Invisalign® Clear Aligners Salem, OR Invisalign has changed the field of orthodontics by offering a modern, discreet alternative to highly visible, traditional braces. This innovative system of clear aligners has transformed how people achieve straighter teeth, and improve their oral health. What is Invisalign?Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that uses custom made transparent aligners to straighten teeth. Traditional braces rely on metal brackets, wires, and tension to gradually move teeth into their proper positions, but Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible and do not adhere to the teeth. This makes them a popular choice for patients who need orthodontic alignment. These aligners are made from a flexible, medical grade thermoplastic material that is designed to fit snugly over the teeth, and gently move them into their proper places. How Does Invisalign Work?The Invisalign process begins with a consultation. During this initial visit, our team evaluates the patient's teeth. This allows us to design a customized treatment plan and map out the gradual movement of the teeth over time. Once the aligners are ready, patients wear each set for approximately two weeks before progressing to the next in the series. Each aligner applies gentle, controlled force to specific teeth. This gradually shifts them into the desired positions. Depending on the complexity of the case, treatment can take anywhere from six months to two years. Patients are typically required to wear the aligners throughout the day, and at night while asleep. The aligners are only removed to eat, drink, brush, and floss. Benefits of InvisalignPatients prefer Invisalign because it offers several advantages over traditional braces: Discreet AppearanceThe clear, nearly invisible design ensures that patients can straighten their teeth without drawing attention to their treatment. This is particularly appealing to those concerned about appearance, including teens who want to straighten their teeth discreetly without the look of traditional metal braces. Comfort and ConvenienceInvisalign aligners are made from smooth plastic that eliminates the irritation caused by metal wires and brackets. In addition, the ability to remove the aligners makes it easier to maintain oral hygiene and enjoy a normal diet. Fewer Dental VisitsInvisalign typically requires fewer adjustments and checkups compared to braces. This saves time and reduces disruptions to daily life.
