Dental hygiene tips for healthy teeth & gums
Can Invisalign intrude teeth?
Yes, Invisalign can intrude on teeth. Intrusion is the process of moving teeth up (or down for bottom teeth). Invisalign intrudes teeth by placing “attachments” or “buttons” on adjacent teeth. These attachments provide something for the aligner to grip while applying upward pressure to intrude teeth into your jawbone.
How Long Does Invisalign Take To Work?
Treatment time with Invisalign is determined by the case’s complexity. Minor changes can take as little as two to three months to complete. It can take years for severe cases to be resolved.
Adults with crowded teeth should expect to remain in treatment for 12 to 18 months on average.
Your treatment time will be cut to half if you keep your aligners on for 22 hours a day and follow all of your dentist’s instructions. Treatment will take longer if you don’t follow the instructions.
Will Invisalign prove to be an effective solution?
Yes. Invisalign does an excellent job. The aligners may carry out several tooth movements, from the most basic to the most advanced.
Invisalign works similarly to braces in that it applies pressure to the teeth. It differs from typical braces in that it pushes rather than pulls the patient’s teeth.
Why Choose Invisalign?
Invisalign is the latest method of teeth straightening. They are even more comfortable than traditional braces. Maintaining your dental hygiene will also become easy for you with Invisalign. Dentists may now scan your teeth non-invasively and construct a pair of aligners that will gradually move your teeth to the proper position using innovative scanning technology. The aligners are made of medical-grade polyurethane resin and have an edge that follows the exact ridges of your teeth. Every aligner is tailored to fit your teeth perfectly, gradually shifting them into place.
