Questions for an Invisalign Dentist in Fort Lauderdale

For people of all ages, Invisalign is a better and more convenient alternative to metal braces. It is an orthodontic aligner constructed of translucent acrylic that resembles a sports mouthguard. These are solid plastic trays that are powerful enough to move your teeth into their proper orthodontic placements. 

Because Invisalign is translucent, it is difficult to determine if someone is wearing it. Invisalign therapy is provided by expert dentists at Anthony G Corbo DDS in Ft. Lauderdale, FL.

What Conditions Would Require Invisalign Treatment?

Invisalign can help with a variety of issues, including:

• It aids in bridging the gaps that have formed between the teeth.
• It can aid in the correction of slight underbites and overbites.
• Crookedness, overlapping, and overcrowding of teeth can all be corrected.
• Crossbites, in which the upper teeth overlap inside the lower teeth, are treatable dental issues.
• The misalignment caused by the tooth protrusion can be corrected.

What Are the Advantages of Invisalign?

• Because the aligners are translucent, no one will notice that you are wearing "braces."
• Unlike typical metal braces, they are detachable.
• You can eat, drink, and brush your teeth normally while wearing removable aligners.
• They are quite pleasant, and there is no risk of metal wires irritating or damaging the corners of your mouth.
• The aligners are more visually attractive to the eyes.

What Is the Invisalign Treatment Procedure?

To begin the Invisalign treatment, you must first come to our clinic for a consultation. We will determine whether Invisalign is a good treatment option for you. If this is the case, we will then create a personalized treatment plan.

We will next take X-rays, pictures, and impressions of your teeth, which will be processed in the Invisalign system software. The imprints taken during your initial appointment will be examined by advanced 3D computer imaging technologies and used to fabricate a custom-made series of transparent, removable aligners.

Your aligners will be given to you on your next visit. Each set of clear aligners must be worn continuously for around two weeks, except when you’re eating, drinking, and brushing. You will be required to visit our clinic once every four to six weeks to confirm that the treatment is progressing as intended. 

Once all of the aligners have been worn, the treatment is finished. The length of treatment necessary varies on the severity of the case and is typically six months to one year.
