Aligners for Teeth Straightening -Invisalign and Clear Aligners

by admin

In recent years, Google searches for “teeth straightening for adults” have increased significantly. A patient-friendly tooth alignment option is required to support our proactive socialization, aesthetics, and swanky lifestyles. This is where the aligner therapy pitches in.

Clear aligners and Invisalign therapy have gained wide acceptance from dentists and patients. The esteemed Magnolia Dental (magnoliadental.ca) is accepting new patients and would love to help you with your teeth straightening and smile design.
Nonetheless, aligner therapy is equally popular with teenagers. With minimal food restrictions and discomfort, Invisalign Teens and Clear Aligners for teens are much sought-after in Canadian healthcare.

Scope of teeth aligners

  1. Teeth straightening and alignment of crooked teeth
  2. Smile designing
  3. Bite adjustment to improve chewing
  4. Correction of tooth grinding, clenching, and bruxism
  5. Correction of jaw discomfort

More than just teeth straightening, aligners have many other uses!

  1. Functions as a night guard to prevent bruxism.
  2. Corrects TMDs – they are disorders of the temporomandibular joints (TMJ)
  3. Alters the profile and face contours.
  4. Improves lip support and lip fullness.

Let’s understand the treatment flow of Clear aligners and Invisalign:

  1. Diagnosis and treatment planning will be done by a team of certified doctors from Magnolia Dental. It involves x-rays, scanning, photographs, and a thorough one-on-one discussion with the patients.
  2. A virtual treatment plan is fabricated and shared with the patient.
  3. On evaluation, the dentist makes the necessary changes in the plan, keeping in mind the patient’s customized needs.
  4. The aligners, once manufactured, are shipped to the clinic and the patient is intimated about the next appointment.
  5. Necessary instructions and precautions are given to the patient.

How does an aligner work?

The aligners are supposed to be worn for 20 to 22 hours per day and are intended to move each tooth by 0.25 to 0.30 mm over the course of a week or two.  

Advantages of teeth aligners

1. Aesthetic:
Free of metal wires and braces. Clear aligners and Invisalign are virtually invisible. They do not hamper your social life. You still get to “say cheese” in your family photograph.

2. Comfortable :

No irritation, bruises, or food lodgment in the mouth. Clear aligners and Invisalign are removed while eating. They have a smooth, flexible finish and are comfortable to wear.

3. Short and less number of dental visits :

you will be seeing the dentist at Magnolia Dental only once in 3-4month. The clinic provides one of the best Invisalign in Dundas and has patients from far and wide in Cananda.

4. Friendly and easy to maintain:

Just like brushing teeth, your Clear aligners and Invisalign also have to be thoroughly cleaned in teeth. They are wear resistant and pliable, so they can be thoroughly washed regularly.

5. Better gum health:
Better oral hygiene prevents gum inflammation and tooth decay.
6. Shorter treatment duration:

Most importantly, Clear aligners and Invisalign show results much faster than conventional braces. The combination of the best doctors and premium technology to straighten your teeth quickly

Teeth aligners have types -

  1. The At Home Aligners are direct-to-consumer alternatives.
  2. Complex, Comprehensive Systems – Invisalign, Clear Correct.
At-Home aligners have become more popular as people practice more DIY dentistry. They have become well-known due to their simplicity in use, low cost, and effective marketing strategies.

But be aware of the drawbacks of at-home aligners to make a wise decision - 

  1. There is no clinical consultation by the certified dentists for treatment planning. This is a necessary step because not everyone’s oral health is suited for aligners. Some complex cases require a combination of braces and aligners.
  2. The risk of further damage to teeth exists.
  3. If the treatment does not go according to plan, there may be higher repair costs and possible irreversible damage.
