Hinsdale Invisalign: Get a Beautiful Smile with Clear Plastic Aligners

A good, straight, honest smile can help your personal life and professional life, and crooked or crowded teeth can make you feel less confident. The good news is that modern orthodontic options have made it easier than ever before to straighten your teeth - and get the smile you want - without the look of heavy traditional braces.

What Is Invisalign & How Does It Work?

Invisalign consists of clear, removable plastic aligners. These aligners fit over your teeth and look like mouth guards, but they're much thinner than mouth guards. You wear them over your teeth, and they put pressure on your teeth to shift them into place.

Instead of a metal bracket and wire, Invisalign uses a series of comfortable, clear aligners to move teeth. The Invisalign aligners, which are made of smooth, clear, biocompatible plastic, are custom-made to fit snugly over your teeth, based on an imprint of your mouth and stage of treatment prescribed by your orthodontist.

Advantages of Invisalign

Patients visit for our Hinsdale Invisalign so that they can experience the advantages of comfort, convenience and aesthetic.

Most people won't even realize you are wearing an orthodontic aligner because they are clear! Clear aligners are the perfect choice for teens and adults.

Removability. Invisalign aligners can be simply detached when required. For example, they are unattached for eating, brushing, flossing and drinking. The benefit of having clear braces is that it allows you to eat all foods that are not allowed with traditional braces.

Since they are removable, it is a lot easier to continue normal cleaning and flossing routines than it is with traditional fixed braces.

Kind to the cheeks and gums – The tailor-made aligners are based on the teeth, and they do not contain any metal that can contribute to cheek scraping or pain on the gums.

For patients who adhere to the daily wear-time minimum, the aligners can be taken out for special events, business meetings, or social gatherings.

Who Can Benefit from Invisalign?

Invisalign can be used to treat many orthodontic issues such as: crooked teeth or teeth that are crowded together, teeth with spaces between them, overbites, underbites, and some crossbites.

Depending on the condition of the patient's teeth, whether or not it is suitable as a form of treatment and the circumstances and results of the treatment, it can differ. Talking to an orthodontist will decide the clear aligners or in any other ortho treatment.

What to Expect During Your Invisalign Treatment

First, your orthodontist will probably start out by performing a dental exam, as well as taking digital X-ray images of your teeth.

Your teeth will be slowly transitioned to the smile you desire with a series of aligners that you change out roughly every two weeks. Each aligner is worn 20 to 22 hours a day, gently shifting your teeth into their final desired position.

Adjustments are accounted for by the orthodontist through the required number of visits.
