The Invisalign method does away with conventional metal brackets and wires as well as ceramic brackets. As a result, inflammation and allergies in the mouth are non-existent during the process. The pressure delivery is very moderate with Invisalign in Annapolis, which means that hardly pain and tensions occur.
Some teeth may require small plastic attachments that the patient will not notice. The wearer’s speech is not affected by this type of treatment either. Invisalign’s computerized treatment system gives people the benefit of being able to see, in advance, what their corrected teeth will look like after treatment.
Advantages
Here are the advantages of the Invisalign system, in detail.
* Unrestricted oral hygiene is possible, which means better periodontal conditions
* Simple periodontal recall without brackets, straps, bows or wires
* Heavily reduced decalcification risk
* Minimal to no dental emergencies occur during treatment, along with no mucosal lesions or inflammations
* Less pain for the patient when changing splints
* No possibilities of abrasions due to bracket contact
* No restriction when playing sports or playing instruments
* Computer-calculated and, thus, predictable and plannable treatment goals
* Discussion of the treatment goal with dentist/implantologist before treatment
* Works through light and intermittent forces
* No “play” when wearing the aligners
* No metal allergies are possible
* Before treatment, the extent of treatment is known
* No blocking of the maxilla, which means there is no negative effect on certain head movements
* Possible in patients with enamel hypoplasia
Who can be treated with Invisalign?
The Invisalign in Annapolis system is possible with almost every patient. With few exceptions, all malocclusions can be treated with the Invisalign system. For a first consultation, the dentist can tell the patient if the Invisalign system is applicable to them.
Do the teeth shift again after treatment?
After each orthodontic treatment, whether after fixed braces are installed or after an Invisalign treatment, the teeth must be held with a plastic rail (retention device), which helps them stay in position. For this, the patient wears the retention device at night after they finish their Invisalign treatment (the last aligner in the treatment). Alternatively, a lingual retainer can be used.
