It wasn't that long ago that the only way to treat crooked or
misaligned teeth was with a pair of heavy and uncomfortable metal
braces. The creators of Invisalign spent time working on a few different
ideas before coming up with a safer and less intrusive way of improving
smiles. Invisalign can improve your smile and straighten your teeth
while being completely invisible to the naked eye, which means you won't
worry about what others think.
The First Appointment
During your first appointment at a dental office, the dentist will take
a look at your teeth and use x-rays to determine if you are a good
candidate for the procedure. The dentist will then cast a mold of your
teeth, send the mold to the laboratory, and wait for the aligners to
come back. Since they will use the mold of your teeth as reference, the
aligners would fit your teeth perfectly and will only work on your smile
alone.
How It Works
Invisalign slowly straightens your teeth over time. You'll wear the
first set of aligners for six to eight weeks before going back to visit
the dentist. The dentist can then fit you with a new set of aligners
that match the new shape of your smile. The aligners slowly and
carefully adjust the way your teeth fit inside your mouth to give you a
straighter and better-looking smile. Get in touch with your dentist to
find out more about Invisalign costs before you schedule your first
appointment.
