Invisalign is a modern cosmetic dental treatment that uses a series of clear aligners that straighten teeth over time. Traditional orthodontics, like metal braces, use wires that can irritate the gum tissue and require appointments to tighten brackets and add new wires as needed. Clear Invisalign aligners are discreet and often more comfortable than other orthodontic treatments. At Huntsville Family Dental, we provide Invisalign to straighten teeth and create even bites in Huntsville, TX.
Invisalign in Huntsville, TX
Teenagers and adults with crooked and misaligned teeth benefit from Invisalign treatment. Invisalign can address underbites, overbites, crossbites, gaps between teeth, and other orthodontic problems.
To begin treatment, we will take dental x-rays and examine the smile. We will take scans of the smile to send to a lab, where technicians create pairs of clear Invisalign aligners. Patients will begin with their first pair of aligners and switch out their aligners for a new pair every two weeks. Each pair of aligners is slightly different and will shift the teeth into a more even, aligned position.
Because Invisalign aligners are removable, patients can brush and floss their smiles and clean their aligners separately. Patients can also eat without dietary restrictions.
After Invisalign treatment, we recommend that patients wear retainers to prevent orthodontic relapse. Orthodontic relapse occurs when patients do not wear their retainers, and the teeth begin to shift out of their straight position. Patients can care for their retainers just like Invisalign aligners.
