Invisalign is the modern way to straighten your teeth without the pain and hassle of traditional braces. Many patients are choosing Invisalign over traditional braces for the increased amount of comfort, the faster treatment, and for the invisible appearance. Many patients are coming to A Healthy Smile Dentistry<\/a> in Florham Park to seek Invisalign treatment from Dr. Gohard. Keep reading to find out everything you need to know about Invisalign<\/a> and the science behind it.<\/p>\n

What is Invisalign?<\/h2>\n

Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment option that can correct mild to moderate orthodontic problems. The Invisalign clear aligners are made out of a thin and durable plastic that is molded to fit your teeth exactly. The clear aligners snap over your teeth and every two weeks or so, you will swap them out with new aligners to slowly move your teeth into their ideal position. The treatment can take anywhere from 6 months to two years, depending on the severity of the orthodontic problems.<\/p>\n

Is Invisalign Right for You?<\/h2>\n

If you have been thinking about Invisalign treatment, your dentist in Florham Park will need to evaluate your smile to determine if Invisalign is the right treatment for you. To do this, Dr. Gohard will need to take x-rays of your smile. She will analyze them to see how severe your orthodontic problems are as well as a visual inspection. Patients who have a severe bite problem are usually not good candidates for Invisalign. Dr. Gohard will tell you if Invisalign is right for you and from there start planning out your treatment plan. If you are not able to hold yourself accountable for wearing the aligners for at least 22 hours per day, Dr. Gohard will not recommend Invisalign treatment for you.<\/p>\n
