How Does Invisalign Work

Invisalign uses clear, custom-fitted aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. Here’s a brief overview of how it works:

  • Customization: Aligners are tailored using 3D imaging to fit perfectly.
  • Usage: Wear each set for about two weeks, except when eating or brushing.
  • Progression: Teeth gradually shift as you move through the series of aligners.
  • Check-ups: Periodic visits to the orthodontist ensure everything is on track.

This method offers a less visible, flexible option for orthodontic treatment.

Is Invisalign For Me?

How Do Braces Work?

Braces are an effective solution for correcting misaligned teeth, and understanding their function can make the process less intimidating for children and parents. Here’s how braces work:

  • Brackets: These are attached to each tooth, serving as anchors for the braces.
  • Orthodontic Bands: These bands are used on some teeth to anchor the brackets more securely.
  • Arch Wires: The wires connect the brackets and guide the movement of the teeth by applying pressure.
  • Ligatures: Small elastic bands or fine wires that secure the arch wires to the brackets.
  • Spacers: These create space between teeth to prepare for band placement.

Braces apply steady pressure to teeth, gradually aligning them. Orthodontists adjust braces regularly to guide this movement, improving both appearance and oral health.

Invisalign vs Braces

Choosing between Invisalign and braces? Let’s break it down with guidance from Dr. Scott Kennedy at Dynamic Family Dentistry:

  • Visibility: Invisalign is discreet; braces are more noticeable.
  • Comfort: Invisalign’s smooth aligners offer comfort; braces have metal parts.
  • Convenience: Invisalign can be removed for eating and cleaning; braces are fixed.
  • Treatment Duration: Invisalign may be quicker; braces could take longer.
  • Visits: Invisalign requires fewer check-ins; braces need regular adjustments.
  • Suitability: Invisalign suits many cases; braces may be needed for complex issues.

Dr. Kennedy can assist in evaluating your options, ensuring the best choice for your smile’s journey.

Choosing Invisalign or Braces?

Choosing between Invisalign and traditional braces hinges on your needs and preferences. Invisalign is nearly invisible and removable, making it ideal for those seeking a discreet option with ease for eating and cleaning. It’s suitable for mild to moderate teeth alignment issues.

Traditional braces, while more visible, are effective for complex dental problems and are generally more affordable. They require careful maintenance and some dietary adjustments. Speak with Dr. Kennedy to determine the best option for your specific situation.
