Invisalign is a revolutionary treatment to correct misaligned, protruding, misshaped, or unevenly spaced teeth. It uses the same principle as traditional metal and bracket braces. However, the key difference is that Invisalign braces are practically invisible and hence do not compromise the user’s facial aesthetics.
Dr. Alison P. Schwartz is a leader in providing this adult orthodontic treatment. She is a certified expert for Invisalign and helps a great number of adults achieve a great smile permanently. Invisalign braces are made of medical grade clear plastic, that are custom-fitted to the patient’s teeth. Little by little the teeth begin to move from their original crooked or spaced position to a normal, straight position.
Apart from appearing invisible, Invisalign also offers another advantage over traditional braces. Invisalign aligners are removable, which means the patient can remove them while eating or drinking or while cleaning their teeth. This makes the treatment process more hygienic and comfortable. The results with Invisalign begin to show relatively quickly and the total duration of treatment is also less compared to traditional braces. In cases where the teeth need minimal amounts of correction, Invisalign can accomplish the job in as little as five months.
Dr. Schwartz uses a comprehensive treatment approach for patients who seek Invisalign treatment. After examining the patients’ oral condition and getting to know their general medical history, Dr. Schwartz will take the first impressions of the teeth in their original condition. A complete clinical exam is conducted to rule out any potential problems such as cavities or small roots. Thereafter, a treatment plan is made in consultation with the patient, while understanding their needs, concerns and expectations.
The complete diagnostic information is then transmitted to the Invisalign lab where a virtual reality movie of the patient’s teeth, including how they will move to their new position and how long it will take, is created. Thereafter, Dr. Schwartz places the custom fit aligners onto the patient’s teeth for optimal results.
