As an alternative to traditional orthodontics (or braces), Invisalign has been used to successfully correct millions of smiles. By properly positioning the teeth through the use of orthodontics, the appearance and function of your smile can be dramatically improved.
Invisalign, as an alternative to metal braces, brackets, and wires, has enabled many patients to realize the benefits of orthodontics. By utilizing a series of clear, removable aligners, your dentist can gently move the teeth towards their proper position. This treatment is much more discreet that the traditional method, since the aligners are barely noticeable to those around you. [pullquote]Invisalign, as an alternative to metal braces, brackets, and wires, has enabled many patients to realize the benefits of orthodontics.[/pullquote]
To determine if you are a candidate for Invisalign in Barrie, a complete dental examination is best. It is helpful, however, to be familiar with the wide range of conditions that can be successfully treated with the use of Invisalign technology.
Crowded and crooked teeth can be effectively repositioned using Invisalign aligners. Your dentist will need to obtain dental impressions of your teeth to be submitted to the Invisalign headquarters as the first phase of your treatment. The impressions will be used to create 3D models of your teeth and to develop customized aligners. These models are critical to the planning of your treatment and will help your dentist to estimate your approximate treatment time.
This same technology can be used to close undesirable spaces between the teeth. A series of aligners will be created to carefully and gently guide your teeth into place. Each set of aligners will be worn for approximately two weeks before moving to the next set.
Other, more technical dental conditions can also be corrected with the use of Invisalign technology. Patients who have been diagnosed with an overbite, underbite, crossbite, or overjet can typically be considered as candidates for the Invisalign procedure. Patients who are interested in limited or minor corrections in their bite are also great Invisalign candidates.
