No longer do you have to have bulky, uncomfortable metal brackets filling your mouth in order to straighten your teeth. Now with Invisalign you can have a beautiful, straight smile in half the time of traditional braces and without anyone even knowing you’re wearing them.
How does Boston Invisalign work?
First, Dr. Burba will take a detailed impression of your teeth in order to facilitate in planning your tooth movements. These plans, along with three dimensional images of the impressions, are programmed into a computer that will manufacture a set of aligners designed specifically for your teeth. When you receive your first set of aligners they will feel like they don’t fit. This is intentional. The aligners are gently moving your teeth into a new position. After about two weeks, they will feel like they fit naturally. It is then time for the next set of aligners. This new computerized method is much more accurate than other orthodontics. Because of that, invisalign works in about six months to a year, which is half the time of traditional braces.
Advantages of Invisalign
- They are much more comfortable than traditional braces.
- Tooth maintenance is much easier. Simply remove the aligners to brush and floss normally.
- You can eat anything you want without the fear of your food getting stuck. Remove them to eat, and put them back when you’re done. It’s that simple.
- They are much faster than traditional orthodontics. You’ll be completely done with them in 6-12 months, as opposed to the 2-3 years traditional braces require.
- They are truly invisible. No one will know you are wearing them.
Disadvantages of Invisalign
- Patient compliance is optional. Because they are removable, it is up to the patient when and how much to wear them. This could be a problem when dealing with children or teens.
