Who Is A Good Candidate?
If you’re facing a moderate overbite or crooked teeth and looking to get clear braces in Irving, Invisalign might be the perfect solution for you. Most candidates for this orthodontic treatment are adults between the ages of 20 and 80 who are looking to straighten their smile. If you’re facing any of the following dental issues, then you might be a good candidate for Invisalign:
- Gaps in your teeth.
- Mild to moderately crooked teeth.
- Mild to moderate overbites or underbites.
- Crowded teeth.
- Protruding teeth.
Candidate Restrictions
Unfortunately, Invisalign would not work well for teens and adults with severely crooked teeth or problems with the muscles supporting their teeth when they bite down. Neuromuscular bite issues can lead to very painful dental problems, especially if they’re not addressed, and you pursue orthodontic treatment through removable aligners.
While this can be disheartening news for some who wish to opt for Invisalign over traditional braces, it doesn’t mean you cannot have a beautifully straight smile. Our orthodontists will give you the same level of care we provide to our Invisalign patients, to ensure your treatment aligns your teeth effectively.
The Process Of Invisalign®: Aligning Your Teeth
To achieve the beautiful smile you’re looking for, you’ll need to wear your clear aligners for at least 22 hours per day and be in good oral health. Our dental office will be in constant contact with you to ensure your Invisalign isn’t causing severe discomfort and to straighten your teeth accordingly.
All of your check-ups as you progress to different sets of aligners will be as detailed as if you were wearing brackets and wires of traditional braces. Outside of these appointments, it’s vital for the patient to attend routine dental care visits, brush and floss their teeth thoroughly, and clean the aligners daily.
There are no restrictions on eating and drinking, but it is just as important to pay attention to the acidic and sugary foods and beverages you are consuming. Taking extra care of your oral hygiene while wearing your aligners will help you achieve straight teeth even faster.
