Invisalign Glendale

WHAT IS INVISALIGN?

Invisalign is a revolutionary treatment to align and straighten teeth in a more comfortable way. Unlike traditional braces, these aligners are invisible and are completely custom made to allow for gradual straightening of teeth without the use of brackets or wires.

The aligners are worn for a period of a week for up to 20 to 22 hours per day. They are removed only when you need to brush, eat or when playing rigorous sports. The aligners are designed to put precise amounts of pressure on the right spots to bring about the alignment desired. The aligner rotates or shifts teeth horizontally or vertically as needed to straighten them. Every two weeks, the aligners are changed to match the new position until the final result required is achieved.

At Smile Dental Practice, Dr. Edik Haghverdian has extensive experience offering various forms of the best Invisalign Glendale has available including Invisalign braces, Invisalign Lite, and Invisalign i7.

WHAT DOES THE PROCEDURE INVOLVE?

If you are considering Invisalign, it is important to schedule a consultation and full examination to determine whether this treatment is right for you. With over 21 years of extensive experience in various dental procedures, the team at Smile Dental Practice is well equipped even the toughest cases with some of the best Invisalign Glendale has to offer its residents. Sometimes, if the extent of misalignment of teeth is very severe, we may advise other remedial treatments before you can take up Invisalign. During the initial consultation you will have a chance to get all questions answered and we will take the time to ensure you are fully informed regarding the Invisalign course of treatment.

Our team of dental professionals will draw up a complete, personalized treatment plan for you after carefully evaluating the condition of your teeth. During the initial consultation, accurate images of your teeth are taken. These images help the doctor understand what form of Invisalign to use and the exact movements of the teeth. You can get a preview of what your teeth will look like post-Invisalign and how they will move.

After the images are taken, the custom aligners will be made using proprietary materials. The advantage Invisalign has over traditional braces is that the aligners are practically invisible, offering maximum comfort for those who are self-conscious about conventional braces. The doctor will advise you to wear the aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day and the extent of treatment will also be determined by him.

Your teeth will begin to gradually shift and align into their new position. A new set of aligners will be fitted every two weeks and complete check-ups will be scheduled by the doctor every six weeks or so, depending on your progress.

Health benefits of straightened teeth include easy-to-clean teeth that prevent decay and plaque-related problems. Well-aligned teeth also help the gums fit well around the teeth, protecting them from periodontal disease. Swollen and red gums are the result of wide spaces between teeth leading to gum disease. Invisalign helps to gently and gradually move your teeth into the proper position, closing the gaps which can lead to periodontal disease. Well-aligned teeth help prevent jaw pain and headaches associated with ‘difficulty chewing’ or gritting one’s teeth.
