Have you ever thought about improving your smile with Orthodontics<\/a>? Have you seen commercials about Invisalign on television and wondered…could this really work for me? We sat down with Dr. Bakhtyari<\/a>\u00a0to get our top 10 questions\u00a0about Invisalign treatment answered.\u00a0Here’s what we uncovered….<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Q: What is Invisalign?<\/strong>
    \n<\/strong>A:     Invisalign<\/a> is the invisible way to straighten teeth without braces. Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually straighten teeth, without metal or wires.<\/li>\n
  2. Q: How does Invisalign work?<\/strong>
    \nA: Invisalign uses 3-D computer imaging technology to depict the complete treatment plan from the initial position to the final desired position from which a series of custom-made, clear \u201caligners\u201d are produced. Each \u201caligner\u201d moves teeth incrementally and is worn for about two weeks, then replaced by the next in the series until the final position is achieved.<\/li>\n
  3. Q: What are the primary benefits of Invisalign?<\/strong>
    \nA: Invisalign is clear. You can straighten your teeth without anyone knowing.\u00a0Invisalign is removable. Unlike braces, you can eat and drink what you want during treatment. You can also brush and floss normally to maintain good oral hygiene.\u00a0Invisalign is comfortable. There are no metal brackets or wires as with braces to cause mouth irritation, and no metal or wires means you spend less time in the doctor\u2019s chair getting adjustments.\u00a0Invisalign allows you to view your own virtual treatment plan before you start\u2014so you can see how your straight teeth will look when your treatment is complete.<\/li>\n
  4. What do aligners look like?<\/strong>
    \nA: Aligners are clear and look similar to     tooth-whitening<\/a> trays, but are custom-made for a better fit to move teeth.\u00a0One way to look at it is contact lenses for the teeth!<\/li>\n
  5. Will the treatment be painful?<\/strong>
    \nA: Most people experience temporary discomfort for a few days at the beginning of each new stage of treatment. This is normal and is typically described as a feeling of pressure. It is a sign that Invisalign is working\u2014sequentially moving your teeth to their final destination. This discomfort typically goes away a couple of days after you insert the new aligner in the series.<\/li>\n
  6. Will wearing Invisalign aligners affect my speech?<\/strong>
    \nA: Like all orthodontic treatments, aligners may temporarily affect your speech and you may have a slight lisp for a day or two. As\u00a0your tongue gets used to having aligners in your mouth, any lisp caused by the aligners should disappear.<\/li>\n
  7. Are there restrictions on what I can eat while in treatment?<\/strong>
    \nA: No. Unlike traditional wires and brackets, you can eat whatever you want\u00a0while in treatment because you remove your aligners to eat and drink\u00a0so there’s\u00a0no need to restrict your consumption of any of your favorite foods and snacks. Also, it’s\u00a0important that you brush your teeth after each meal and prior to re-inserting your aligners to maintain proper hygiene.<\/li>\n
  8. How often must I wear my aligners?<\/strong>
    \nA: Your aligners should be worn all day, except when eating, brushing and flossing.<\/li>\n
  9. How often must I see you?\u00a0<\/strong>
    \nA: With typical cases you’ll need to see me\u00a0about once every 4-6 weeks. This is the only way the I\u00a0can be sure that your treatment is progressing as planned.<\/li>\n
  10. What happens after treatment to prevent my teeth from moving again?<\/strong>
    \n<\/strong>A: This depends on the outcome of the treatment. Some patients might need a positioner, or conventional retainer. Other patients might need a clear plastic retainer similar to the ones Invisalign makes. We can discuss these possibilities together.\u00a0Every patient is different and outcomes vary.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
