Invisalign: The Magic Braces
To get an Invisalign, visit an invisible braces dentist. Invisalign is made of special plastics manufactured in the company’s facilities (Invisalign is produced by a company called Invisalign) and each Invisalign is fashioned according to the molds in one’s mouth. The aligners used in making Invisalign, though made of plastic, are strong enough to perform the purpose which they are made for – exerting pressure on a specific part or parts of the teeth to slowly correct their position and put them in the right place.
Invisalign uses clear aligners that are almost invisible to the eyes. Visit a dentist near you to if you cannot find an invisible braces dentist. The dentist can help to examine your teeth, your grin and other impressions of your mouth, and your oral health in general. After the examination, the dentist will send specific information about your mouth to Invisalign, then Invisalign used this information to make custom aligners for your mouth. Invisalign can be likened to a drug for an ailment, this means that the company is only responsible for making the aligners available. Your dentist will oversee every other treatment process and help you get the Invisalign fixed in your teeth to achieve the intended result.
Invisalign trays are usually very easy to remove which means if you need to do something, say to eat, floss your teeth, brush or do other things, you can easily take them off and wear them again when you are done. However, for the trays to be effective, it is recommended that a person wears them for at least 20 hours a day. Since they are designed to correct the position of the teeth, the trays are usually replaced after seven to fourteen days. This is because, at this time, it is expected that the tray must have made a correction and has reached its limit. A new one is given to the patient and this new one will be different from the last in the sense that its correction will begin from where the last one stopped. Constantly, a person will have to be changing the trays till the teeth have been moved to their right position.
Note that Invisalign trays are braces and not retainers because they help to move the teeth to give the mouth and jaw a correct shape, unlike retainers that just help to hold the teeth in place.
