Benefits of Invisalign Orthodontics

At the dental practices, invisalign has become the prevalent method for correcting misaligned teeth in adults. In the past, if a person was not born with perfectly straight teeth, the only way to achieve the alignment was with bulky metal hardware. the invisalign sidesteps the bulky hardware for a more streamlined orthodontic-correction method.

The invisalign treatment takes the straightening benefits of traditional braces but doesn't involve all the wire, rubber, and metal. The orthodontic tooth movement is instead achieved by using a set of clear, almost invisible, plastic aligners that gradually straighten a patient's smile.

At the dental offices, getting started with invisalign orthodontics is really simple. After an initial consultation with one of the dentists, patients learn if he or she is a qualified candidate. If qualified, impressions are taken. These are followed by computerized, digital radiographs and photographs. These records are then compiled and a 3-D image of the mouth is created on the computer.

In a subsequent computerized consultation, patients are able to view their current tooth position; learn how invisalign treatment will correct their misalignment over time; and ultimately"see what their orthodontic results will be when treatment is complete. From here, patients can discuss and set a treatment plan and time-frame with their dentist.
