Invisalign
Do you find yourself hiding your smile because of misaligned teeth? If so, you’re not alone. Many people struggle with the confidence and self-esteem issues that can come with crooked or misaligned teeth. Fortunately, there’s a solution that can help you achieve the beautiful, straight smile you’ve always dreamed of – Invisalign in Albany.
At Albany Family Dentistry, we’re proud to offer Invisalign, a revolutionary clear aligner system that straightens teeth without the need for traditional metal braces. Dr. Jason Spychala is dedicated to helping you achieve your desired results with this innovative treatment.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a cutting-edge orthodontic treatment that gradually shifts teeth into their proper position using a series of clear, removable aligners. Unlike traditional braces, which use metal wires and brackets, Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, making them an excellent choice for discreet treatment.
What Can Invisalign Help Correct?
Invisalign is an effective solution for a wide range of dental issues, including:
- Overcrowded teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Overbite
- Underbite
- Crossbite
- Open bite
Whether you have mild or more complex misalignment, Invisalign can help you achieve a straighter, more beautiful smile.
The Benefits of Invisalign
Invisalign offers numerous benefits over traditional braces, including:
The clear aligners are virtually invisible, allowing you to straighten your teeth without drawing attention to your treatment.
Invisalign aligners are made from smooth, BPA-free plastic, eliminating the discomfort often associated with metal braces.
The aligners can be removed when eating, brushing, or flossing, making it easier to maintain good oral hygiene.
Since Invisalign requires fewer office visits than traditional braces, it's a more convenient option for those with busy schedules.
What to Expect When Getting Invisalign
The Invisalign process begins with a consultation at Albany Family Dentistry, where our experienced dentists will evaluate your teeth and create a customized treatment plan. Using advanced 3D computer imaging technology, we can show you a preview of how your teeth will move throughout the treatment process.
During this initial appointment, our team will take impressions, X-rays, and photographs of your teeth to create a precise 3D image. We will use this image to map out your treatment plan and design your custom aligners.
Once your custom aligners are ready, you’ll receive a series of aligners to be worn for about two weeks each. You’ll need to wear the aligners for 20-22 hours daily, removing them only for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing.
Every two weeks, you’ll switch to a new set of aligners that gradually shift your teeth into their proper position. You’ll have regular check-up appointments with our dentists throughout the treatment process to monitor your progress and ensure your treatment is on track.
The length of treatment can vary depending on the complexity of your case, but most people can achieve their desired results within 12 to 18 months.
Caring for Your Clear Aligners
It’s essential to follow a few simple steps to ensure the best results and maintain the cleanliness of your aligners:
- Remove your aligners when eating or drinking anything other than water.
- Brush and floss your teeth before reinserting your aligners to prevent trapping food particles and bacteria.
- Clean your aligners regularly using a soft-bristled toothbrush and lukewarm water or the cleaning solution recommended by your dentist.
- Avoid using hot water, as it can warp the plastic aligners.
- Store your aligners in their protective case when not in use to prevent loss or damage.
