More people today are interested in obtaining a perfect smile. No matter your age, your self esteem is effected by your teeth and how people treat you based on appearance alone. This is a large factor as to why Invisalign in Henderson NV has had an increase in general use.
Orthodontists and dentists are able to give the people of Henderson, NV the opportunity to straighten their smile without using rubber bands and metal braces that were the common tool in years past. This newer corrective dental device is used so that no one can see you are getting your teeth straightened. It is made of a clear plastic, so no metal is used in the construction and there are no pain inflicting adjustments to go through.
When getting started, your dentist can get X-rays and impressions of your entire mouth to be used for your custom fit trays. This gives a good starting point to determine which teeth are in the need of the most straightening, and in what direction they need to be moved. In turn it will effect how your tray is made and where it is needed the most.
Once this is complete, the dentist can tell you how long you will need treatment as well as show you what your smile will look like with each step. You may only need 16 trays and 8 months of therapy, or up to a year for adults with more complicated needs. Teenagers will see about the same time frame they would require with metal braces for completion.
Plastic trays don't bother your gums and inner jaw like the old metal does, and can't be seen since they're made of BPA free plastic. You just insert them and remove only when brushing your teeth, eating and flossing. This almost painless manner of straightening is a gradual adjustment that results in a straight and beautiful smile.
You will need to switch out trays every two weeks, so your teeth aren't staying in the same position all the time. Your dentist will suggest that they be left in while you sleep because it has the best outcome when worn an average of 20 hours daily. It keeps the teeth from backsliding into their old positions, and keeps them stable while straightening day and night.
When you're done with therapy, you can ask the dentist if you will need a retainer to keep the straight smile you have achieved. It isn't a requirement for many people, but you just finished a year of investing in your smile so asking never hurts. Keeping that smile you worked so hard for is the goal of your aftercare.
For information on this product and if you are a good candidate for it, speak with your dentist. If you have an overbite, gaps between your teeth, an under or open bite as well as overcrowded teeth you could be a candidate. Contact your dentist for further details about your insurance coverage and specific needs.
