Smiling should be a happy, natural occurrence. With crooked or misaligned teeth, however, you may not feel much like smiling. Crooked teeth can also cause oral health issues like bite disorders, cavities, and gum disease. That’s where Invisalign can come in. Invisalign straightens crooked teeth to protect your oral health and improve your smile’s esthetics. A visit to Harmony Smile Dental in Sunnyvale, California, can determine if you’re a good candidate for Invisalign orthodontics.
Is Invisalign Painful?
Invisalign uses clear, plastic aligners instead of metal brackets and wires to straighten your teeth. The process is painless, effective, and convenient. After assessing the problems that need correcting, Dr. Ryan Zhuoran Zhao will map out a treatment plan and have a series of aligners custom-made for your use.
Invisalign aligners fit snugly and comfortably over your teeth to gently push them into a straighter position. To get optimal results, you’ll need to wear the aligners 20 to 22 hours daily. Every other week, you’ll change to a new set of aligners in your series to continue the repositioning process until your treatment is complete. Dr. Zhao will schedule dental visits every four to six weeks to monitor your progress.
