Invisalign

Invisalign allows to correct, misshaped or protruding teeth, unevenly spaced teeth or misaligned teeth without using traditional braces. Although Invisalign uses the same principal as traditional metal braces, it is an innovative method that allows straightening teeth while being practically invisible through the use of clear custom-fabricated aligners. 

Advantages of Invisalign Arizona

Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible and difficult to detect, making it very popular among adults who are looking to straighten their teeth without having the look of traditional braces that are typically worn by children and adolescents. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners can easily taken out to eat or to brush your teeth so you are not having to worry about getting things stuck in your braces or cleaning between each bracket. Invisalign also typically requires fewer visits to the dentist as opposed to traditional braces. Another advantage is the treatment time is typically less than that of traditional braces, averaging less than a year depending on the treatment. Minor treatments such as minor crowding or spacing may be completed in as little as 6 months. 

Arizona Invisalign Braces Procedure

To start the Invisalign braces process, the dentist first takes dental impressions, photographs, and X-rays of the patients teeth to send to Align Technology. These impressions are sent through a CT scan where the computer creates a three-dimensional model where technicians are able to individualize each tooth to move them to the final desired position as prescribed by the orthodontist. Then the software simulates the movement of teeth through each stage and the dentist reviews the simulation using Align Technology’s ClinCheck to approve the treatment. Once it is approved, plastic resin aligners are manufactured for each stage of simulation and shipped directly to the orthodontist. Through a series of clear, custom-fabricated, medical grade plastic aligners, the teeth will gradually and sequentially moved to the final position little by little.
