Invisalign
Invisalign is a customized plastic dental appliance used to straighten the teeth and jaw. It’s a popular alternative to traditional orthodontic treatments, such as metal braces, because the aligners are clear, less noticeable, and more comfortable to wear.
How Invisalign Treatment Works
Unlike traditional braces that are adhered to the teeth, Invisalign aligns the teeth using clear plastic aligner trays that can be easily removed from the mouth.
Invisalign is a treatment that typically requires a series of aligner trays to be created and used throughout the treatment plan. This way, the aligners can slowly shift your teeth into the correct position. It also allows your doctor to shift the teeth in a timed order that will achieve the best overall results.
Your Invisalign trays will be created specifically for you. At your first appointment, your dentist will use a scanner to take 3D digital scans of your teeth. Other x-rays and scans may also be needed so your doctor can view all of the components of your teeth, jaw, and any previous restorations.
Once the images are complete, your dentist will customize your treatment plan using technology to determine how your teeth will need to be aligned. Your aligners will be created and your doctor will check the fit.
Once you walk out of the clinic with your aligners on, you’ll simply need to wear them regularly. Your doctor will most likely book a follow-up appointment with you on a regular schedule. At these appointments, you’ll receive new aligners to further shift your teeth. Your treatment’s progress can also be tracked and adjusted by your doctor.

What are the signs of misaligned teeth?
If you’re experiencing cold sensitivity, jaw or muscle pain or headaches, teeth chipping or wearing, difficulty flossing, bad breath, dry mouth or receding gums, you could have abnormal tooth alignment. If you are presenting any of these conditions, we can help get your teeth out of trauma and we can help treat the problem and the symptoms related to these conditions:
As your oral health professionals, these conditions are a concern. There are consequences with poorly aligned teeth including:
Receding gums
Gum disease
Indentations at the gum line
Cold sensitivity
Chipped or fractured teeth
Tooth loss
Severe gum infections may increase your risk of heart disease, stroke, lunch diseases, problems in pregnancy, complications related to diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease. All these are major health concerns and the solution is straighter teeth.
