You might be an Invisalign candidate if your smile requires only mild to moderate corrections. These corrections can include crooked teeth, gaps and crowding, and bite malocclusions. Invisalign is also reserved for those who are capable of the responsibilities this treatment requires. Invisalign aligners are removable, and must be worn for at least twenty hours a day. Patients must be able to keep track of their aligners when they aren’t being worn, as well as whether they have been worn for the minimum amount of hours needed.
You can discover if you are a good candidate for Invisalign at a consultation appointment. At this time, we will examine the teeth, and take x-rays of the oral structure. This will allow us to see how the teeth have developed and how they should be corrected with orthodontic treatment. If our dentist does recommend Invisalign for you and your smile, you may have several options, including Invisalign Express.
