Thinking about getting Invisalign here in Garden City, NY?
When it comes to correcting a misaligned smile, people now have more options than ever thanks to the addition of “invisible” braces such as Invisalign. If you’re ready to fix your crooked teeth with the help of Invisalign, chances are fairly good that you may have some questions for our Garden City, NY, dentists at Garden City Dental Group about what to expect from treatment. Here’s what you should know,
Straighten Your Smile the Clear Way
Invisalign is an advanced orthodontic system that uses clear, plastic trays instead of brackets and wires. Invisalign is completely metal-free, and these custom-made trays fit over your teeth just like at-home whitening trays. The difference is that these aligners are designed to fit tightly around your teeth, applying just enough pressure and force to gradually move teeth into the right position. Each aligner will create subtle changes in the shape and alignment of your smile, which you will begin to notice during the course of your treatment.
Of course, for you to see results, you must wear your aligners as much as possible. Aim to wear your aligners whenever you aren’t brushing, flossing, eating, or drinking (you may wear your aligners if you are drinking water), which should equate to wearing them about 22 hours a day. The average length of treatment for adults wearing Invisalign is about one year, but you could see results sooner.
Correct Your Crooked or Misaligned Smile
Invisalign technology continues to become more and more advanced, which means that it’s now able to handle a wide range of minor to more severe dental issues than ever before. Invisalign can be used to treat,
- Crowding
- Gaps between teeth
- Slightly twisted or overlapping teeth
- Overbites
- Underbites
- Crossbites
- Open bites
