Invisalign in Atlanta

What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign is an orthodontic correction system that uses a series of clear plastic “aligners.” These aligners are similar in appearance to a night guard for teeth grinding, or a retainer. Each set of aligners is designed to put gentle pressure on your teeth and shift them toward a healthier, more even position.
‍
Usually, each set of aligners is worn for about 2 weeks, and you’ll come back to visit your Atlanta dentist every 4-6 weeks to get a checkup and your next several sets of aligners. Most patients can be treated with 20-24 sets of aligners, so you’ll usually be finished with your treatment in a year or less.

The Benefits of Invisalign

Unnoticeable

Your aligners will be nearly invisible and won’t affect your speech. Because of this, Invisalign is much more subtle compared to braces. Nobody has to know that you’re correcting your smile with Invisalign unless you want them to.

Removable

You can take out Invisalign to eat your favorite foods, so there are no dietary restrictions. Your aligners can also be removed to brush and floss, making proper oral hygiene easier compared to braces. You can also take out your Invisalign aligners to play sports and musical instruments, which can make them more convenient for your lifestyle.

Faster Results

Invisalign typically can provide results within a year of treatment, compared to 12-18 months or longer for traditional braces.

What Can Invisalign Treat?

Crooked & Crowded Teeth

Invisalign is most commonly used to correct the position of teeth that are crooked or crowded. It can be used to correct most tooth position issues, though it’s not as versatile as traditional orthodontics, and typically can’t be used for severely crooked and crowded teeth.

Gaps in Your Smile

Large gaps in your smile can make you feel self-conscious about your appearance. Invisalign can be used to move your teeth and close these gaps, providing you with an even smile.

Minor to Moderate Bite Alignment Issues

Invisalign cannot treat major bite problems, but it can be used to treat minor to moderate issues with your bite and tooth alignment, so it may be an option if you have a minor underbite, overbite, or other teeth alignment issues.
