Invisalign Treatment in Rockville, MD
Our office works with Evenly orthodontics to provide Invisalign aligners. The Invisalign with Evenly process is easy.
- To begin Invisalign treatment, we perform an exam and provide a consultation. We check how your bite aligns and look for overcrowded or crooked teeth. During this consultation, we make sure Invisalign is the right choice for you.
- Then, we take images of your mouth using 3D digital scans. The scanner creates a complete picture of your smile and helps us predict how your teeth will look after treatment.
- We then take dental impressions and send them to a lab, where they make custom clear aligners. Each pair of aligners helps shift your teeth a little at a time. Depending on your needs, you might also get Invisalign attachments to help move your teeth more effectively.
- We use EvenlyTrack to monitor your progress remotely, so you won’t need to visit our office every week.
- After you finish the Invisalign treatment, we will provide custom retainers to keep your teeth in their new positions. It’s important to wear these retainers regularly to prevent your teeth from shifting back. Orthodontic relapse can occur if you don’t consistently wear your retainers.
At first, you’ll need to wear your retainers all the time. After a few months, you can switch to wearing them only at night. We’ll let you know when it’s okay to start wearing them just at night.
Invisalign vs. Metal Braces
Traditional metal braces use wires, brackets, and rubber bands to move teeth into the right position. They are good for people with moderate to severe dental issues.
With braces, you’ll need more frequent office visits to tighten the brackets and replace wires. Sometimes, the metal wires can poke your gums, and you might need orthodontic wax to prevent irritation. Braces can also make it hard to eat sticky or crunchy foods since these can get stuck in the braces.
Invisalign is a different way to straighten teeth. It uses a series of clear, removable aligners that work well for people with mild to moderate dental issues. Invisalign can help with crooked teeth, gaps, overbites, and underbites. It requires fewer office visits compared to metal braces.
Invisalign aligners fit snugly over your teeth without irritating your gums. They are removable, so you can eat your favorite foods without restrictions.
Invisalign FAQs
Discover more about Invisalign treatment with answers to these commonly asked questions:
What are the benefits of Invisalign treatment?
Invisalign has several benefits. It uses clear aligners that are less noticeable than traditional metal braces. And they still fix problems like gaps, overbites, underbites, and crooked teeth. You can take out the aligners when you eat, drink, or brush your teeth.
Since Invisalign trays are removable, you can enjoy your favorite foods, including hard and crunchy ones, without worrying about damaging them. Plus, it’s easy to clean the aligners with liquid soap and water or an Invisalign cleaning solution.
What can I eat and drink while wearing Invisalign?
You need to take out your Invisalign trays before eating or drinking. Anything other than water can stain or damage your aligners. Also, avoid smoking, vaping, or using tobacco while wearing your aligners. Brush your teeth before putting your trays back in to keep them clean and free from bacteria.
How long do you have to wear Invisalign?
You have to wear Invisalign aligners for 20 to 22 hours daily, even during sleep. Wearing your Invisalign aligners as long as possible makes sure you’re on track to receiving a straighter smile.
How many times can you take Invisalign out daily?
You can take out your Invisalign aligners to eat, drink anything other than water, and brush your teeth. You should keep your aligners off for no more than three hours a day. If you leave them out too long, it can slow down your treatment, and it might take longer to finish straightening your smile.
Are Invisalign results permanent?
You can keep your teeth straight with Invisalign if you wear retainers consistently after your treatment. Like with other braces, you need to use a retainer to stop your teeth from moving. If you lose or damage your retainers, contact our office. We’re here to help you keep your teeth straight.
Can I get Invisalign if I’ve had braces in the past?
Yes, if you had braces before but didn’t wear your retainers as you should, you might need more orthodontic treatment later. When you don’t wear your retainers regularly, your teeth can shift back to where they were before.
For patients with minor crooked teeth or gaps, we recommend Invisalign. It can quickly fix teeth that have shifted and help you get your straight smile back.
