The aligners are not affixed to your teeth and they can be easily removed for eating, speaking, or brushing. They allow you to drink and eat while facilitating the alignment and straightening of your teeth. We will provide you with a set of clear aligners, which you need to wear for about 2 weeks. The aligners are designed to exert force on your teeth, which makes movement for the correction of teeth <a href=\"\/patient-education\/underbite-how-to-correct-it-and-why-it-happens\/\">underbite<\/a>, crossbite, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mycreativesmiles.com\/patient-education\/overbite-how-to-fix-and-why-it-occurs\/\">over bite<\/a> possible. After 2 weeks, your aligners will have served their purpose and they will be replaced with a new set. This way, you will successively wear new sets of aligners every two weeks until your teeth have straightened. The freedom from many <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mycreativesmiles.com\/orthodontics-braces-invisalign-clear-aligners-adults-adolescents\/\">orthodontic<\/a> appointments makes this a preferred mode of aligning crooked teeth.

One of our expert dentists will do an evaluation and exam and determine whether Invisalign\u00ae will benefit you, and whether you should be prescribed adult or teen Invisalign\u00ae. You will have the chance to ask any questions or voice any concerns you may have, eg, price, duration of treatment, and possibility of seeing a simulation of your smile after the treatment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Evaluating your Records<\/strong> \u2013 The actual process follows with a discussion about your teeth. The following records are made:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Impression and Digitization<\/strong> \u2013 We will take accurate impressions of your teeth as they are. This can be done using the impression putty and then digitizing the hardened putty into a computer loaded with special software. A better approach, if facilities are available, is to read off the 3-D optical data directly from your mouth into the computer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Bite registration<\/strong> \u2013 We will then make a record of your bite.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Dental x-rays<\/strong> \u2013 Next we will take X-rays which allows your oral surgeon to assess the jaw bone health and the tooth roots positioning. A panoramic x-ray or a full-mouth series, or both, may be taken.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Photographs<\/strong> \u2013 Invisalign\u00ae requires several patient pictures including front and side photos, front and side close-ups of your smile, and close-up pictures of upper and lower dental arches. All this data along with the dentist\u2019s advice will be sent to the Invisalign\u00ae company.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Treatment simulation<\/strong> \u2013 Staff at Invisalign\u00ae technology will generate a simulation showing on screen your teeth through the various stages of realignment. This simulation will be sent back to us for any amendment advice or a final OK by your dentist. You may also be able to see this simulation and the final position of your smile.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Manufacture and delivery<\/strong> \u2013 Once your dentist has okayed the treatment, your custom aligners will be manufactured using computer-aided manufacturing (CAM). Your aligners will be delivered to you through our dentists.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>How long they need to be worn<\/strong> \u2013 The total duration of treatment depends on your case. In general, the treatment will be around one year to 18 months. Each aligner has to be worn for about two weeks, as many hours through day and night as possible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Discover Invisalign clear aligners near me and treating <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mycreativesmiles.com\/patient-education\/openbite-causes-and-treatment\/\">open bites<\/a> issues.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-4 nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"background-color: #ffffff;background-position: center center;background-repeat: no-repeat;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;margin-bottom: 0px;margin-top: 0px;border-width: 0px 0px 0px 0px;border-color:#eae9e9;border-style:solid;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-5 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:20px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:10px;width:100%;\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\"><\/style><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-5 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-three\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:31px;margin-left:0px;\"><h3 class=\"title-heading-left fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"margin:0;--fontSize:22;--minFontSize:22px;line-height:1.23;\"><h3 id=\"invisalign_advantage\">The Invisalign\u00ae Advantage<\/h3><\/h3><\/div><div class=\"imageframe-align-center\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-2 hover-type-none\"><a class=\"fusion-no-lightbox\" href=\"https:\/\/www.invisalign.com\/\" target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"Invisalign Orange County CA\"><img width=\"821\" height=\"158\" alt=\"Invisalign Orange County CA\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mycreativesmiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/invisalign-orange-county-ca.png\" class=\"img-responsive wp-image-2749\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mycreativesmiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/invisalign-orange-county-ca-200x38.png 200w, https:\/\/www.mycreativesmiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/invisalign-orange-county-ca-400x77.png 400w, https:\/\/www.mycreativesmiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/invisalign-orange-county-ca-600x115.png 600w, https:\/\/www.mycreativesmiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/invisalign-orange-county-ca-800x154.png 800w, https:\/\/www.mycreativesmiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/invisalign-orange-county-ca.png 821w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 821px\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-5\"><p>The Invisalign\u00ae system of teeth alignment was invented by an IT engineer who did not care for the excessive number of visits for adjusting the tension in the braces.

Removing the aligners is required for eating and cleaning. When you get your new aligners you can put them on yourself. This saves you the time of frequently visiting the dentist (even if he\/she is near you) by being able to do it at home.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Cleaning \u2013 Since the aligners can be removed, they can also be cleaned easily. Therefore, the aligners do not interfere with regular oral health measures such as flossing and brushing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Cheaper than lingual braces \u2013 The Invisalign\u00ae uses leading-edge technology for treatment planning and manufacture of aligners. It does have a higher cost than the standard braces but is still more affordable than lingual braces.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Safety \u2013 Braces are made from metallic wires, which may have sharp edges. Invisalign\u00ae are made from plastic and have no sharp edges.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Reduced Damage to Teeth and Gums \u2013 Metal braces may promote demineralization and gum disease due to difficulty in cleaning. Invisalign\u00ae poses no such problems.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Duration of Treatment \u2013 Invisalign\u00ae usually takes a significantly lower timeframe to complete the treatment. It is better to have your orthodontist nearby Fullerton for better convenience.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>You Know What to Expect \u2013 With Invisalign\u00ae you can preview the outcome in a screen simulation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-5 nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"background-color: #ededed;background-position: center center;background-repeat: no-repeat;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;margin-bottom: 0px;margin-top: 0px;border-width: 0px 0px 0px 0px;border-color:#eae9e9;border-style:solid;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-6 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:20px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:10px;width:100%;\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\"><\/style><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-7 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-three\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:31px;margin-left:0px;\"><h3 class=\"title-heading-left fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"margin:0;--fontSize:22;--minFontSize:22px;line-height:1.23;\"><h3 id=\"care_of\">How to take Care of Invisalign\u00ae<\/h3><\/h3><\/div><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:-10px;margin-bottom:-10px;width:100%;\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-7\"><p>Invisalign\u00ae orthodontics system will give you a beautiful smile, provided you take care of them.

This will avoid trapping stuff that can cause decay and gum disease.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Travel Precautions<\/strong> \u2013 When travelling, carry your previous set, and the next set with you. Use one of them in case you lose or damage your current aligner.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Don&#8217;ts:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Foods to Avoid<\/strong> \u2013 Do not eat or drink (except water) while you are wearing your aligners.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Do not Use Toothpaste on Aligners<\/strong> \u2013 Do not use toothpaste to clean your aligners. Many toothpastes have abrasives which can scratch your aligners. Some have whitening chemicals which can color your aligners. Do not leave them exposed while eating, soak them in appropriate solutions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Don&#8217;t Drop Them<\/strong> \u2013 Invisalign\u00ae aligners are relatively fragile, and tend to fracture easily if they are accidentally dropped. Therefore, you should make sure that when you are not wearing them, they are stored at a place where they will not fall.
