Imagine getting that amazing smile you’ve always wanted without having to wear braces! Many people avoid orthodontic treatment altogether because they fear the thought of traditional metal brackets and wires, or they feel that braces will be too uncomfortable for them. With today’s technology, there is a virtually invisible solution - Invisalign!
Kapadia Orthodontics provides this innovative treatment for patients who want straighter teeth—but in a discreet way. Our Invisalign procedures in Oviedo, Florida use a series of clear removable aligners to treat crooked teeth and misaligned bites, giving you the smile you’ve always wanted.
What's Invisalign and How it Works?
Invisalign® treatment services in Oviedo involves a series of custom-made plastic aligners that you place on your teeth. Your teeth gradually shift into their planned positions as you progress through the aligner stages. They are comfortable, removable, and lack metal. Because the aligners are removable, you can still enjoy all the foods you used to before you started treatment. As opposed to traditional treatment, you won’t have to worry about food getting stuck between braces and appliances. Most importantly, the aligners must be worn about 22 hours a day, removed only during eating, drinking, or brushing.
Who Qualifies as a Candidate?
Not everyone can use Invisalign to straighten their teeth. While clear retainers are a good option for adults and teens with minor orthodontic concerns, kids will require traditional appliances.
Consulting with our Invisalign dentist in Oviedo, FL can help determine if you’re a good candidate for the treatment.
How Long Do I have to Wear It?
Invisalign, among others, is a registered trademark of Align Technology, Inc.
The trays are normally worn at 2-week intervals until the series is completed, and you’ll visit the office about every 6 weeks to make sure you are tracking as planned. You’ll also be able to view your own virtual treatment plan online. This will allow you to see how your teeth will look when you have completed the treatment.
Will It Affect My Lifestyle?
Yes, wearing these clear aligners will affect daily routines, but the change is only minimal. Since it’s easy to remove, there are no dietary restrictions; you are free to remove the trays before a meal.
Our Oviedo, FL Invisalign dentist, however, strongly discourages patients from chewing gum or smoking for the entire duration of the treatment. Doing so compromises the quality of your aligners.
