Invisalign


Set of clear aligners resting in an Invisalign® branded case on a blue backgroundInvisalign remains a popular choice among those who are looking to straighten their teeth. Not only does it do a great job at straightening, but also correcting gaps in between the teeth. Although you may think of them as being similar to braces, they are not visible as easily.

Having Invisalign as an alternative to regular braces allows the patient to achieve the same positive effects. When you contact Mukilteo Smiles we will schedule you for a consultation appointment to see if Invisalign aligners will be suitable for your needs. The treatment provided by Invisalign will provide you with a great new smile.

Steps to Getting Invisalign


At the start of your appointment, the dentist will have images taken that will be used to develop the model for the Invisalign aligners. When uploaded to a software, the images will show the slow transition the teeth will take to being aligned. You will then see what your teeth will look like after treatment has ended.

The Invisalign aligner model will then be fabricated into the end product and fitted to the surface of your teeth. As soon as the aligners are placed, movement will commence. After placing, you will use this initial aligner for two weeks.

Following the two weeks and the treatment has started, an adjustment will need to be conducted. This adjustment will decide how long it will take to obtain the desired result. Often times, an aligner will need replacing every two weeks for the end result to be achieved.

Maintain Contact With Your Dental Office


Keeping in regular contact with your dentist concerning your Invisalign is an important step in the aligner process. Not only will we monitor your progress, but the effectiveness of your aligners will also be measured. If your dentist feels that any adjustments are needed, then we will make it at that time.

Invisalign Adds Comfort and Convenience


With an Invisalign aligner, your mouth will feel just as comfortable as it did without it. Invisalign aligners are removable, so when you are eating, you can take them out. This will provide comfort without having to worry about food being stuck in them. There are no food restrictions this way, as is the case with traditional metal braces with wires and brackets.

You will also remove your clear aligner before brushing your teeth. Be sure to clean, or at least rinse off your aligner before putting it back in your mouth.

What Else Do I Need to Know About Invisalign?


Invisalign aligners should be worn for 22 hours per day. They should only be removed while eating, drinking, or brushing your teeth. If you do not wear your aligners for the allotted amount of time each day, your treatment time may be extended or you may not receive the results you are hoping to achieve.
