What is Invisalign?

How Do Clear Aligners or an Invisalign Work?

Many people looking for an Invisalign in Houston wonder how they work. They work like braces, adjusting your teeth over the course of a few months or several years. We will break down the process for you:

Firstly, your orthodontist will take an x-ray to determine your teeth’s current condition and devise a treatment plan.

Then, they’ll make your first set of custom trays. Over the course of several months, your teeth will adjust in position.

Next, you’ll receive new and updated clear aligners after your teeth have adjusted. This new set will help move your teeth to the next stage. Gradually, your teeth will be in the required position after this process repeats a number of times.

Invisalign and metal braces are both orthodontic treatments that straighten your teeth. However, they do have some differences. But how is Invisalign a better option for you? Here are the benefits:

  • They are clear and less noticeable.
  • Makes it easy to eat, brush, and do other daily activities.
  • Does not give you cuts or bruises.
  • No need to stress about food getting stuck between wires and brackets.

What is the aftercare of this treatment method?

When your teeth are aligned in the correct position, according to your orthodontist, you can move to a fitted or traditional retainer worn at night. Although it depends on the severity of your initial misalignment, you should not have to wear the retainer all day long.

Since the teeth are no longer being held in place, there are chances that they might return to their original position. Thus, wearing retainers is essential to maintain an aligned bite.

Who is Eligible for Invisalign?

Adults and teens can both benefit from clear aligners for their alignment issues. However, they are not the best option for severe malocclusion. Many dentists in Houston recommend braces for such severe problems. But Invisalign works for minor misalignment issues. Dentists give preference to the following for clear aligners:

  • People above 13 years of age.
  • Minor bite misalignments (Gapped teeth, crowded teeth, crossbite, overbite, underbite)
  • Candidates who can take consistent and good care of their aligners.
