Invisalign treatment times vary by patient and depend on the complexity of your orthodontic needs and goals. Sometimes, it may take two years or longer to align your smile, while in others, it may take only a few months. However, the average treatment time is 18 months.
Your dentist will assess your teeth before starting treatment and let you know how long you’ll need aligner therapy.
Invisalign in Charlotte, NC, can correct the following orthodontic issues:
- Bite misalignment problems, including the overbite
- Twisted, crooked, protruding, and overlapping teeth
- Wide gaps or unusual spacing between teeth
- Getting Started with Invisalign® Clear Aligners
First, you should visit our office for a thorough consultation with our Invisalign dentist. This includes x-rays and a chat about your goals. If you proceed with treatment, the dentist takes impressions of your teeth. The Invisalign lab uses the results to create your clear aligners.
You wear each set of aligners for a predetermined period, usually two weeks, before moving on to the next set. When you finish your aligners, treatment is over. However, wearing your custom retainer is essential to maintain your new smile.
The Benefits of Invisalign
There are no eating restrictions, as you can briefly remove your aligners to eat and clean your teeth. Additionally, Invisalign is virtually invisible, with no metal or wires. You’ll appreciate the smooth plastic, which doesn’t weigh down your mouth or feel bulky.
With your teeth straightened, you can enjoy productive oral hygiene sessions and a more comfortable smile due to your aligned bite.
Yes, Invisalign is about more than aesthetics. It also promotes better dental health!
