individual Invisalign mouth trays are computer-generated and highly precise on the incremental pressure each will apply throughout treatment. Even though traditional orthodontics may still be the best option for some patients in the San Marcos area, Invisalign can help straighten teeth and correct specific orthodontic issues such as:

  • Overcrowded teeth
  • Gapped teeth
  • Misaligned or crooked teeth
  • Slight overbite, underbite, or crossbite

The benefits of Invisalign

Patients who don't treat certain orthodontic issues can incur more dental problems down the road. Correcting a bite alignment can improve how the teeth function and even allow individuals to chew their food more appropriately. Crooked or overcrowded teeth can be subject to more cavities, even wearing down individual teeth, which can then crack or break. TMJ treatment or tooth restoration may become necessary if specific orthodontic issues are left unresolved. Straight teeth are easier to floss, brush, and maintain, which allows patients better overall oral health. Invisalign treatments with an experienced, qualified cosmetic dentist like Dr. Allred can be an excellent option for aligning your teeth and getting the beautiful smile you deserve.

Invisalign 20 hours a day 

Twenty hours is the daily required minimum for Invisalign trays to be effective and efficient. It may seem like a lot, but in the end, you will be rewarded with a gorgeous smile. Even though Invisalign aligners need to be in place at least 20 hours a day, they still offer additional advantages as a more advanced option over orthodontics. The trays are easy to remove and clean. They are comfortable to wear and don't cause any soft tissue irritation on the inside of the mouth. There are also no dietary restrictions with Invisalign like with traditional braces. After treatment, patients have a reduced risk of gum disease or cavities, along with obtaining a well-balanced smile. After treatment has been completed, you will receive a retainer to wear at night to keep your new smile intact.
