As hectic as life can be, it’s only natural to want an orthodontic system that aligns with your busy lifestyle. That’s what you get with Invisalign! Invisalign takes the stress and discomfort out of orthodontics by providing you with removable aligners to get the job done as quickly and discreetly as possible. A visit to Dr. Munira Lokhandwala from StarBrite Dental in Fremont, California, can determine if Invisalign is right for you.
Here are some FAQs our team is often asked about Invisalign:
What is Invisalign, and how does it work?
Invisalign is the modern way to straighten your smile, using clear plastic aligners instead of metal braces to correct misalignment. Dr. Munira will use 3D computer imaging to create a treatment plan conducive to your orthodontic needs. Additionally, we will make a series of aligners specifically for your treatment. By wearing the aligners as instructed and following your treatment guidelines, your crooked teeth will gradually shift into a straighter, healthier position, giving you the beautiful smile of your dreams.
How long should I wear the aligners each day?
Ideally, we recommend wearing the aligners 22 hours per day, removing them mainly to eat and brush your teeth. Diligent aligner use will help you achieve your smile goals quicker and more effectively.
How soon will I see results with Invisalign?
The average treatment time for Invisalign is 6-12 months, although you’ll notice results much sooner. With each passing month, your smile will improve, and you’ll be able to gauge the progress made in your treatment. Dr. Munira will offer you a tentative time frame for completing your procedure during your initial consultation, although this will depend largely on your compliance with your treatment guidelines.
What problems can Invisalign correct?
Advancements in Invisalign technology have made this orthodontic treatment more effective than ever in correcting problems with crooked, uneven, and overlapping teeth, protruding teeth, malocclusion, and spacing issues. After assessing your smile, Dr. Munira can determine if you’re a good candidate for Invisalign treatment.
How does Invisalign fit into my lifestyle?
With Invisalign, you don’t have to feel awkward about your appearance as the aligners are clear and barely noticeable on your teeth. The aligners can be removed for eating, giving you the freedom to eat the foods you love and enjoy your meals. You’ll also remove the aligners for oral hygiene, enabling you to keep your teeth clean and healthy throughout your treatment. Invisalign won’t impact your busy schedule, as dental visits are fewer and farther in between. Dr. Munira may schedule checkups every 6-8 weeks to monitor your progress and ensure all is going well with your procedure.
