Clear Aligner Dentist in Southampton, PA

Dentists utilize the Invisalign® system to shift and realign your teeth gently. First, we will need an impression to create a personalized aligner tray made from SmartTrack technology which securely snaps into place.

While every Invisalign® patient may require a different treatment plan, Invisalign® endorses the use of trays which you will switch out every 10-14 days. We understand that some patients believe that braces hinder your lifestyle choices which is why Invisalign® is the ideal choice because the treatment is 50 times faster than regular brace realignment.

Treatment plans vary between six and eighteen months based on the results of a careful analysis. On average, patients use Invisalign® for about twelve months. However, each plan takes into consideration each patient’s alignment requirements.

Patients who exhibit good oral health practices and have alignment problems typically qualify for this type of system. Invisalign® is most suitable for patients who have the following:

• Crooked Teeth
• Crowding and Spacing
• Gaps
• Structural misalignment
• Open Bite
• Overbites
• Underbites
• Crossbites

While more than five million patients have successfully used Invisalign, some people who have extensive alignment issues may not be a candidate, which is the most critical difference between transparent and metal brace systems.

You are not required to wear the aligners all day and night. For the most significant results, our dentist regularly recommends that patients wear aligner trays at least 22 hours daily. You do not wear them when eating, drinking, or maintaining your teeth, but you will need to wear them when sleeping.

There are critical differences between Invisalign and treatment plans that require metal fittings.

• The Invisalign® system is aesthetically-pleasing while metal braces often make people feel self-conscious about their appearance.
• Invisalign does not use brackets as our aligners snap into place.
• Clear, plastic trays provide more comfort than metal brackets.
• Invisalign® patients experience an accelerated realignment of more than 50% when they use the one-week aligner tray system instead of the traditional two-week system.
• The aligners comfortably snap on and off.
• Invisalign customizes each aligner based on the parameters of your gum line so that it increases usability and comfortability.
• There are no worries about a broken band or bracket occurring.
• Parents can track their teen’s compliance as Invisalign incorporates a blue aligner to follow how long the aligners are worn.
• Invisalign provides a six-month guarantee as well as a refitting with another system if you are not satisfied with the results.
