Invisalign® Clear Aligners Auburn, MAInvisalign® Clear Aligners provided by Dr. Demi Athans in Auburn, MA at D.A. Dental  Patients seeking options for bite alignment or correcting malocclusions can benefit from clear aligners that help to straighten misaligned teeth gradually, moving them to the desired, targeted position.Our Invisalign dentist at D.A. Dental will record molds or impressions of your teeth to make custom plastic aligner trays. Invisalign Aligners vs. Traditional Metal BracesInvisalign, part of the Invisalign system, differs from metal braces in that it utilizes a system of trays in place of brackets and archwires. The plastic trays are removable, but you can keep them on for at least 22 hours. Invisalign is not only inconspicuous, you can take it off when engaging in sports or while eating. Our dental specialist and team will replace the customized trays every two weeks to ensure the teeth shift into the desired position. Invisalign ProcessOur dental specialist, specializing in orthodontics, will conduct exams and take X-rays for a thorough diagnosis of your mouth. Data from the initial evaluation can help determine if you are a suitable candidate for Invisalign. Traditional braces may be more suitable for severe cases of misalignment. Your daily habits may also determine the duration of your recovery after Invisalign treatment. Our dentist will request you avoid removing the aligners for more than two hours daily. If you do not wear the aligners for at least 22 hours per day, it may lengthen the treatment period.  How To Care For Your New SmileYou also need to maintain your dental medicine and hygiene routine. Cleaning your aligners will prevent infections that may cause setbacks and delays in treatment. Use a soft-bristle brush to remove food debris from the plastic trays. Brush your teeth twice daily, and floss at least once to avoid gum inflammation. Invisalign FAQHow Long Does Invisalign Take To Work?The treatment duration may vary depending on the patient and the condition of their teeth.However, for most people, the process usually takes less than two years for teeth to move into the desired position. Results may be visible within six months of the Invisalign procedure. The process may take longer for older patients compared to children or teens. Aging makes the gum tissue less responsive to Invisalign braces. The extent of your malocclusions will also determine the duration of the treatment. Can Invisalign Fix an Overbite?Invisalign can be an alternative effective method for treating an overbite, but it also depends on the extent of the misalignment.Invisalign plastic trays may not provide adequate pressure to move teeth for patients with severe malocclusions and further orthodontic treatment from an orthodontist may be needed. What Is The Difference Between Invisalign and Clear Aligners?Clear braces work the same way as traditional braces, utilizing a system of archwires and brackets to shift teeth into the correct position.However, clear braces are generally made from an invisible translucent material or clear ceramic brackets, which complement the tooth's color.
