What to Ask Your Invisalign Dentist®

Going to see an Invisalign dentist is very common these days because a lot of people with crooked teeth, crowded teeth and bite problems are looking for discreet ways to fix their teeth. However, there are still some people who do not know much about Invisalign aligners and what to expect during treatment.
Questions to ask your Invisalign dentist before beginning treatment
Before a patient goes to a dentist for treatment, it is important that they ask as many questions about the procedure before they begin, so they know what to expect before, during and after treatment. Some of the questions to ask an Invisalign dentist include:
What are Invisalign aligners?
Invisalign aligners are a set of clear, removable aligners that are designed to gradually straighten the teeth. The aligners do not have wires and brackets and any of the restrictions that come with traditional braces.
What are the aligners made from?
Invisalign aligners are made of a clear flexible plastic material that is created specifically for Invisalign treatment. The plastic material is thin, clear, and fits tightly over the teeth making them virtually invisible.
Can Invisalign treatment really straighten teeth?
Yes, Invisalign dentists have had a lot of success straightening teeth with the aligners. However, they are not as effective in treating severe bite problems.
How does the treatment work?
When a patient goes in for their consultation, their Invisalign dentist will create a digital treatment plan that will map out how the teeth will move into their desired position. The aligners are then designed to apply the right amount of pressure to the right place at the right time. The Invisalign dentist will monitor the patient’s progress and make sure that the aligners fit perfectly.
What are the benefits of Invisalign aligners?
Some of the benefits of Invisalign aligners include:
- They are virtually invisible.
- They can be removed, allowing the patient to eat, drink and clean their teeth with ease.
- No metal brackets or wires to irritate the mouth.
Unlike other clear aligners, Invisalign aligners are made from a special material that provides more comfort to patients as well as a better fit. The aligners are also trimmed based on the patient’s gum line to improve its appearance and provide extra comfort.
Is Invisalign guaranteed to fix my crooked teeth?
Each patient’s situation is unique, making it impossible to guarantee the outcome of a particular treatment. However, the Invisalign dentist will help their patients determine what the treatment can do for their smile.
Can anyone get Invisalign?
Yes, Invisalign works for both adults and teenagers looking to improve the appearance of their teeth discreetly. The technology used makes it possible to fix nearly all common teeth-straightening and bite problems.
Will I have to wear a retainer after treatment?
Yes, the Invisalign dentist will recommend wearing a retainer after treatment is complete to prevent the teeth from gradually shifting back toward their initial position, which is a common occurrence after orthodontic treatment.
Conclusion
Invisalign dentists provide their patients with a way to straighten their teeth discreetly, improving the appearance and functionality of their teeth. If you have crooked teeth and want to get them fixed, talk to your dentist about getting Invisalign.
