Invisalign in Barrio La Palmera

Invisalign has become a very popular alternative to metal brackets. Unlike metal braces that stay cemented onto your teeth for a long period of time. Invisalign is a series of detachable clear plastic aligners that guide your teeth into its proper position and alignment. Other advantages of the use of Invisalign are:

• Comfort - since it is made of thin and flexible plastic, it will not irritate the soft tissues in your mouth unlike metal braces and its metal wires.
• Better oral hygiene and Greater Dietary choices - At any stage of the treatment you can remove the aligners to allow yourself to eat and also to Brush your teeth at least twice daily.
• Discreet look - Invisalign is an invisible plastic material that will go unnoticed on your teeth once you use it.
• Teeth-Grinding Protection - it can also function as a nightguard that can protect your teeth from excessive grinding and clenching habits.

One important thing to know is that, although Invisalign is one alternative option to traditional braces, it is not for everyone. A clear aligner is usually used on patients who have moderately crowded teeth or have minor spacing issues on their teeth. Furthermore, because it is custom-built to be a tight fit, it is best used for adults or teens. Patients who have more serious spacing problems and crowded teeth, including patients who have severe overbites, under-bites or cross-bites will require a more intricate treatment.

Since this is a non-invasive procedure, you may return to your holiday immediately after you have received your first set of clear aligners. However, strict compliance with your scheduled appointments with your orthodontist is essential. You will be required to see the dentist a few times during your stay so you should be aiming to stay in Barrio La Palmera for as long as possible, with 2 weeks being the absolute minimum.

The number of clear aligners you will be using will depend on the complexity of your treatment plan. During your first stage of aligners, expect some discomfort in the first few days while your teeth are still adjusting. You may return back to your daily routine straight after your first treatment plan procedure as there is no downtime.

Your treatment time will also be based on how much your teeth need to be properly aligned. Typically, patients are required to use Invisalign from ten to twenty-four months.

You should avoid hot drinks while wearing the Invisalign since it is made from clear plastic, it can be deformed by hot liquids, any flavored drink, any drink that contains sugar and/or acidic can form cavities and/or stain the Invisalign.

It’s best that you remove your aligners each time you eat, plaque and food particles can get trapped in your aligners. This will lead to the formation of cavities and bad breath, so it is very important that you brush your teeth after every meal.

While Invisalign is a great alternative to straighten your teeth and to have that perfect smile you are aiming for, some people may not be able to afford the treatment. The good news is that there is an alternative to clear aligners, such as Clear Correct - this also makes use of clear plastic aligners to straighten your teeth. The total cost for this type of aligner is usually cheaper than Invisalign. However, Invisalign uses top-notch planning software to determine your treatment plan, making it much easier to attain a successful result.
