If you have crooked or crowded teeth but don’t want to wear traditional metal braces because you don’t think they look good or you don’t want to wear braces for a long time, the good news is that you might have an alternative option.
Ask your dentist in Randolph, NJ, for information about Invisalign clear aligners and to ask if you might be a good candidate for this tooth-straightening technology.
Who Can Wear Invisalign Clear Aligners?
If you search for “Invisalign dentist near me,” you may find the dental professionals at Randolph Dental. In our office, we custom-fit Invisalign clear aligners, sometimes called “clear braces,” for our teen and adult patients who have:
- Mild to moderate tooth crowding
- Slightly crooked teeth
- Overbite or underbite
- Slight tooth overlap
Invisalign clear aligners are like an invisible, thin mouth guard that works to gradually straighten your teeth.
How Long Do You Wear Invisalign Clear Aligners?
Your dentist will assess your teeth and determine if you are eligible for Invisalign technology. If you are a candidate, they will create a digital treatment plan using specialized software. Once the software makes a map of your teeth, an Invisalign lab will create your aligners specifically for you. Once the aligners are ready, you will return to the dentist for instructions on caring for them.
For best results, be sure to:
- Wear your aligners twenty-two hours daily, removing them only to eat, brush, and floss.
- Switch to a new set of aligners after two to three weeks.
- Wear your aligners as instructed by your dentist until your teeth are aligned.
- Show everyone your new and improved smile!
Treatment times vary, but the average time to wear Invisalign clear aligners is twelve to fifteen months.
