How Invisalign Works
To move your teeth from where they are now to their properly aligned positions, our Encinitas dental team will create a series of custom-made clear aligners. Once they arrive at our office, we’ll show you how to take care of them and give you detailed instructions on how often to wear them. The general guideline is 20-22 hours a day, which is important because your aligners only work while you’re wearing them. Every 7-14 days, you’ll move onto the next set in the series until you’re finished!
Indications for Invisalign
If you’re interested in learning if you’re a candidate for Invisalign, we encourage you to schedule a consultation with us so we can learn all about your specific dental needs. Until then, here are three of the most common indications for clear aligners:
Crowded Teeth
Overcrowding is a very common orthodontic issue, and it’s one that can negatively impact the look, health, and function of your smile. Don’t worry – Invisalign can be used to address mild to moderate cases in an average of just 12-18 months!
Gaps Between Teeth
Whether you have one noticeable gap or small gaps throughout your smile, you’ll be happy to know that you may be a candidate for Invisalign. With a custom-made series of aligners, we can gently guide your teeth into their properly aligned positions, closing the gaps in the process.
Bite Alignment
Overbites, crossbites, and other bite problems can negatively impact your chewing habits, your speaking patterns, and even the size and shape of your teeth. The good news is that clear aligners can help patients improve both the alignment of their teeth and their bite with the addition of orthodontic accessories, like rubber bands!
