Reasons to choose Invisalign

What Exactly Is Invisalign?

Invisalign is an orthodontic process that uses clear aligners to straighten teeth without metal braces. Invisalign is a set of custom-made transparent braces covering your teeth and gradually pulling them into the appropriate position. They are less evident than typical metal braces since they are delicate and can be taken on and off. Most individuals wish to enhance their smile but believe that conventional metal braces are their only choice. There are no metal brackets to distract from your smile when wearing Invisalign clear braces. With Invisalign transparent braces, your teeth may be comfortable, attractive, and perfectly aligned in half the time that conventional braces would take.

What Is the Composition of Invisalign?

The transparent aligners used by Invisalign are constructed of BPA-free plastic and are significantly more comfortable than conventional metal braces. These aligners straighten your teeth and give you a look you've always desired. Before you get your Invisalign clear aligners, we will discuss your smile objectives and what to anticipate from your treatment. Visit the Invisalign website to learn more about the company.

Who Is Allowed to Wear These Clear Braces?

Both teens and adults may wear Invisalign. Clear braces are used to fix gaps between teeth and treat overbite, underbite, open bite, crossbite, and overcrowded teeth. We can discuss if Invisalign is the best orthodontic treatment for you after examining and x-rays of your teeth.

What Is the Invisalign Procedure?

If Invisalign is suitable, we'll utilize the exam, x-rays, and a 3D model of your teeth to create a specific plan for your treatment. The treatment plan specifies how your teeth must move and how long it will take to align them properly. The x-rays, 3D models, and photographs of your teeth are transmitted to the Invisalign laboratory, where your personalized aligners are created. A 3D model of your teeth will also show you how Invisalign will gradually repair your orthodontic concerns.

What Is the Process of Wearing Invisalign?

After receiving the set of aligners, you come to our office to check for fit and make any required modifications. Except when you eat or clean your teeth, you will wear your aligners all day, every day. Because Invisalign braces are removable, you will be able to take them off for short periods during the day. Wearing Invisalign is simple and integrates seamlessly into your daily routine. When your aligners arrive, you will put transparent braces over your teeth. You will wear a pair of aligners for two weeks before switching to the next set. Even if they feel loose, do not exchange them too soon. Wear them for the duration of the two weeks. Changing aligners too soon can jeopardize your treatment strategy. These exams also identify whether the aligners or your treatment plan must be adjusted.

What Is the Feel of Invisalign?

These aligners are surprisingly pleasant to wear and are one of the most acceptable reasons to invest in Invisalign. You can anticipate a little pain as they move, particularly with the initial set of aligners. When you initially put on a new set of aligners, the pressure you feel on your teeth will gradually diminish for a few days. Please contact us if you experience any substantial discomfort or pain. We'll arrange a consultation with you to examine your teeth, gums, and aligners to guarantee a perfect fit.

How long will it take to be complete Invisalign?

The typical Invisalign treatment period is one year, although this may vary depending on each individual's age and particular demands. Because each situation is unique, you will be given a scheduled treatment time once your teeth have been checked and digital photos have been collected. We have seen changes in as little as 12 weeks!

Summer Teeth

SUMMER TEETH SENSITIVITY (about 1min 45sec read)

The ocean is calling your name, and traveling the world is top of mind, but have you prepared your teeth for the summer? One in eight adults have sensitive teeth, so don’t let your sensitive teeth prevent you from enjoying Jupiter, Florida’s best season. Routine check-ups and consistent dental hygiene habits can go a long way toward keeping the summer’s drinks and snacks from hurting your mouth.

Let’s look at some common culprits for summer-related tooth sensitivity:

• Defective fillings where the gaps are open

• Defective crown or bridge margins damaged from food and mouth acids.

• Cracked teeth

• Periodontal disease

• Bite problems

• Tooth grinding

• Tooth clenching

• Infected teeth and gums

• Cavities

• Large metal fillings

If you are experiencing sensitivity and have or suspect you have any of these oral health issues, schedule an appointment with Dr. Mark as soon as you can. It’s easy to get wrapped up in the hustle, bustle, and excitement of the summer season, but give your mouth a little vacation as well, and take care of your sensitive teeth.

Do you have sinus or allergy issues? Seasonal allergy sufferers can also have increased sensitivity in their teeth, especially as the seasons change. If your teeth are healthy, but you have allergies, sinus pain and pressure may be mistaken for tooth pain.

Other tips to reduce and prevent sensitivity:

Be sure to breathe through your nose, especially when there’s a chill in the air. Wear a bite guard if you need to reduce pressure on your teeth. Most of all, keep up your healthy habits of brushing, flossing and using mouthwash regularly. Wash with a fluoride rinse and avoid alcohol-based rinses. Consider switching to a toothpaste specifically for sensitive teeth. Avoid acidic foods and beverages as much as possible. If you grind your teeth when you sleep, you may need to change your sleeping position or take other preventative measures. Ten to fifteen percent of adults suffer from bruxism, which has a strong genetic component, but stress can lead to bruxism too. If you’re stressed out during the holidays, find ways to relax to quell teeth grinding. You deserve to have a holiday free from pain.
