Introduction

Crooked, crowded or spaced teeth don’t only make your smile unappealing — they can also make it harder to chew your food, lead to tooth decay and gum disease, and make social and professional situations uncomfortable. While traditional braces can work, there is more than one way to do things, especially when it comes to people who are concerned about how much attention their looks get.

The Invisalign clear aligners gently and gradually realign the teeth. The nearly invisible aligners are easy to clean and let you eat all of your favorite foods during treatment. We tailor each Invisalign treatment at Kevin harris dentist to your lifestyle and oral health objectives at Scottsdale, Arizona. From busy professionals to students in college and even parents seeking something fun for their teens, Invisalign is the contemporary orthodontic journey to a healthier, more confident smile.

What is Invisalign?

What is it: Invisalign is a sort of innovative orthodontic treatment, it uses a gradual process for getting your teeth in order, through a sequence of clear and customized aligners, that sort of thing. These flexible, removable trays are made from high-quality medical-grade plastic. They are intended to sit snugly on your teeth, and they help guide everything into a proper alignment over time.
The reasons for doing it: To correct out-of-alignment teeth (crowded teeth, gap teeth, mild to moderate bite problems, such as an overbite, underbite, or crossbite), and because of some relapse after previous orthodontic treatment.
Suggested for: Teens and adults with alignment issues, but not severe, and do not want to wear conventional braces. In some complicated cases, braces are needed or a combination of orthodontics may be necessary.
Objectives of Treatment: Proper alignment of teeth, good oral function, good oral health, reduced wear, attractive smile.

Signs You May Need Invisalign

Overcrowding or over-lapping teeth that are hard to floss.
Space or gap between teeth which affects your smile or dental health.
Protruding teeth or teeth that are misaligned or fail to come together correctly when biting.
An overbite, underbite, crossbite or open bite.
Teeth that have shifted following an earlier orthodontic braces.
Having problem to clean some of the teeth, resulting in frequent cavities or gum inflammation.
Minimal confidence smile and/or not taking pictures due to teeth alignment.

If you are experiencing issues in your bite, speech changes due to tooth position, pain in the jaw or problems with oral hygiene, visit a dentist or orthodontist at Kevin harris dentist in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Who is a Good Candidate?

Ideal patients: Adolescents (with erupted permanent teeth) and adults seeking subtle orthodontic alignment and/or correction who do not want braces.
Age factors: Teenager agevisaligns are accompanied by compliance indicators, and adults can use fully aesthetic and metal brackets free agevisaligns.
Oral health conditions: It is important that the candidate’s gums and teeth are healthy, and if they do have dental issues, they will need to be treated prior to starting Invisalign.
Lifestyle factors: If patients can wear the aligners 20-22 hours a day, keep their teeth clean and visit regularly, they are ideal candidates.

Benefits

Health benefits: Easier cleaning means fewer cavities and gum disease, and as long as the bite is adjusted, it means there will be less strain and uneven wear on the teeth.
Cosmetic benefits: You can straighten your teeth without other people noticing you are wearing braces.
Long-term benefits: Stable alignment in the use of retainers after treatment; oral function improvement, fewer restoration needs.
Quality of life enhancements: No food restrictions as compared to braces, fewer visits to the emergency room for broken wires, and less discomfort when adjusting the braces.

Invisalign Treatment Process

Consultation: You can straighten your teeth without other people noticing you are wearing braces.
Digital Scans/X-rays: Intraoral scanning and/or impressions, as well as any required X-rays, to capture the positions of the teeth.
Treatment Planning: We develop a movement plan and estimated time line using digital treatment software.
Clear Aligners Fabrication: Custom clear aligners are made to your prescription.
Procedure/Delivery: The first set of aligners is placed and directions are given on how to wear, clean and check for progress.
Checkups: Every 6-10 weeks for checks and to get new sets of aligners.
Recovery/Completion: Retainers are given for the final aligner to keep the smile in place.
Follow-Up Appointments: Visits every 6-10 weeks and retention visits at the end.
