Invisalign® in Ocoee, FL
Have you always thought that your smile would look better if your teeth were aligned differently? Are you finally ready to receive orthodontic treatment, but are worried that traditional metal braces would be too conspicuous? Many adults who want orthodontic treatment for teeth misalignment, or malocclusion, often find themselves wondering whether there’s a more discreet way to go about it. Fortunately for you, there is. You don’t have to resort to conventional metal braces—unless you want to!
Smiles of Ocoee offers Invisalign® treatment to patients who want to change their bites. Invisalign treatment utilizes clear aligners to give you the smile of your dreams. These clear aligners aren’t just invisible but removable, as well. This way, you can straighten your teeth and still enjoy social situations without worrying about the aligners getting in the way.
What to Expect During Your Appointment
We begin all orthodontic treatments by taking dental x-rays to determine the state of your teeth and jaws. You must have sufficient bone and healthy gums to start orthodontic treatment. After an initial comprehensive examination, our orthodontist takes digital impressions of your teeth. These dental impressions are sent off to the Invisalign lab, which creates a set of clear aligners for you.
You’ll need to wait for at least four weeks for the aligners to be ready. During this period, our dental office will be in constant communication with the Invisalign lab to ensure that your aligners meet the required specifications.
During your second appointment, our orthodontist in Ocoee, FL will fit you with your first aligner, and show you how to use the other aligners. Typically, you’ll move to the next-stage aligner every two weeks. You must keep your aligners on for at least 20 hours every day. Anything less than this may render the aligners ineffective.
Benefits of Invisalign Treatment
It’s essential to note that not all cases of misalignment can be corrected with Invisalign treatment. If your teeth are severely misaligned, our orthodontist may recommend traditional metal braces. For patients who are suitable candidates for Invisalign treatment, there are several benefits to look forward to, including:
- Clear aligners are invisible and discreet. If you don’t want everyone to know that you’re undergoing orthodontic treatment, you should go for Invisalign.
- Since they’re custom-made, clear aligners fit comfortably. They’re made from smooth plastic and don’t scrape your oral tissues.
- Clear aligners are removable. You can take off your aligners when you need to eat or kiss.
