More than 4 million patients worldwide have been treated with Invisalign clear aligners. The number of Invisalign smiles grows daily. Align Technology, Inc., the company that manufactures Invisalign, was founded in 1997. Invisalign braces received the necessary clearance from the FDA to be able to sell and market the Invisalign system in 1998.
The best way to clean your Invisalign braces is to use the Invisalign cleaning system, available for order at www.invisalignstore.com. However, your aligners can also be cleaned by brushing them and rinsing them in lukewarm water.
A number of Invisalign patients have undergone a previous treatment involving braces at some point in their past, often during their youth. Adults can have some shifting that occurs after braces are corrected with Invisalign braces, without having to go through the trauma and social awkwardness of wearing metal braces.
Invisalign braces aren’t for everyone.
In some cases, factors like the severity of your case, the health of your teeth, and your commitment to the process all play a role in determining if Invisalign is right for you. Give us a call at Raines Over The Rockies Family Dentistry today to see if Invisalign is right for you!
The length of treatment depends on the severity of your case and can only be determined by your doctor. However, the average case takes about eight to 12 months for adults. The length of time necessary for a teen patient may vary and can be determined by a doctor of family dentistry.
Most doctors recommend that anyone who has completed orthodontic treatment, whether metal braces or Invisalign braces, use a retainer to prevent teeth from gradually shifting back toward their initial position.
While there are many different types of retainers, we recommend Vivera® retainers. Vivera’s proprietary material is 30% stronger than other leading clear retainer materials, which helps maintain your teeth in the final position. Because the retainers are custom-made from an impression or scan of your teeth using the same state-of-the-art technology as Invisalign clear aligners, you will benefit from a more precise and comfortable fit.
