Crooked, malposition, or crowded teeth can distort your smile and make it difficult for you to eat. Invisalign teeth aligners can correct these issues giving you an attractive smile and reducing your risk of serious dental issues. If you want to straighten your smile, San Leandro Invisalign® should be your ultimate choice. Below are Invisalign alternatives:
ClearCorrect™
ClearCorrect is a renowned brand of clear aligners that straighten teeth and resolve bite problems. They are made from clear, thermoplastic material; your provider customizes them to ensure they fit comfortably. These aligners are almost invisible, making it difficult for people to know you’re undergoing orthodontic treatment. Additionally, you can remove them when eating and brushing, making them easy to clean. During your consultation, your provider will develop a personalized treatment plan and give a series of custom-made ClearCorrect aligners that will gradually shift your teeth to the correct position. The length of time you need to wear these aligners depends on the severity of your dental issues, but most people experience remarkable results within 6-18 months.
SureSmile®
This cutting-edge orthodontic treatment uses robotic wire bending, computer simulation, and 3D imaging to create personalized braces. Your doctor will first scan your teeth and gums and use the scan to create a 3D model of your mouth, showing how your teeth will shift over time. The robotic wire-ending technology will create personalized archwires that will shift your teeth into the desired position more precisely than traditional braces. One upside of this treatment is that it can significantly reduce treatment time because the computer simulation allows your provider to determine the movement of your teeth more accurately. Additionally, SureSmile requires fewer visits than traditional braces.
Preparation for Invisalign
The process of getting Invisalign is simple, meaning that it requires little preparation. Your doctor will give preparation instructions during your initial appointment. They may recommend cleaning your teeth thoroughly, and if you have any dental issues like gum disease or cavities, they may provide treatment before beginning your Invisalign treatment. You must also commit to wearing your aligners at least 22 hours a day to achieve the desired result. Proper preparation and adherence to your doctor’s instructions can help you achieve your dream smile.
What to expect during an Invisalign treatment
During your first visit at Davidson Dental Group, your provider may perform an oral exam, review your dental health history, and discuss your goals and expectations. If you have mild dental issues like overlapping or crooked teeth, the team may take digital scans of your teeth and feed them into a computer program. The program allows them to customize your treatment plan and can predict the movement of your teeth over time. Afterward, Dr. Davidson will explain the procedure and send the scans to an off-site lab to customize your aligners. Once they are ready, you will return to the practice to pick them up. Your provider will schedule follow-up appointments every two to three weeks to monitor your progress. The aligners will gradually shift your teeth into the correct place, transforming your smile.
