What is Invisalign?
There’s never been a better time to straighten your teeth with the most advanced clear aligner in the world. At Rainier Beach Dental, We are proud to be a certified provider of Invisalign clear aligners, which give you a clear, convenient, and comfortable option to achieve the smile you’ve always wanted.
If you wish you had straighter teeth but don’t want to deal with unsightly metal braces, invisible aligners could be a great option for you. Invisible aligners are a custom-made series of snug-fitting, comfortable clear aligners that gently straighten your teeth over the course of several months, and are virtually undetectable when worn. They are excellent for older teens and adults who wish to correct mild to moderate crowded teeth or spacing and bite issues.
Though some find straighter teeth more aesthetically appealing, there are actually several oral health benefits to having straighter teeth as well! Correctly aligned teeth:
-
Make your mouth less prone to periodontal (gum) disease, because it is easier to clean the gums and areas around your teeth.
-
Have better functionality due to a better (correctly aligned) bite, which could result in relieving headaches and jaw joint issues (TMD) due to a misaligned bite.
How Invisible Aligners Work
Unlike traditional metal braces, which are cemented onto your teeth and can only be removed by your orthodontist, invisible aligners can be removed by the wearer. Though they should be worn every single day for at least 22 hours a day for effective results, they can be removed while eating and cleaning your teeth. Each aligner is worn for two weeks and then switched to the next in the series of aligners, each piece designed to gradually and gently move your teeth into place according to your custom treatment plan. Depending on your unique case, treatment can last anywhere between three to eighteen months.
