Why Our Patients Love Invisalign
Using a series of custom-made, Invisalign aligner trays, the Invisalign system gradually shifts your teeth into place without the pain of metal braces. This innovative orthodontic treatment has already successfully helped over four million Invisalign patients. So why do so many people love Invisalign clear aligners? Here are a few of our favorite things about this treatment:- It is invisible. This system is great for both teens and adults because Invisalign is virtually invisible. These Invisaalign clear aligners eliminate the need for bulky metal brackets on your teeth, so you can straighten your smile discretely.
- You can remove your aligners at any time. Eating, brushing your teeth, and flossing are so much easier with the Invisalign system. You can take your aligner trays out whenever necessary, making them much more comfortable and convenient.
- It is more efficient than most other orthodontic methods. Straightening your teeth with Invisalign is actually 50 percent quicker than other systems. When used correctly, patients begin to notice changes in their smile within a matter of weeks.
- It is highly convenient. Using the Invisalign system is incredibly easy. You’ll have your new clear aligner trays delivered directly to your door every two weeks, and your Invisalign dentist will only need to check in on your progress every four to six weeks at our Chicago office.
- It is comfortable. Without the need for metal braces and wires, Invisalign is actually much more comfortable than braces—and safer! No metal device on your teeth means you won’t need to worry about cutting your lips or cheeks while wearing them.
How We Can Help
The Invisalign process is quicker and simpler than you might think. Here are a few steps you can take to a straighter, perfect smile:- Schedule your initial consultation. In order to begin the Invisalign treatment process, your dentist at Downtown Dental in Chicago IL will do an examination to determine whether or not clear removable aligners are right for you. Invisalign in Chicago can treat a wide array of orthodontic issues— including overcrowding, malformed bites, gaps, misalignment, and more— so if you’re in generally good health and free of gum disease, it is probable that this system will be beneficial to you.
- Get fitted for your custom aligners. Your Invisalign trays are made specifically for your teeth, so there are a few steps your dentist will need to take for these custom-made trays to be manufactured. This includes taking dental impressions of your mouth, x-rays, photographs, and making a record of your bite to ensure your clear aligner trays fit perfectly. This is a crucial step in the Invisalign process, as it ensures the best possible results.
- Follow your Invisalign treatment plan. With clear braces, you will receive a new set of invisible custom aligners every two weeks to accommodate aligner changes and gradually move your teeth into place. Be certain to wear your clear removable aligners for at least 20-22 hours every day, and only really take them out for eating, brushing, and flossing if possible. You will set up appointments with your dentist at Downtown Dental in Chicago IL every six weeks, which will allow us to track your progress. By following your dentist’s instructions for use and maintenance, you’ll begin seeing results in no time!
- Enjoy your results. You’ll love your newly straightened perfect smile. After your treatment is complete, your dentist will work with you to create a custom-made retainer. This will allow you to enjoy the results for the rest of your life!
