Invisalign FAQ

Home » Invisalign » Invisalign FAQ

What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign uses a set of custom-made, almost invisible, removable aligners to gently and safely realign your teeth over time. The plastic material used to manufacture Invisalign clear aligners is very flexible because it is constructed from SmartTrack material, a proprietary thermoplastic developed for use in the Invisalign system. The clear aligners used in Invisalign are very clear, so most people may not even know you’re wearing them. You can take them out whenever you want, like when you want to eat, drink, wash your teeth, or floss. You won’t have to worry about irritating your mouth or breaking any wires or brackets because they’re completely plastic.

How Do I Care For My Invisalign Aligners?

Taking care of your Invisalign aligners is so easy. All you have to do is rinse them off with warm water after each use and put them back in their case when you’re not wearing them. You should also brush and floss your teeth before putting the aligners back in your mouth. This will help make sure that there are no food particles stuck between the aligners and your teeth.

It’s also important to make sure you brush your aligners with toothpaste every day. This will help keep them looking clean and clear. Lastly, it’s important to go to all of your appointments so that your Invisalign treatment plan can be watched. This way, any necessary changes can be made to get the best results.

Is Invisalign Right For Me?

If you believe that you are a candidate for Invisalign in Kansas City, MO, call Dr. Simmons and request your complimentary consultation today! He can evaluate your dental health and determine if you are a good candidate for Invisalign. Invisalign is a great orthodontic treatment option for people with the following conditions:

    • Overbites
    • Underbites
    • Crossbites
    • Open bites
    • Gap teeth
    • Overcrowded teeth

If you have more complex orthodontic issues, such as rotated teeth, intrusions/extrusions, or large gaps between teeth, then Invisalign may not be the best fit. Dr. Simmons can evaluate and determine the best treatment option for your unique needs.

Is Invisalign Painful?

The process of getting Invisalign does not hurt. Because the aligners are composed of a smooth material, and there are no wires or brackets to hurt your gums, many patients find them more comfortable than traditional braces. As an added bonus, you can avoid any discomfort caused by food particles becoming lodged in the aligners by taking them out when you eat or brush your teeth.

But as the aligners exert force on your teeth, it is natural to experience a slight but persistent pressure during wear. Invisalign aligners are comfortable to use, and most patients adjust to their aligners within a week or two.

How Often Should I Visit My Dentist Throughout Treatment?

It is more important than ever to check in with your dentist for your routine dental cleanings and examinations throughout the course of your Invisalign treatment in Kansas City, MO. Dr. Simmons and his team at Kinetic Braces are happy to coordinate with your regular dentist during to course of your treatment to ensure that you are receiving the best care possible!
