Why Invisalign
Dentist Brea
 Invisalign are removable clear aligners used in orthodontic treatments to straighten misaligned teeth and correct bad bites without using metal components or wires. Made of BPA-free plastic, Invisalign fits over your teeth, and as you go through the series of aligners, they apply gentle pressure that gradually moves your teeth to the desired position. They are generally more effective than traditional braces, and treatment can take approximately half the time of their metal counterparts.
At Brea Implant & Cosmetic Dentistry, our dentists Dr. Michael Han and design the perfect Invisalign treatment for you after a thorough consultation and examination. They will ensure that these custom invisible aligners help you get the best possible alignment.
What is the Invisalign Treatment?
The Invisalign treatment involves making a 3D mold of your teeth to determine the optimum way to shift them so they line up correctly. Then, a series of aligners are created out of a proprietary flexible thermoplastic to fit over your teeth.
You will wear these aligners every day for an average of two weeks, although this time can vary depending on your custom treatment plan. These plastic aligners are removable. You can take them off whenever you eat, brush, or floss.
After the recommended period, you will move to the next set of aligners in the series. The aligners may be uncomfortable at first, but as your teeth slowly shift to their new position, they will begin to feel loose. However, do not change sets until you have completed the allocated time frame. Our dentists will regularly follow the progress of the realignment to ensure your Invisalign treatment is on course.
After you have completed your Invisalign treatment, our dentists may recommend a retainer that will keep your teeth in their new alignment. These retainers are removable and are generally worn at night.
Who Can Use Invisalign?
Our dentists recommend Invisalign to teenagers and adults with gaps, crowding, or crooked teeth. Invisalign can also be used to correct misalignments such as cross bites, under-bites, overbites, and open bites. However, such treatments may use other orthodontic treatments such as headgear in conjunction with the Invisalign; therefore, it is essential to have a proper consultation before you begin your Invisalign journey.
