Thinking about getting Invisalign? You're not alone! This nearly invisible alternative to traditional braces is transforming smiles all over the world. At Flatiron Dental in New York, NY, Dr. Arti Jagirdar and her team believe in providing comprehensive care and helping you understand every aspect of your treatment. This blog will serve as your guide to Invisalign, covering everything from the basics to tips for making the most of your journey.
Invisalign didn't just pop up on the scene - it was the pioneer of clear aligner technology. This means they've had years of research and development under their belt, making them the experts in the field. While other brands have joined the market, Invisalign is still the go-to choice for good reason.
The beauty of Invisalign lies in its gentle, gradual approach to tooth movement. It's like a mini-makeover for your smile! Each set of aligners, which you'll wear for about two weeks each, moves your teeth a tiny bit - just a quarter of a millimeter. That means after four sets (about a month's worth of wearing), you've already moved a tooth a whole millimeter. It's slow and steady, but the results are impressive!
Those first appointments may seem a bit overwhelming, but at Flatiron Dental, we make the process as smooth as possible.
Your initial appointment is all about getting to know you and your smile. The team will take impressions of your teeth, snap a few photos, and have a consultation with you to discuss your goals and expectations. This helps to create a clear roadmap for achieving your desired smile.
Invisalign treatment typically lasts anywhere from 6 to 18 months, varying depending on individual needs. Think of it as a journey towards a more confident you! Dr. Jagirdar will be with you every step of the way, ensuring you understand the process and feel comfortable.
Here are some crucial aspects that contribute to successful Invisalign treatment:
Alright, let's talk about something really important: wearing time. Remember that Invisalign is removable – that's why it's so convenient, right? But it's crucial to wear those aligners for the recommended 20-22 hours a day. That means wearing them all the time, except for eating, brushing, and flossing.
Why is this so important? Because it helps your teeth move efficiently and on schedule. Think of it as a commitment to your future smile. If you're not wearing them often enough, your treatment might take longer, or you might even need re-treatment. It's a bit like going to the gym – the more you put in, the better the results!
Let's dive a little deeper into the details of your Invisalign journey:
A common question is: "Can Invisalign give me the same results as veneers?" The answer is, sometimes it can! Here's the thing:
