Both teens and adults may realize they need orthodontic treatment but shy away from having metal brackets on their teeth. Fortunately, if you are looking for options for clear braces in Manhattan, Dr. Lien and Dr. Alikhani with House of Orthodontia can get you on your way to a radiant smile.
What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign is comprised of clear aligners that work to move your teeth into place. When you first receive your aligners, they will come in a tray with several aligners organized in order. You wear your first aligner for approximately two weeks. At the end of that time frame, you move on to the next aligner in your set. Every time you use a new aligner, it moves your teeth about 0.25 millimeters. By the time you finish with your last aligner, your teeth will be straight.
Also, Invisalign and Invisalign Teen have fewer restrictions than braces. You may remove your aligner, so cleaning your teeth is easy. In addition, there are no food restrictions like those required for traditional braces.
Designing a Treatment Plan
Also, when you have your consultation with an orthodontist, you will see what your teeth will look like at the end. We start with a smile scan. A smile scan means we do not use gross molds to capture your teeth. Instead, we use digital technology to create a 3-D image of your teeth. After that, we use software to plan the path every single tooth will take until they are all straight. Furthermore, the orthodontist will show you a preview of what your smile will look like after you finish your treatment plan for clear braces in Manhattan. Finally, your aligners are custom made for you.
