PROCEDURE OF GETTING INVISALIGN ALIGNERS – THE FOUR STEPS
Most of the time, people want to improve the appearance of their smile but hush away the idea after thinking about the metal wires and brackets they will have to wear with traditional braces. Well now, there is another option for them – Invisalign Aligners. With aligners, you do not need to wear any wires or brackets and will get aligned teeth without feeling any discomfort. Although the exact process of getting aligners varies from one patient to another, here are the general steps that you can expect during orthodontic treatment:
1. INITIAL DENTAL CONSULTATION
Once you decide to get aligners for Teeth Straightening, book an initial consultation with a dentist at Dental Aesthetics. During the consultation, a dental specialist will examine your oral health and ask about your expected results. They are likely to take an X-ray of your teeth and examine them to check for signs of tooth decay or gum disease. If the dentist thinks that you make an ideal candidate for getting aligners, they will give you an estimated time of how long will it take to give you your dream smile, as well as the treatment cost.
2. TAKING THE MOLDS
Whether during your first visit to our dental clinic or a follow-up appointment, a dentist will scan your mouth with a 3D digital scanner. The scanning will involve going over your teeth using a want that fits inside the mouth. Though don’t worry about this being uncomfortable because the scanning process is painless, and quick, and avoids the need for taking a plaster mold.
Then, the dental professional will upload your mouth’s picture on a screen where you will be able to see its 3D image. After that, a replication is built of how your teeth will look after the orthodontic treatment. To show you a picture of your future smile. Once you leave our Dental Hospital in Lahore after giving the teeth impressions on the mold, we will plan your treatment and send out the mouth scans to the laboratory.
3. FITTING THE FIRST TRAY
When the aligner trays are ready, you will have to visit our dental clinic again to get the trays fitted. The dental specialists at Dental Aesthetics use small attachments called buttons for holding the aligners in place and assisting tooth movement. Other than that, they might even put some composite into the Invisible Braces template for fitting it on the teeth. After removing, the template leaves a button-like attachment on the teeth that help the aligners in guiding the teeth into place. Though be assured that the application of these buttons is temporary and pain-free.
4. FOLLOW-UP APPOINTMENTS & NEW TRAYS
Some weeks later, the dental specialist will again examine your teeth to make sure that the tray fits properly. It is likely possible that regular appointments will be scheduled. After every four to six weeks for monitoring the progress. Other than that, every other week, you will have to swap the Teeth Aligners tray with a new one. However, the exact frequency of when you need to swap the aligners depends on the orthodontic treatment’s length and how far the teeth move.
WHO IS AN IDEAL CANDIDATE FOR INVISALIGN ALIGNERS?
Generally, we recommend patients get Invisalign Braces if they want to get slight tooth movement treated. This orthodontic treatment type is not effective when it comes to treating complex dental conditions. Such as teeth that are severely rotated or teeth dislocated partially. Conditions that aligners mostly treat include:
- Openbite
- Tooth Gaps
- Mildly Protruding Teeth
