What Exactly is the Invisalign System?
The Invisalign system is a set of almost invisible and clear trays that you wear in your mouth for about 22 hours a day. The trays gently hold the teeth into better alignment. Every week you will change to a new set of trays for your teeth to progressively move the teeth into the finished position, correcting a lot of dental alignment problems. Only specially qualified and trained dentists could fit patients with Invisalign. These dentists have scanning equipment used to take various pictures and scans of your mouth for the Invisalign creaters to make customized aligner trays that will precisely fit your teeth. The fit of the aligner trays is important since the trays need to make slow adjustments to your set of teeth. These subtle movements will minimize discomfort and maximize results. The hallmark of the Invisalign system is the use of clear trays that other can’t see. It’s a good alternative to metal braces for a lot of people who will adhere closely to wearing trays for around 20 to 22 hours each day throughout the treatment process.
Could Any Person Use Invisalign?
Invisalign is not the best solution for each patient. Our dentists at Catonsville Dental Care will let you know if you’re a good candidate for Invisalign. Typically, teens, adults, and tweens with bite and alignment problems are the best groups to use this system since they’re the most compliant with wearing trays. For correcting any bite problems, like overbite, teens are the best group for treatment because Invisalign could help fix the bite during growth to ensure correct alignment into adulthood. Adults can have overbites fixed with Invisalign but might require longer treatments.
What’s Overbite?
A lot of people have an overbite when the top teeth overlap with the front teeth. A few people with an excessive overbite might also have “deep bites.” Dentists evaluate overbites by percentage, and some are normal, but too high of a percentage means you may need Invisalign to fix it.
