Introduction
If you dream of a perfectly aligned smile but think traditional metal braces hold you back, Invisalign in Calgary might be the answer. This revolutionary orthodontic treatment uses clear, virtually invisible aligners to shift your teeth gently into their ideal positions. This guide explores how Invisalign works, its advantages over braces, the treatment journey, and why The Port Dental is your trusted partner for achieving the smile of your dreams.
How Does Invisalign Work?
- Customized Treatment Plan: Your journey begins with a consultation at The Port Dental. Using advanced 3D imaging technology, your dentist or orthodontist maps out a precise plan for correcting your unique smile concerns.
- Series of Aligners: Based on this plan, a set of custom-made, clear plastic aligners are fabricated. Each aligner represents a small, incremental step toward your final smile.
- Gradual Transformation: You wear each aligner for approximately two weeks before switching to the next in the series. The aligners apply gentle pressure, guiding your teeth to their desired alignment.
Invisalign vs. Braces: Why Choose Clear Aligners?
- Aesthetics: The Clear Advantage Invisalign’s biggest draw is its near invisibility—no more worries about the appearance of metal brackets and wires.
- Comfort Factor: Smooth plastic aligners are generally more comfortable than braces, with less irritation to cheeks and gums.
- Removable Convenience: You can remove aligners for meals and brushing, making oral hygiene more accessible and allowing you to enjoy any food without restrictions.
- Fewer Appointments: Invisalign often requires fewer frequent checkups than braces, saving you time.
Am I a Good Candidate for Invisalign?
Invisalign effectively treats the most common orthodontic problems:
- Crowding: Teeth overlap and crookedness
- Spacing Issues: Gaps between teeth
- Bite Misalignment: Overbite, underbite, and Crossbite
Important Note: Severe orthodontic cases might still benefit from traditional braces for optimal outcomes. Your dentist will determine if Invisalign is the ideal solution for you.
