Most of us want straight teeth but avoid seeking treatment because of metal braces. We don't want to spend up to two years with these silver brackets and wires in our mouths. And some people mistakenly believe that their orthodontic issues are too severe or complex for clear aligner therapy.
Some patients are surprised by the types of issues Invisalign in Elk Grove Village can correct. Others are learning more about Invisalign, which is why clear aligners are trending.
Are You a Candidate for Invisalign?
An Invisalign assessment is the best way to learn whether it's right for you. In some cases, you're an immediate candidate. Other times, you'll need pretreatments to ensure a successful outcome.
At your consultation with the dentist, you'll learn whether Invisalign is the best option, how much it will cost, and how long you'll be in treatment.
What Issues Can Invisalign Correct?
Invisalign can correct a wide range of orthodontic issues, including:
- Unusual spacing between teeth
- Crooked, twisted, and overlapping teeth
- Bite misalignment, including overbite
Your dentist will let you know what to expect before you start treatment.
How Does Invisalign Work?
Invisalign is a supply of clear aligners worn in order and changed every few weeks. They are created from direct impressions of your teeth. As the weeks pass, the aligners slowly move your teeth into healthier and more attractive positions.
You can remove your aligners to eat and clean your teeth. At the end of therapy, we provide a retainer to keep the teeth from shifting back over time.
