Invisalign is a transparent aligner that is used to straighten teeth, align them and close gaps between them. Invisalign South Loop consist of a pair of transparent plastic aligners that fit over the teeth, the aligner is worn for a period of a week or so at which time it is changed for another one which is slightly different. The aligners are designed to slowly and gently exert forces on the teeth that move them into the position determined by the dentist. Invisalign do the same job as traditional metal braces but they have several advantages.
The name “Invisalign” implies that they are as close as possible to being such. Many dental patients shy away from having traditional braces because they are very visible, this is not an issue with Invisalign. Patients, even those in public positions can wear them with no fear of embarrassment. The appliance is made in such a way that the edges are smooth and soft, there is little chance that the gums or the inside of the mouth will be harmed which is not the case with alternative methods of tooth alignment.
A very important benefit to most wearers is the fact that they can be easily removed, this makes eating, drinking and attending to normal dental hygiene much more convenient. It is awkward and difficult to properly clean the teeth when they are fitted with traditional braces; the result is the teeth easy develop plaque and tartar in those areas that cannot be reached. The Invisalign aligners can also be removed for a special occasion where metal braces may prove embarrassing.
Invisalign South Loop will have an effect on the wearers speech when they are first used; this slight impediment quickly disappears as the wearer gets accustomed to them.
Before dentists can fit Invisalign aligners they must have taken specialized training. After the initial evaluation the first step is to take impressions of the teeth, these impressions are then used to develop a treatment plan which can be explained in detail to the patient. Once the patient agrees to the plan, the dentist will order a complete set of aligners that, over the duration of the treatment, will slowly change the position of the teeth using gradual pressure.
The cost of Invisalign South Loop is normally a little more expensive than traditional braces, how much depends on the length of time and the number of unique aligners that are needed to perfectly realign the patient’s teeth.
