According to statistics, four million Americans have braces, and 25% are adults. However, most people aren’t comfortable with Lake Shore braces, which affects their appearance and self-esteem.
Invisalign® is a transparent aligner that allows appearance-conscious people to get their teeth fixed without making it too obvious. Let’s find out whether or not you qualify for Invisalign®.
What Is Invisalign®?
Invisalign® is a series of alignment trays made to suit the shape of your teeth. First, you will get a custom mold of your pearly whites. Then, you will get your first tray which will shift back your teeth just a little bit. Then, you will receive another tray. After a few trays, your teeth will attain the desired shape. Invisalign® provides you with the benefits of conventional braces without wearing them.
Are You the Right Candidate?
You Have a Straightforward Case
Invisalign® can fix most cases of overbites, underbites, crossbites, open bites, and people that have crowded teeth or gaps. However, you might need traditional braces or dental surgery if you have a complex case.
You Must Be Responsible
The Invisalign® system depends on you wearing your aligners a few hours a day. It means you will have to wear them all the time, except when eating. If you fail to wear them regularly, you won’t get the desired results, and your investment will fail.
You Have All the Adult Teeth
Most LakeShore Orthodontics won’t fix your teeth cosmetically until you have lost all of your baby teeth. Therefore, to do Invisalign®, each and every tooth should be an adult tooth. Some adults have lingering baby teeth, so they need extra orthodontic work before getting their Invisalign treatment.
You Maintain Good Oral Hygiene
Oral hygiene keeps your mouth healthy and also takes care of the trays, thus preventing infections and other complications. Besides brushing and flossing your teeth, make sure to clean your trays. Moreover, contacting an orthodontist for Invisalign® ensures your mouth is free of infections and disease.
You Don’t Smoke
Make sure to quit smoking if you want Invisalign®. Smoking can make the trays dirty. Moreover, if you smoke too much, you might have to remove your Lake Shore Invisalign® frequently, which makes them less effective, as you have to wear them for several hours.
