Everyone wants a straight, perfect smile. However, not everyone wants to announce that they’re straightening their teeth. At Waked Dental, we’re secretly straightening Strongsville smiles with Invisalign® clear plastic aligners.
The Invisalign system uses clear trays to gently reposition your teeth over a designated course of treatment. Each set of aligners are custom-made specifically for you, and the plastic is comfortable to wear, yet durable. The fit is perfect, as we ensure accurate impressions of your current teeth when we begin planning your treatment.
If your teeth are:
- Gapped
- Crooked
- Misaligned
or you suffer from:
- Overbite
- Underbite
Then the Invisalign system may work for you! Each treatment is tailored to the individual patient, which means your set of aligners is made just for your unique smile. We’ll discuss your smile goals and plot a course for a straighter smile with a specific treatment time in place.
Using Invisalign®
Invisalign is convenient and easy to use, which is just one of the many benefits that make the treatment attractive to our patients. All you have to do is wear the discreet aligners every day, for at least 20-22 hours. You should remove the aligners when you eat and drink, which means you don’t have to give up your favorite snacks. You can eat or drink whatever you like without worrying about particles getting stuck in brackets or wires. And since they’re removable, you can brush and floss easily, maintaining great oral hygiene while straightening.
The aligners come in a series, and every two weeks you’ll switch to the next set. Each set of aligners gradually shifts your teeth according to the treatment plan, until you’ve reached your desired results. Most patients require between 18 and 30 different sets to get a straighter smile, and you may be able to see results in just 12-15 months. Every six weeks, Dr. Waked will monitor your progress to ensure you’re on track to meet your smile goals.
Without having to visit the dentist as often as you would if you had traditional metal braces, the Invisalign system puts you in control of your straightening. The best part is, when worn correctly, Invisalign aligners are virtually undetectable. The clear plastic covers your teeth, letting their natural appearance shine through.
