The Treatment Process & Benefits of Invisalign
December 22, 2024 9:00 amStraightening your teeth no longer has to mean a mouth full of metal brackets and wires. Invisalign has transformed orthodontic care with clear aligners that are discreet, comfortable, and effective. If you’ve been considering Invisalign, you may be wondering what the treatment process looks like and whether it’s the right choice for you. At Hermitage Family & Cosmetic Dentistry in Hermitage, TN, Dr. Aileen Kruger and Dr. Friedmann are here to walk you through the details and benefits of this modern orthodontic option.
How Does the Invisalign Treatment Work?
The Invisalign process starts with a consultation. Using advanced 3D imaging, your dentist will create a custom treatment plan tailored to your needs. Here’s what you can expect:
Initial Scan and Planning: The iTero scanner maps out your teeth in detail, creating a 3D model of your smile. With the help of ClinCheck software, your dentist will show you a virtual preview of how your teeth will move at each stage of treatment—and what your final smile will look like before you even begin.
Custom Aligners: Based on your plan, a series of aligners will be crafted specifically for your teeth. Each aligner tray moves your teeth approximately ¼ of a millimeter, gradually shifting them closer to their ideal positions.
Check-Ins: Throughout the process, you’ll have regular appointments to monitor your progress and ensure everything is on track.
Retainers: After treatment, Vivera retainers—crafted with the same advanced technology as Invisalign aligners—help maintain your new smile and prevent teeth from shifting back.
What Are the Benefits of Invisalign?
Discreet Appearance: The clear aligners are barely noticeable, so you can smile with confidence throughout your treatment.
Comfortable Fit: Made from smooth, flexible material, Invisalign aligners won’t irritate your gums or cheeks like traditional braces can.
Flexibility: Since the aligners are removable, you can enjoy your favorite foods and maintain your normal brushing and flossing routine.
Efficient Results: For many patients, Invisalign delivers noticeable changes in just a few months.
