Invisalign is a state-of-the-art orthodontic treatment that can provide effective teeth straightening without the shortcomings of traditional wire braces. Invisalign treatment involves the progressive use of clear aligners to shift the teeth with predictable tooth movements. These clear aligners are virtually invisible, providing a more cosmetic approach to treatment. At the same time, it allows the aligners to be removed for easier cleaning and eating. This advanced clear aligner system is a new generation of orthodontic treatment available at Dublin Corners Dental, serving Pleasanton, Dublin, and the Tri-Valley. If you are still exploring aligner treatment itself, visit our Invisalign in Pleasanton, CA page. This page focuses on the clear retainers that protect your results once treatment is complete.
Invisalign clear retainers offer many benefits, including:
Traditional braces have been the orthodontic treatment of choice for many decades but can be uncomfortable both physically and socially. Invisalign aligners offer a wholly new approach to treatment. Whereas braces must be tightened regularly, the Invisalign treatment process is simplified by simply switching to the next aligner in the series. No brackets are involved, and the risk of periodontitis is reduced by allowing for more effective cleaning. Finally, the Invisalign system allows for a completely custom treatment plan that can often result in faster treatment than wire braces.
The Invisalign clear aligners process takes place over several steps:
Invisalign requires some lifestyle changes, as with traditional braces. Firstly, you must wear them for at least 22 hours per day, removing them only to eat or brush your teeth. Secondly, you must regularly rinse and wash them to prevent staining and the presence of decay-causing bacteria. Finally, you must take care not to lose or damage them. We will ensure you are fully prepared to live with Invisalign and get the most out of your treatment.
