Wichita dentist and Invisalign: How it works

Many patients who are interested in rejuvenating their smile are introduced by the East Wichita Dentist to the process of Invisalign. Invisalign is an orthodontic alternative that does not use metal brackets and wires to reposition the teeth. Instead, it works by utilizing clear aligner trays that are discreet and easy to use.

Patients in the Wichita area who have considered Invisalign often want to know how it works. East Wichita Dentist can consult with patients who are interested in undergoing this treatment and discuss with them the process that occurs in repositioning the teeth.

First, patients must be deemed as appropriate candidates for Invisalign. This includes an examination and checking past dental history. Patients with severe misalignment or overcrowding may not be candidates, as Invisalign is better suited for mild to moderate aesthetic concerns and bite correction.

Second, patients have impressions made of their dental arch. These impressions are sent to the Invisalign lab to create a series of trays. They are sent to the dental office within a few weeks and patients return to educate themselves on how to use the trays properly. Each tray is worn for two weeks. They snap over the dental arch with ease and are removable for eating and brushing the teeth. This helps patients maintain better dental health throughout the orthodontic process, as they do not have to deal with cleaning around metal brackets and wires.

Third, patients follow the treatment plan as laid out by East Wichita Dentist. Each patient will have a different number of trays in their treatment plan as determined by the severity of their misalignment. Without proper compliance, patients will not see the results they are looking for, so it is essential that they follow the Invisalign treatment plan.

After Invisalign treatment, many patients continue to wear their last aligner tray at night as a retainer to maintain the new alignment of their smiles. This helps patients enjoy years of beautiful, straight smiles!

    Such an amazing dental office! The staff is so nice and welcoming. I felt right at home. They used sedation dentistry on me and it took all the fear from me and it didn't even hurt. I have never met a dental office that is so easy to talk to! Love them
