Invisalign Treatment

Aligners or Invisalign are one of many technological advancements that have made orthodontic treatment less conspicuous and one of the many appliances orthodontists use to move teeth and align jaws.

Clear aligners are plastic replicas of your teeth. Wearing them puts gentle pressure on the teeth, ever-so-slightly repositioning them.

BRACES AND ALIGNERS FOR TEENS AND ADULTS

You may have considered orthodontic treatment if you suffer from misaligned teeth. There are many benefits that you may receive from orthodontic treatment. Luna Dentistry has options available for your orthodontic needs.

Orthodontics corrects improper tooth and jaw relationships. Crooked teeth and teeth that do not fit together correctly are harder to keep clean, and are at risk of being lost early due to tooth decay and periodontal disease. This condition can also cause extra stress on the chewing muscles that can lead to headaches, neck, shoulder and back pain. Also, teeth that are crooked or not in the right place can also detract from one’s appearance.

The benefits of orthodontic treatment include a healthier mouth, a more pleasing appearance, and teeth that are more likely to last a lifetime.

Do I need orthodontics?

Only your dentist or an orthodontist can determine whether you can benefit from orthodontics. At Luna Dentistry, we use a range of diagnostic tools that include a full medical and dental health history, a clinical exam, models of your teeth, and special X-rays and photographs to determine your candidacy for orthodontic treatment.

Traditional Braces

How Does Orthodontic Treatment Work?

There are many different types of appliances that are used to help move teeth, restrain muscles and affect the growth of the jaws. These appliances work by placing gentle pressure on the teeth and jaws. The severity of your problem will determine which orthodontic approach is likely to be the most effective.

Some of the conditions that may require treatment:

  • Overbite
    where the upper front teeth lie too far forward (stick out) over the lower teeth
  • Underbite
    where the lower teeth are too far forward or the upper teeth too far back
  • Crossbite
    when one’s bite is shifted to the left or right side
  • Open Bite
    when the upper and lower teeth do not meet during closing
  • Misplaced Midline
    when the center of your upper front teeth does not line up with the center of your lower front teeth
  • Spacing
    gaps, or spaces, between the teeth as a result of missing teeth or teeth that do not “fill up” the mouth
  • Crowding
    when there isn’t enough space in a dental ridge to accommodate the space needed for all teeth, thus forming “crowded up” teeth

Orthodontic Options Available to You

Traditional metal orthodontic appliances may be a deterrent to seeking treatment. Metal braces are not the only option available, and your dentist or orthodontist may discuss alternative treatment options available. Invisalign is an alternate treatment option for approved candidates.

Your treatment will start with a scan of your smile. Your aligners are unique to you, making for a more comfortable and invisible fit.

Invisalign, like traditional braces, can treat several orthodontic concerns such as crowding, gaps, or concerns with your bite. They are a great alternative for adults concerned about the visibility of traditional braces and may be an option for younger patients.

There are several differences between traditional braces and the Invisalign system. The most noticeable is that Invisalign are removable clear aligners.

The Invisalign system may need attachments to help teeth shift, though these are minimally noticeable. The attachments will ensure your aligners apply the correct amount of force in the right direction for the best outcome.

Traditional braces have many off-limit foods to avoid damage to your teeth or orthodontic appliance. With Invisalign, remove your aligners before eating or drinking and brush your teeth before putting them back in. No need to avoid some of your favourite foods.

Invisalign are easy to maintain without the need to learn new brushing and flossing techniques. Like your real teeth, gently brush and rinse your aligners before bed each night to keep them clean and fresh.

Keeping up with your regular dental check-ups and cleanings will ensure the health of your smile. It will also allow your dentist to assess the progress of your treatment. With no metal brackets or wires that can break, there will be fewer emergency trips to the dentist.
