What is Invisalign®?

Invisalign® is a modern orthodontic treatment using custom, clear alignment trays to straighten teeth and correct alignment or spacing issues. Invisalign® offers a comfortable, effective alternative to traditional, metal braces.

What are the benefits of Invisalign®?

Patients who choose Invisalign® enjoy the benefits of straight, attractive teeth without the discomfort and embarrassment of wearing metal braces. Invisalign® is a preferred teeth-straightening solution for many adults who suffer from crowded teeth, spacing issues or bite alignment issues, such as overbite, underbite or a crossbite. The most obvious benefit of Invisalign® treatments at our Plano, TX, dentist office is the near invisibility of the alignment trays! For patients wanting a discreet approach to orthodontic treatment, Invisalign® may be for you.

Other benefits of Invisalign® orthodontic treatments include:

See Results More Quickly

With Invisalign®, patients typically achieve desired results within 12 to 18 months as opposed to the average 24 month treatment period required for metal braces. Certain cases require even less time. To determine how long your Invisalign® treatment would take, request an appointment with Plano dentist, Dr. Scott Thompson, today.

Greater Comfort

Traditional metal braces are known to irritate the soft tissues in the mouth, including gums, cheeks and the tongue. With Invisalign® clear aligners, the smooth, plastic trays are custom-fitted to your mouth and intentionally designed to minimize discomfort and soft-tissue irritation.

Minimal Maintenance

Invisalign® clear aligners offer the benefits of straighter teeth without the complexity and time-consuming process of cleaning between metal wires and brackets. Clear aligners by Invisalign® can simply be cleaned daily with lukewarm water and a soft-bristled brush. When cleaning your aligners, be careful not to use hot water, which could distort the shape of the trays, or toothpaste, which can be abrasive on the trays.

Additionally, with Invisalign® clear aligners, patients can maintain normal oral and dental hygiene routines.

No Dietary Restrictions

For many patients, the primary benefit of Invisalign® treatments is this simple fact: Invisalign® does not require dietary restrictions. With traditional metal braces, many foods become off-limits and other foods require additional cleaning regimens in order to effectively clean the teeth and gums. Because Invisalign® clear aligner trays are removable, patients undergoing treatment can simply remove the trays to eat normally then replace the trays immediately following a meal.

While you can eat and drink normally during your Invisalign® treatment, Dr. Thompson does recommend avoiding excessive amounts of sugary or acidic foods and beverages. Also, patients should brush after each meal and before placing the aligners back in the mouth. Otherwise residue and food particles may get trapped onto the teeth by the aligner trays.
