Invisalign
What is invisalign?

Invisalign is a modern and innovative way to straighten your teeth and improve your smile. It is an alternative to traditional braces that uses clear, removable, and custom-made aligners that fit over your teeth. Invisalign aligners are made of a smooth and comfortable plastic material that is virtually invisible. They gently and gradually move your teeth into the desired position, without using any metal wires or brackets.

Why do you need invisalign?

You may need invisalign if you have one or more of the following dental problems:

• Crooked or crowded teeth
• Gaps or spaces between teeth
• Overbite or underbite
• Crossbite or open bite
• Misaligned jaw or teeth

These problems can affect not only your appearance and confidence, but also your oral health and function. They can make it harder to clean your teeth and gums, increasing the risk of tooth decay, gum disease, or bad breath. They can also cause difficulty in chewing, speaking, or smiling, as well as pain or discomfort in your jaw or face.

Invisalign can help you solve these problems by straightening your teeth and enhancing your smile. Invisalign can also prevent further damage to your teeth and gums by providing support and stability.

What are the benefits of invisalign?

Invisalign offers many benefits over traditional braces, such as:

• Aesthetics: Invisalign aligners are clear and discreet, making them hardly noticeable to others. You can smile with confidence, without worrying about metal wires or brackets.
• Comfort: Invisalign aligners are smooth and comfortable, fitting snugly over your teeth. You can avoid the irritation or injury that metal wires or brackets can cause to your mouth.
• Convenience: Invisalign aligners are removable, allowing you to eat, drink, brush, and floss normally. You can also take them off for special occasions, such as weddings, parties, or photos.
• Hygiene: Invisalign aligners are easy to clean, requiring only a simple rinse with water or a gentle brush with toothpaste. You can also keep your teeth and gums healthy by maintaining your regular oral hygiene routine.
• Efficiency: Invisalign aligners are effective, delivering faster and more precise results than traditional braces. You can see the progress of your treatment every time you change your aligners, which usually happens every one to two weeks.

How do you get invisalign?

Getting invisalign involves several steps that may take from 12 to 18 months to complete. Here is what you can expect when you visit Polygems Dental Clinic for your invisalign treatment:

• Consultation: During your first visit, we will examine your mouth and take X-rays or 3-D scans to assess your dental condition and suitability for invisalign. We will also discuss your goals, expectations, and treatment options. We will then create a customized treatment plan for you using a software called ClinCheck, which shows you a digital simulation of how your teeth will move and what your final smile will look like.
• Fitting: During your second visit, we will prepare your teeth for the aligners by cleaning them and applying some attachments or buttons to them. These are small tooth-colored bumps that help the aligners grip and move your teeth more effectively. We will then give you your first set of aligners and instruct you on how to wear and care for them. You will need to wear them for at least 22 hours a day, only taking them off for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing.
• Adjustment: After the fitting, you will need to visit us regularly for check-ups and adjustments. We will monitor the progress of your treatment and give you new sets of aligners as needed. We will also answer any questions you may have and provide any additional services, such as cleaning or repairing your aligners.
• Completion: Once your treatment is completed, we will remove the attachments from your teeth and give you a final set of aligners that act as retainers. Retainers are devices that help maintain the position of your teeth after the treatment is over. You will need to wear them as instructed by us to prevent any relapse or shifting of your teeth.
