clear aligners or Invisalign
What is Invisalign?
Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible, making it a popular choice for adults and teenagers who want to straighten their teeth without the metal wires and brackets associated with braces. The aligners are custom-made to fit each patient’s teeth, ensuring a snug and comfortable fit.
Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear aligners made of medical-grade plastic to gently shift teeth into their correct position
Invisalign treatment uses a series of clear, custom-made aligners that gradually shift your teeth into the desired position. Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks before being replaced with the next set in the series. Over time, your teeth will move into the correct position, resulting in a straighter smile.
Type of Invisalign
Overbite
An excessive overbite is when your upper front teeth cover too much of your lower front teeth. The lower front teeth may cause trauma to your upper gums.
Spacing
Spacing is when you have excessive gapping between two or more teeth. This does not look nice and can cause food to be trapped easily during eating, which may result in tooth decay and gum problems.
Crowed Teeth
Crowded teeth occurs when there is not don’t have enough space in the jaw for teeth to fit normally. Your teeth can bunch up, overlap and twist, sometimes getting pushed to the front or the back.
Open Bite
An open bite occurs when upper and lower teeth don’t touch/fully close when your
mouth is fully closed. Open bites typically affect appearance and may even cause patients to suffer from speech problems.
Cross Bite
Crossbite is the orthodontic condition where patients have some of their upper teeth sit behind their lower teeth when the mouth is closed.
Under Bite
An underbite is a condition when your lower teeth and jaw protrude in front of the upper teeth. Severe cases may cause difficulty biting or chewing food or challenges when speaking.
