Invisalign in Flint is a Clear Solution to Straighter Teeth
Genesee Family Dentistry offers professional Invisalign services in Flint, MI. As a certified Invisalign provider, we offer a popular alternative to traditional braces when it comes to straightening your teeth. Invisalign provides a discreet and effective solution for correcting crowded or crooked teeth for adults and teens.
Advanced Invisalign Clear Braces in Flint
Invisalign is a modern orthodontic solution using clear aligners to adjust teeth alignment gradually. Invisalign aligners are custom-made using digital mapping technology for a comfortable and efficient fit. Plus, Invisalign is removable and
virtually invisible, making them a popular choice for adults who prefer not to have fixed
braces on their teeth.
Another significant advantage of Invisalign clear aligners is their removability, which allows for better oral hygiene compared to traditional braces. Since the aligners can be taken out, Invisalign aligners can be removed during meals, Additionally, there are no dietary restrictions with Invisalign, as patients can remove the aligners while eating and drinking. This feature not only maintains the aligners' clarity but also ensures that patients can enjoy their favorite foods without worrying about damaging their orthodontic appliances.
Furthermore, Invisalign's digital technology creates a customized treatment plan for efficient and predictable tooth movement. This feature allows for more accurate and efficient treatment, often resulting in fewer office visits and a shorter overall treatment time compared to traditional braces. With Invisalign, patients can achieve a beautiful, straight smile with minimal disruption to their daily lives.
How Does Invisalign Work?
Invisalign uses a series of clear aligners to progressively move your teeth into a specific location. Each set of Invisalign aligners is worn for about two weeks before moving to the next set in the series. As you progress to a new set of trays, Invisalign slightly nudges your teeth closer to the end goal. There are no “adjustments” needed like with traditional braces, as your tooth movement is gradual and systematic. Your Invisalign aligners are made of a smooth, nearly invisible material that fits comfortably over your teeth.
Before you begin Invisalign treatment,
Dr. Nazarian will take 3D scans of your teeth, which we use to create a custom treatment plan. This plan will determine the exact movements of your teeth and map out your overall treatment process. At that point, we know about how long your Invisalign treatment will take. If you’re ready to begin treatment, the aligners will be printed and you’ll come back to pick up a new set of trays about once every other month. Invisalign aligners should be worn for 22 hours daily, removed only for eating, brushing, and flossing.
Invisalign vs. Traditional Braces
One of the significant differences between Invisalign and traditional braces is that Invisalign aligners are removable, whereas traditional braces are not. This means that you can take out the aligners whenever you’re eating or brushing your teeth. You won’t
have to change your diet or get special oral hygiene appliances. Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, which makes them an ideal option for anyone who is hesitant about wearing braces. They’re also smoother and no wires or brackets are needed. Traditional braces, on the other hand, are quite noticeable and can cause moderate irritation to your lips and cheeks, due to the brackets and wires they use.
Invisalign treatment is often shorter than braces, averaging around one year, depending on individual cases. Total treatment time may vary between 6-18 months depending on the individual. This is due to the custom treatment plan created for each patient, allowing for more precise movements of the teeth. We can provide you with an estimated timeline at the time of your consultation.
