This blog is all about how Invisalign aligners are created and how they can help.
For a few people, hiding their smiles is a way to live. When they do smile, those people often do everything they can to help make sure their lips stay together so their teeth aren’t ever exposed. Whether you are a teenager or an adult, it is a hard decision. Do you want to keep hiding your smile, or should you talk to your dentist about treatment options to help fix your crooked teeth? If you go with the latter route, you might already be dreading the inevitable referral to your orthodontist and the metal braces you are sure to get. Consider visiting dentists that specialize in Invisalign. Read on to learn how these clear aligners are created!
SmartTrack Materials
Invisalign aligners are similar to clear braces that are made to push misplaced teeth into the correct position. Like conventional braces, Invisalign aligners will reposition your teeth as time passes. Unlike traditional braces that are made with metal, Invisalign is created with SmartTrack materials. Given the material they are made with, Invisalign aligners are snug around your teeth, making them both gentle and comfortable. Due to their snug fit, these aligners remain in control of your teeth movements throughout the treatment. Thanks to the way they are made, Invisalign could expedite treatment time up to 50 percent when compared to competitors, and they can straighten teeth with around 75 percent more predictability.
Custom Fits
While Invisalign is a treatment for imperfect teeth that is accessible, each patient’s treatment is customized. At the beginning of your treatment, your Invisalign dentist or orthodontist can take detailed X-rays, pictures, and impressions of your teeth. Based on these photos, a 3D photograph of your teeth will be made so your medical provider can create an individual treatment plan for you that involves customized Invisalign aligners. Before your Invisalign aligners are created, your dentist will talk to you about the end results your plan will produce. Once you approve the expected results, the production of your Invisalign aligners will start. After they are made, your aligners will then be examined for quality and trimmed to fit your gum line very closely.
