What are Invisalign aligners?

Invisalign clear aligners provide a comfortable, discreet way for older teens and adults to achieve healthy, well-aligned smiles without the hassle, embarrassment or lengthy treatment times of traditional metal braces. Custom-made from BPA-acrylic, Invisalign aligners fit tightly over top and bottom teeth, gradually moving them into better positions.

For mild to moderate orthodontic problems, Invisalign aligners fix:

• Tooth rotation
• Cross bite
• Underbite
• Overbite
• Open bite
• Teeth that have drifted after previous orthodontic correction
• Many aesthetic and alignment issues

Unlike metal or ceramic wire and bracket braces, Invisalign appliances are so thin and clear they are practically invisible. They are perfect for professionals and any patient wanting a new smile without being obvious about treatment.

What are Invisalign’s other advantages?

Dr. Gaitsgory evaluates patients for Invisalign by using oral examination, x-rays and sophisticated 3-D imaging. She sends treatment instructions to the Invisalign laboratory where technicians fabricate 18 to 30 pairs of aligners. Patients wear their appliances for 20 to 22 hours a day, changing them every 2 weeks or so as prescribed.

In addition to their discreet appearance, Invisalign aligners are completely removable for daily brushing and flossing. Patients do not endure the complex oral hygiene routines that traditional orthodontic patients do. Plus, they enjoy the healthy foods they always have as there are no brackets to dislodge or wires to break. Meals and snacks are taken without aligners and simply replaced after brushing.

Besides day-to-day advantages, the Invisalign system benefits the teen and adult lifestyle. Because aligners are removable, patients take out aligners for proms, weddings, job interviews and professional presentations.

And, individuals spend less time in the dental chair. They simply come to Framingham Premier Dental every 6 weeks for fast progress checks and to pick-up their next sets of aligners. There are no complicated adjustments. In fact, patients report that their teeth and gums are comfortable during treatment, without the sore spots on gums and other soft tissues common to life with metal braces.

On average, Invisalign treatment takes about 9 to 18 months, with a year being typical. That’s half the time of traditional orthodontics.

Think you are too old to fix your smile?

Think again! Invisalign is one of today’s most popular cosmetic/restorative dental treatments. Not only can adults and teens enjoy the self-confidence of beautiful smiles, they reap the benefits of teeth that bite together well, wear better and are less prone to decay and gum disease.
