Invisalign is ideal for aligning crooked teeth, closing gaps in your smile, and correcting bite concerns like an overbite as long as it's not too complicated. More complex bite issues might require traditional braces or surgery to correct.
Here's what you should know about clear braces in Goffstown, NH.
How Does Invisalign Work?
Invisalign uses clear plastic, BPA-free aligners to gently move your teeth into position instead of metal brackets and wires. Patients wear the aligners for at least 22 hours a day and change them every two to three weeks, depending on the treatment plan Dr. Leonardi creates for them.
The Advantages of Invisalign
Invisalign offers several advantages over traditional braces that patients love:
- Freedom - Patients can enjoy all the foods they love with no restrictions.
- Ease - Brushing and flossing your teeth during treatment with Invisalign is simple because you can remove your aligners.
- Discretion - The best part of Invisalign for most patients is that no one will notice you're straightening your teeth.
- Effectiveness - Most patients can finish their treatment with Invisalign in 12 to 18 months, depending on their needs.
How Can I Clean My Invisalign Aligners?
Aligners are easy to maintain. You'll remove them for meals, and you can keep them clean by brushing or rinsing them at night. Brushing them gently with your toothbrush and some non-abrasive toothpaste helps keep them fresh after the day's use.
