Invisalign clear aligners have become an industry standard for orthodontic treatment. These unique trays provide a nearly invisible way of addressing misaligned teeth while providing comfort and convenience. Your aligners will slowly work to straighten your teeth into the desired orientation throughout the entire treatment cycle. This is accomplished using medical-grade plastic and does not involve the use of springs, wires or metal.
How Invisalign Can Work For Your Family
BlueJay Family Dental provides families in Council Bluffs, IA, with orthodontic treatment options involving Invisalign. Thanks to the ease with which it can be used, Invisalign is often an effective option for children, adolescents, and adults with mild orthodontic problems. These clear aligner trays are smooth, making them comfortable to wear. They can also be taken out to eat and perform dental hygiene. This makes Invisalign the perfect solution for those seeking orthodontic treatment that is comfortable, effective, and convenient. These amazing clear trays are a great option for those seeking to treat:
- Gapped Teeth – If you have mild gaps in your teeth, they can lead to jaw development concerns. They can also move teeth out of place.
- Overbites – This describes a condition where the upper row of teeth extends over the lower set.
- Overcrowding – Insufficient room in the jaw can lead to dental overcrowding. The pressures involved can cause the overlapping and shifting of teeth.
- Underbites – This is essentially the inverse of an overbite. In this case, the lower jaw juts out beyond the upper jaw.
- Crossbites – When the upper and lower arch of teeth do not align properly in a left/right orientation, this is known as a crossbite.
- Open bites – If the upper and lower arches do not meet when the mouth is closed, this is medically known as an open bite.
Our Invisalign Treatment Process
Prior to undergoing treatment with BlueJay Family Dental, a complete dental exam and cleaning will be performed. During this exam, a full assessment will be performed to identify orthodontic issues you may have. When we begin the discussion of the Invisalign process, we’ll explain how the trays will be made and what your next steps will be. The process will begin with a digital impression being taken of the patient’s teeth. This, in turn, will be sent to Invisalign, where they will begin to create the tray aligners that will work to create the beautiful smile you’ve always dreamed of.
During your treatment with Invisalign Clear Aligners, it’s important that the trays are worn consistently for 22-24 hours out of every day. While the aligners can be removed while eating, it’s important that they are out for no more than two cumulative hours out of any given day.
