Invisalign Clear Aligners North Tampa

Invisalign clear aligners have revolutionized orthodontic treatment by putting the patient first in its design. These clear plastic trays are the way to straighten teeth without anyone knowing. Since we started using this in our office we have seen a big increase in patients following instructions and being happy. People can have orthodontic treatment with clear braces without having to worry what others will think, which is what people worry about with metal braces.

Invisalign transparent aligners are made with the latest technology and precision engineering. The medical-grade thermoplastic used to make each aligner keeps its transparency while applying controlled stress to specific teeth. The smooth edges and bespoke fit means you don’t have to deal with the pain and discomfort of metal brackets and wires. This comfy design makes you want to wear it all the time which has a direct impact on how well the treatment works and how long it takes.

The first step in treatment is a full digital scan that takes detailed pictures of each patient’s teeth and gums. This technology eliminates the need for impression material and makes treatment planning much more accurate. Then computer modelling simulates the whole sequence of tooth movement which lets us predict what will happen at the end of treatment. Patients love seeing their expected results which makes them feel better about the money they’ve spent on treatment.

The gradual movement of teeth during Invisalign treatment is done by changing the aligners in a sequence. Each set of clear aligners moves the teeth a little bit closer to their final position over a period of one to two weeks. This step by step process lets the supporting tissues adjust spontaneously while causing the least amount of pain. The moderate pressure is much easier to handle than the big changes that are sometimes needed with traditional orthodontic procedures.

As a patient you have to take responsibility to get the best results in the time frames set. We stress how important it is to wear the aligners for at least 20 hours a day, taking them off only for meals and brushing your teeth. This routine becomes second nature within the first week of treatment.

For most Invisalign clear aligner patients, integrating them into their daily life is easy. Professional duties go on as usual, without the self consciousness that visible orthodontic appliances can cause. Metal doesn’t get in the way of business meetings, presentations or client meetings. This professional advantage is what makes adults choose to have orthodontic work for adults who want to improve their careers and need orthodontic work.

Invisalign clear aligners are easier to maintain than regular braces. Cleaning daily means brushing gently with lukewarm water and light soap or special cleaning tablets. When you follow the right care guidelines the smooth plastic surfaces don’t get stained. Changing out your aligner sets regularly keeps your teeth clean and helps your treatment progress during the correction period.

Removable clear aligners are safer and more fun to play sports than fixed orthodontic products. Students and adult athletes can take off their aligners when playing sports which lowers the risk of getting hurt in the mouth by metal parts. Many sports medicine experts say this is the best way for those who play contact sports and need orthodontic care to get it. The flexibility lets you fully participate in both fun and competitive activities.
