Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that uses clear plastic aligners to straighten your teeth. The clear aligners are worn for two weeks at a time before they are switched out for a new set that helps your teeth move gradually into their designated position. The clear braces are worn for at least 22 hours per day and should only be taken out for eating, drinking and cleaning your teeth. Most patients can have their treatmentcompleted anywhere from 6 months to 2 years. The aligners are clear and comfortable to wear, making your treatment as pleasant and discreet as possible. Invisalign is a perfect orthodontic solution for patients of all ages.<\/p>\n
Before we can begin your Invisalign treatment, we must first determine if you are a good candidate for Invisalign in the first place. Not all patients are good candidates for Invisalign. First, we must verify that you only have mild or moderate orthodontia issues. If you have severe bite problems, Invisalign most likely won\u2019t be the right treatment for you. For more severe cases, we will recommend an orthodontist to complete the treatment. Candidates for Invisalign must also be responsible enough to wear their aligners as directed. This means they actually wear them for at least 22 hours per day. This is important for completing the treatment in the correct timeframe. Lastly, the patient must have overall healthy teeth. We need to make sure your teeth and gums are healthy enough for your teeth to move properly. Invisalign is perfect for adults and teens<\/a> who want to keep their orthodontic treatment discreet.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n You might be wondering how Invisalign in Florham Park actually moves your teeth. First, Dr. Gohard will determine if Invisalign is the right treatment for you. If you are a good candidate, she will move on to take pictures, impressions, and x-rays of your mouth. She will tell you what problems she wants to fix. If you have any concerns or problem areas you want to address, make sure to discuss these with her. Our staff is happy to listen to all your needs and concerns.<\/p>\n Once she has all the information she needs, she sends your impressions and information to the Invisalign lab where they will manufacture all of the Invisalign aligners for the duration of your treatment. When they return from the lab, you will begin wearing your first set of aligners for 22 hours per day for two weeks. Once your two weeks is up, you will throw those aligners away and begin wearing the next set. The next set has small movements in place for your teeth to make. Each new set has small movements that are occurring. This is how your teeth become straight while using Invisalign clear aligners.<\/p>\n About every 6 weeks, you will return to our Florham Park dental office to receive a check-up for your treatment. Dr. Gohard will verify that your treatment is on track. In some cases, she may order additional Invisalign aligners towards the end of your treatment if your teeth are not where they should be.<\/p>\nInvisalign Can Correct:<\/h2>\n
