What is Invisalign?

Understanding Invisalign: The Clear Alternative to Braces

Invisalign is a revolutionary orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually straighten your teeth. Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, making them a popular choice for adults and teens who want to improve their smile discreetly.

At Soni Dental Hospital, Dr. Pawan Soni offers Invisalign as a certified provider, ensuring you receive the highest quality of care during your journey to a straighter smile.

How Invisalign Works

Invisalign uses advanced 3D computer imaging technology to create a complete treatment plan, from the initial position of your teeth to the final desired position. Based on this plan, a series of custom-made, clear aligners are created specifically for your teeth.

Each aligner is worn for about 1-2 weeks before being replaced by the next in the series. Over time, your teeth gradually move toward their projected final position. The total number of aligners will vary depending on your specific treatment needs.

Invisalign vs. Traditional Braces

While both Invisalign and traditional braces effectively straighten teeth, there are several key differences:

• Appearance: Invisalign aligners are clear and nearly invisible, while traditional braces use metal brackets and wires that are highly visible.
• Comfort: Invisalign aligners are made from smooth plastic with no sharp edges, making them more comfortable than metal braces that can irritate the cheeks and gums.
• Convenience: Invisalign aligners are removable, allowing you to eat, drink, brush, and floss normally, while braces remain fixed in place.
• Maintenance: Invisalign requires less maintenance and fewer emergency visits for repairs, compared to traditional braces that often need adjustments or fixes for broken wires or brackets.
• Treatment Time: In many cases, Invisalign treatment can be completed in less time than traditional braces, though this varies by individual case.

Who Can Use Invisalign?

Invisalign is suitable for most teens and adults with common orthodontic issues, including:

• Crowded teeth
• Gaps between teeth
• Overbites and underbites
• Crossbites
• Open bites

However, very complex orthodontic cases might still require traditional braces for optimal results. During your consultation, Dr. Pawan Soni will evaluate your specific needs and determine if Invisalign is right for you.

The Invisalign Treatment Process

1. Initial Consultation: Dr. Pawan Soni will examine your teeth, discuss your goals, and determine if Invisalign is right for you.
2. Custom Treatment Plan: Digital scans of your teeth are taken to create a precise 3D model. Dr. Pawan Soni will then map out a customized treatment plan showing the exact movements of your teeth and approximately how long your treatment will be.
3. Custom Aligners Created: Based on your treatment plan, a series of custom-made aligners are created using Invisalign's state-of-the-art technology.
4. Wearing Your Aligners: You'll wear each set of aligners for 20-22 hours per day, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. Every 1-2 weeks, you'll switch to the next set of aligners.
5. Progress Check-ups: You'll visit Dr. Pawan Soni periodically to monitor your progress and receive new sets of aligners.
6. Completion: Once your treatment is complete, you'll likely need to wear retainers to maintain your new smile.
