Invisalign®
Why Choose Ocala Dental Care?
Invisalign®
Ocala Dental Care is a provider of Invisalign®, invisible braces, in Ocala and the surrounding areas. Invisalign® offers an excellent alternative for those patients who need imperfections in their smile corrected but don’t want to utilize more traditional braces. Traditional braces can be uncomfortable and unsightly. They also draw attention to your smile’s flaws while fixing the problems. With Invisalign® braces, patients can avoid all of that. Choosing Invisalign® over traditional braces also provides greater confidence for the patient as they are virtually invisible!
How Does Invisalign® Work?
Our dentists take impressions of your mouth using state-of-the-art technology. These impressions will create customized, clear plastic trays to fit your teeth. Then, every few weeks, as your teeth slowly shift to their proper position, you will be equipped with new trays to restore your smile to its natural state. You can now correct poor alignment, gaps, overlapping teeth, and more in an undetectable and discreet way. Invisalign® treatments can take 6 months to 2 years, depending on the patient’s condition. The average treatment time is usually around a year. After the patient’s final treatment, a retainer ensures the teeth remain correctly placed.
What can Invisalign® Correct and Treat?
Tooth Gaps
Invisalign® will correct tooth gaps from missing teeth or abnormalities of the jaw.
Crossbite
Crossbite is a condition where your upper and lower jaws are not aligned. This causes the upper teeth to “bite” on the lower teeth interior. The results are tooth wear, bone erosion, and gum disease.
Overbite
Similar to a crossbite, with an overbite, your upper teeth protrude farther than your lower teeth. This can result in TMJ and jaw pain.
Underbite
The opposite of an overbite, an underbite occurs when the lower teeth protrude past the upper teeth. This, too, can result in TMJ and jaw pain.
Open bite
When the upper and lower teeth fail to meet, chewing and speaking is difficult.
Overcrowding
This occurs when there isn’t enough space for teeth to grow correctly, which increases the likelihood of gum disease.
Invisalign® Braces are Worn Between 20 and 22 Hours a Day
Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign® trays can be removed for easy cleaning. This makes brushing and flossing much easier for the patient than traditional braces, which can capture food particles and be uncomfortable. No more wires, metal, or abrasions in the mouth! And this means fewer trips to the dentist. Typically, Invisalign® patients only visit the dentist every 8 to 12 weeks to ensure the realignment process is proceeding correctly.
Advantages of Invisalign®
Patients will spend less time at the dentist.
Invisalign® patients can eat and drink what they want with no restrictions.
Leave behind the hassles of metal and wire discomfort and adjustments.
Much easier to maintain dental hygiene than traditional braces, as they are removable.
Best of all, no one will know you’re wearing them while your teeth are corrected!
