Invisalign: Putting Your Dream Smile Within Reach

Your smile can be one of your greatest virtues. Crooked teeth, however, can turn your smile into a liability. Enter Invisalign dental treatment. Invisalign can transform your crooked smile into a beautiful one. Invisalign clear aligners function like traditional braces, only without the inconveniences. The answers to these FAQs, compiled by your dentists at Taylor Dental Care in Sandy, Utah, can help you decide if Invisalign treatment is right for you.

What is Invisalign?

With Invisalign crooked teeth can be straightened without the use of metal brackets and wires by using transparent, plastic aligners. When worn, these aligners slowly and accurately shift crooked teeth into alignment. Your Sandy dentists, Drs. Glenn and Michelle Taylor will have a series of aligners custom-made for your use and will outline a treatment plan to achieve optimal results from your procedure.

What features make Invisalign unique?

Invisalign offers a modern approach to straightening teeth, with features such as:

• Discretion – The clear, plastic aligners are hardly noticeable on your teeth, making your treatment less awkward or embarrassing.
• Convenience – Since the aligners can be taken out for eating and brushing, having Invisalign treatment won’t affect your regular eating or dental hygiene routine.
• Comfort – The smooth, plastic aligners won’t irritate your gums or cheeks.
• Fewer dental visits – With Invisalign, only a few dental visits are required since there aren’t any brackets or wires to adjust. We’ll schedule appointments every 4 to 6 weeks to monitor your progress.

What orthodontic issues can Invisalign resolve?

Invisalign can resolve most cases of crooked or misaligned teeth, overbites, underbites, open bites and crossbites, uneven spaces between teeth and overcrowding to give you a straighter, more attractive smile. Severe orthodontic issues may require braces to correct.

How long do Invisalign treatments take?

Treatment times vary, depending on the complexity of your orthodontic issues. In general, Invisalign treatments take between 6 and 18 months to complete. Putting the aligners on for 20–22 hours daily as recommended, switching off to new aligners promptly, and adhering to dental instructions can help speed up your treatment.

How will Invisalign impact my daily life?

Invisalign aligners make it easy to continue your normal lifestyle without worrying about your diet, dental hygiene or appearance. Once you get used to wearing the aligners, they become a normal part of your routine. Except for dental visits every four to six weeks, most patients report that Invisalign scarcely interferes with their day-to-day activities.

How do I care for my Invisalign aligners?

Wash your aligners with clear, antibacterial liquid soap and warm water at least once daily and rinse them thoroughly each time you remove them. This minimizes plaque and bacteria buildup and prevents staining. To keep your aligners fresh and clean, soak them in Invisalign solution every few days.
