Are you considering orthodontic treatment? You could be a candidate for Invisalign treatment. Invisalign orthodontics can give your smile a healthier, more pleasing appearance. At Main Line Dental Health & Wellness, you work with the best Invisalign dentist near me for your procedure. Our practice serves residents in Bryn Mawr and Radnor, Pennsylvania.
Here are some of the questions we’re often asked about Invisalign:
Invisalign orthodontics offers a modern approach to teeth straightening. In place of metal braces, you’ll wear clear plastic aligner trays to straighten your teeth. These trays fit perfectly over your teeth and exert just the right amount of pressure to slowly and gently shift them into a straighter position.
We will start by evaluating your teeth to assess the problems that need to be fixed. Using Invisalign 3D imaging technology, we’ll then map out a treatment plan conducive to your dental needs. We’ll plan the movements of your teeth, create aligners for your use and monitor your procedure to ensure you’re making progress in achieving your smile goals.
Invisalign clear aligners work behind the scenes to straighten your teeth. When worn, they’re barely noticeable on your teeth and won’t impact your appearance. They’re also removable for meals and oral hygiene, allowing you to eat and brush your teeth like normal. Greater comfort, convenience and fewer disruptions to your busy schedule are additional benefits of Invisalign. Our team will see you every 8 – 10 weeks to keep track of your progress.
You will feel some discomfort at the onset of your treatment and every time you switch to new aligners due to the pressure they place on your teeth. Once you adjust to this pressure, the discomfort will cease. What you won’t feel are metal wires scratching your gums, lips or cheeks.
Ideally, you should wear the aligners 22 hours a day, removing them primarily to eat or brush your teeth. It’s also okay to remove the aligners for special occasions, if you don’t overdo it.
We can provide you with an Invisalign cleaning kit, or you can brush your aligners with clear, liquid soap and rinse them in warm water every time they’re removed. This keeps them clean and stain-free.
Treatment times and costs vary as each procedure is unique and tailored to our patients’ specific dental needs. Your Invisalign dentist can discuss these aspects of your treatment during your initial consultation so you can prepare accordingly.
