Who are Invisalign® Clear Aligners for?

Invisalign® Clear Aligners serve a range of purposes and can be offered to people of all ages. They are ideal for both cosmetic and medical corrective treatment—just ask your dentist. Jenkintown’s finest dentist practice is now offering Invisalign® Clear Aligners for people that have the following conditions and more.

Invisalign® Clear Aligners for Mild to Moderate Overcrowding

Overcrowding is a common problem that gets worse with age as your teeth naturally pull to the front of your mouth. This can affect your smile, causing issues with confidence. With Invisalign® Clear Aligners from New Age Dental, you can get your confidence back by realigning your teeth back to where they should be for that perfect smile.

Invisalign for Gap Teeth

Gap teeth can detract from a beautiful smile just as much as overcrowding, but they can also cause long-term gum issues due to the high amount of exposed gum. Unevenly spaced teeth are at risk of developing gum disease that can cause gum erosion and even lead to tooth loss. Keep your gums healthy and get a great smile in one simple solution with Invisalign ® Clear Aligners.

Invisalign Clear Aligners for Overbites, Crossbites, or Underbites

Overbites, crossbites, and underbites are medical issues that need correction. If they’re not addressed, they can lead to deformities as you age and cause problems with eating and speaking in the future. The wear and tear caused by the long-term effects of these abnormalities can also cause tooth loss and gum damage. For a long time, the only way to correct these conditions was fixed braces, but advances in dental technology from Invisalign® now mean they can be treated using their clear aligners. If you’re suffering from any of these issues, contact us here at New Age Dental to see how we can help you realign your bite using the latest technology in correctional tooth alignment.

How does Invisalign® Clear Aligners Work?

The treatment course from Invisalign® includes much more than the clear aligners. Luckily, it’s quick and simple to get started, and thanks to some of the latest innovations in dental technology, Invisalign® treatment is the most accurate solution for correcting your teeth alignment in Jenkintown, PA.

Step 1: Scanning your teeth and mapping your smile

The first step includes a consultation with your dentist here at New Age Dental in which your dentist will discuss the estimated costs and processes of having Invisalign® Clear Aligners, followed by a full mouth scan. Your Invisalign® doctor at New Age Dental will then book a follow-up appointment with you and send off for your aligners to be made.

The first fitting for your Invisalign® Clear Aligner

When your Invisalign® Clear Aligners are ready, your dentist will fit the first one for you and make sure that it fits securely and comfortably. They will show you how to correctly insert and remove them and ensure you are doing so properly before you leave. You will likely feel some discomfort at first—this is normal. The aligners can make your mouth feel a bit strange during the initial fitting as they start the process of realigning your teeth. This sensation will soon go away. Your dentist will also show you how to properly clean and store your Invisalign® Clear Aligners to keep your teeth healthy during the treatment.

Changing your Invisalign® Clear Aligners

You will be given a collection of Invisalign® Clear Aligners that includes each aligner for your whole treatment. Your dentist will inform you on how often you need to change them to switch to the next stage in your treatment. It’s normal for patients to change to the next aligner in the treatment every 1 or 2 weeks, but this is ultimately determined by your dentist. You will also need to have regular check-ins with your dentist to ensure that your Invisalign® treatment is going to plan.

Post-Treatment for Invisalign® Clear Aligners

Once your treatment is complete, you will be required to wear a nighttime retainer to ensure your teeth don’t move back to their original position and undo all the great work your Invisalign® treatment has done. It’s necessary to wear a retainer for all types of teeth alignment treatment. Your dentist here at New Age Dental will ensure you know how to correctly insert, remove, and clean your retainer, and you will also be informed on how often you need to wear it.
