Orthodontics - INVISALIGN®
Invisible orthodontics
Invisalign® is a revolutionary approach to orthodontics that straightens teeth discreetly and comfortably, without traditional wires and brackets. This treatment uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually align teeth.
Benefits of Invisalign treatment:
- Invisibility: Invisalign aligners are transparent and virtually invisible, allowing you to correct your smile without anyone noticing.
- Comfort: Unlike wires and brackets, Invisalign aligners are smooth and do not irritate cheeks and lips. They are also removable to make brushing your teeth and eating food easier.
- Effectiveness: Invisalign can treat a wide variety of orthodontic problems, including misaligned teeth, gaps between teeth, and bite problems.
- Personalized Monitoring: Each aligner is specially designed for your needs, and your progress is closely monitored by Dr. Feldman.
What are the stages of Invisalign treatment?
Invisalign treatment follows several steps to obtain a well-aligned and esthetic smile.
1. Initial consultation : During your first consultation, we will assess your oral situation, take photographs, digital impressions of your teeth, and discuss your treatment goals.
2. Personalized Treatment Plan : Dr. Feldman works with Invisalign to create a personalized treatment plan. This plan determines how your teeth will gradually move to achieve the desired alignment.
3. Fabrication of the aligners : Depending on the treatment plan, a series of transparent, custom-made aligners will be manufactured. Each tray is slightly different to gradually move your teeth.
4. Continuous wearing of aligners : You will need to wear your aligners at all times, except when eating* and brushing your teeth. Each set is worn for approximately 7-10 days before moving on to the next one, as needed.
* In some cases, it is suggested to eat with Invisalign aligners.
5. Follow-up visits : ou will meet regularly with Dr. Feldman to check your progress and receive new sets of aligners. These visits are essential to ensure that treatment is going as planned.
6. Results and maintenance : Once treatment is completed, the aim is to maintain your teeth in their new position. To do this, a lingual wire is permanently installed on the upper and lower front teeth and you will use a Vivera® retention splint. Minor touch-ups may be necessary to refine the results.
If you have implants, crowns, veneers or have undergone gingivoplasty, additional treatments will be necessary to achieve optimal results.
