Invisalign

Braces are a great option if you want to transform your smile this year to improve your confidence. Braces allow you to reshape your smile and straighten your teeth to enable you to have the most stunning set of pearly whites. When considering the type of braces you could have installed in your mouth, the main concern for many is visibility in the mouth, particularly for adults. This is why we offer an alternative treatment called Invisalign.

Invisalign is a treatment that can be carried out on your teeth to fix several problems. It is a type of brace that is made to allow the user to transform their smile a little more discreetly than a traditional train track brace. 

Invisalign braces are almost invisible, hence the name, and they are also removable, which sets them apart from other forms of braces offered by most dentists. Invisalign treatment allows you to discreetly and comfortably transform your smile with virtually invisible, removable braces.

Invisalign braces are completely transparent and are made custom to your mouth to help gradually straighten your teeth and ensure that they are healthy and strong. The main benefit of Invisalign is that they don’t contain any wire brackets or tracks that can be unsightly and impact your confidence. 

A Fast Solution

Whereas many braces will take a few months, if not over a year, to straighten your teeth and improve your smile, Invisalign does not. The main benefit of Invisalign is that it can take as little as one month to straighten your smile and give you that Hollywood smile you’ve always wanted. 

Made for Life 

The beauty of Invisalign is that it is fashioned as a clear retainer, which means it is not fixed to your teeth all of the time. You can remove your retainer while eating or brushing your teeth, which will prevent you from needing to pick out bits of food from your braces after eating! 

Perfect for Adults 

While it is common for children and teenagers to have those classic train track braces during school – it is not common for adults. If you notice a problem with your smile during adulthood, you might be too embarrassed to consider proper braces. This is where Invisalign is the best option and will allow you to straighten your smile without showing the whole world. 

How does Invisalign work? 

Now it is time to talk about the process of Invisalign and what to expect if you are to choose this treatment. 

Initial Consultation 

The first step is to visit your dentist and tell them about your issues and what you want to achieve with Invisalign braces. The dentist will examine your teeth, provide you with information, and talk about proceeding. They will then take a bite mold of your teeth and send that off to Invisalign for them to create your retainer. 

Making Your Aligners

Once your tooth impression reaches Invisalign, they will create your aligners. Using 3-D imaging, they will assess your note impression and create custom-made Algiers. Depending on the severity of your problem, you might have anything from 12 to 48 different aligners that are slightly different each time to shape your teeth into the shape you want. 

Fit Your Aligners

Once the aligners are done, you’ll be back at the dentist to try them on. We will give you a few sets of aligners to wear during this time before you head back to the dentist again to see how you are getting on. 

Living Life 

Every set of aligners is designed for two weeks of wear, and after this point, you’ll move to the next set in the stage to continue molding your teeth into the desired shape. You’ll need to remove the retainer when eating and drinking, and you will remove them to brush and floss your teeth. It is important to note that you will wear your aligners in bed. Every six weeks, you will visit the dentist to get the following few sets of your aligners. The average treatment is 12-18 months.

Finish 

Once you have worn every set of aligners in the series, your treatment is over. You’ll have another visit to the dentist to take a look at your final result and see whether you are happy with it or not. If you are not 100% satisfied, you can discuss it next. We will give you a retainer to wear at night for six months to keep your smile in place. Schedule your consultation today with Aspen Dental in Denver CO!
