Invisalign Adult
In the current age of digital dentistry and the use of dental digital scanning, we regularly treat patients using the Invisalign clear aligner techniques.
We have the latest version of The Itero Element Digital Scanning Unit for fast and easy scanning of the dental patients to create 3-D dental images in minutes. This improves diagnosis and treatment and allows for easier patient education. The Itero speeds up the process versus physical models needing to be sent to the lab. The Itero scanning unit is integrated with the Invisalign Orthodontic Technique offered at Wing Dental.
What is Invisalign?
The Invisalign system is the virtually invisible way to straighten your teeth and achieve the smile you’ve always dreamed of. Using advanced 3-D computer-imaging technology, Invisalign depicts your complete treatment plan, from the initial position of your teeth to the final desired position. Then a series of clear aligners are custom-made for your teeth – and your teeth only – to move them little by little. Each aligner is worn for about one to two weeks before being replaced by the next in the series until the final position of your teeth is achieved. Your treatment time will be determined by your doctor, based on your specific needs.
What are the primary benefits of Invisalign?
Invisalign aligners are practically clear. No one may even notice that you’re wearing these virtually invisible “braces,” making Invisalign a seamless fit with your lifestyle and day-to-day interactions with others.
Invisalign is removable. Unlike braces, you have the flexibility to eat and drink what you want during treatment by simply removing the aligners. The aligners can also be removed to brush and floss as you normally would for fresh breath and good oral hygiene.
Unlike braces, there are no metal brackets or wires with the Invisalign system that could cause irritation to your mouth. Since your office visits during treatment don’t involve metal or wire adjustments, you’ll likely spend less time in the doctor’s chair.
And finally, Invisalign allows you to view your virtual results and treatment plan before you start so you can see how your straight teeth will look when your treatment is complete.
