Invisalign vs. Traditional Orthodontics
Traditional Metal Braces
Probably what you imagine when you hear the term "braces," traditional orthodontics uses metal brackets, bands, and wires to straighten the teeth. These appliances are visible, but they can address a wide range of mild to severe orthodontic problems.
Clear Aligner Therapy with Invisalign
The Invisalign system also straightens teeth over time. But instead of using metal components, your Scottsdale, AZ, dentist uses clear, thermoplastic removable aligners. Each set of aligners is worn for approximately one week before upgrading to the next set.
See How They Differ
This video breaks down the main differences between Invisalign and metal braces.
What Conditions Can Invisalign Address?
One of the best things about Invisalign is that it can treat many of the same orthodontic conditions as traditional braces. Clear aligners can correct:
- Crooked teeth
- Crowded or overlapped teeth
- Gaps or spaces
- Rotated teeth
- Overbites
- Underbites
- Crossbites
- Open bites
But Is Invisalign Right for Me?
During your initial appointment, we can discuss similar cases and show you before and after photos. We'll also discuss your concerns, goals, and health history. Aligner therapy may be right for you if you have:
Good Oral Health
Before moving the teeth, we must ensure that you do not have extensive tooth decay, gum disease, or other serious problems.
Mild to Moderate Misalignment
While clear aligners can correct the majority of orthodontic problems, complex cases may require traditional orthodontics.
A Commitment to Treatment
To be effective, aligners must be worn a minimum of 22 hours every day. They should only be removed to brush, floss, eat, and drink.
Invisalign Treatment Timeline
Invisalign treatment takes about 12 to 18 months to complete. It may take shorter or longer depending on your specific case. Here are some general steps to expect during the treatment process:
Treatment can often be completed in as little as 12 months.
Caring for Your Aligners
While you are undergoing treatment, it is important to keep your Invisalign aligners clean and free from harmful bacteria. Here are a few recommendations from our dentistry team:
Rinse your aligners every time you remove them. This helps wash away dried saliva and bacteria. Be sure to use cool water, as warm or hot water can warp the trays.
While toothpaste is excellent for cleaning your teeth, it is not so good for cleaning your aligners. Use a clear antibacterial soap and a soft brush to remove plaque and tartar.
Never leave your trays laying out or carry them loose in your pocket. They can easily become warped. Always place them in the provided protective case for safety.
Invisalign trays should be soaked at least once every day in a special cleaning solution made specifically for aligners. Ask our dental team for recommendations.
