Whether you're struggling with an uneven smile, crooked or crowded teeth, or bite problems like an overbite or underbite, Dr. Rask and our dental team are here to help.
How Does Invisalign Work?
Invisalign uses a system of clear plastic “aligners,” also sometimes called “trays,” to move your teeth. These look a little bit like a retainer or a night guard that you’d use to protect your teeth from grinding.
Each set of aligners is built from thin, strong plastic and is designed to place pressure on your teeth to move them into the proper positions. Each set of aligners moves your teeth by about 0.25mm. By switching to a new set of trays every few weeks as prescribed by Dr. Rask, you can slowly correct the position of your teeth and enjoy a healthier, straighter, and more appealing smile.
This is the same way that braces work, too. But instead of using metal wires, bulky brackets, and uncomfortable elastics, Invisalign uses clear, smooth, and comfortable plastic to move your teeth.
Explaining The Benefits Of Invisalign
Invisible when worn
Invisalign trays are made from very thin and transparent plastic and are designed to fit seamlessly over your teeth when worn. This means they're basically invisible when you wear them. Unless someone looks super closely or you decide to tell them, they won’t even notice that you’re straightening your smile!
Removable for your convenience
You can take your Invisalign trays out to eat and drink, so there are absolutely no dietary restrictions. You can keep eating your favorite foods like chips, pretzels, gummy candies, and whatever else you love. You’ll also be able to take your aligners out to brush and floss, which makes it much easier to care for your smile during your Invisalign treatment in Newnan, GA.
More comfortable than braces
With Invisalign, you’ll enjoy a more comfortable treatment process compared to braces. Invisalign trays are smooth, slick, and designed to fit perfectly into your smile. They tend to move teeth a bit more gently than braces, and they also have no sharp or pointy metal bits that could irritate your mouth.
Spend less time at the dentist
Typically, you’ll only need to see Dr. Rask every 6-8 weeks for a checkup. These visits take about 30 minutes. Dr. Rask will check your progress, make sure everything looks good, and then send you home with a few more sets of Invisalign trays. It’s super easy to fit Invisalign into your life, even if you have a busy schedule.
Amazing results that last a lifetime
For most patients, Invisalign is just as effective as braces. And as long as you follow Dr. Rask’s instructions and wear your retainers properly after treatment, your newly straightened smile will last for the rest of your life. You’ll enjoy benefits like enhanced confidence, an easier-to-clean smile, reduced wear and tear to your teeth, a more balanced facial appearance, and much more.
What To Expect From The Invisalign Treatment Process
Orthodontic consultation
Before you can get Invisalign, you’ll need to meet with Dr. Rask for a comprehensive consultation. She will examine your mouth, take X-rays, scans, and photos of your teeth, and assess your suitability for Invisalign. Most patients qualify for Invisalign if they have minor-to-moderate orthodontic issues.
Invisalign fitting and planning
Once you’re approved for Invisalign, you’ll come back for your first visit with Dr. Rask. She will take detailed scans of your teeth and work with Invisalign to develop your treatment plan. When your plan is ready, the Invisalign lab will build your first few sets of aligners and send them over to Bespoke Dental.
Picking up your aligners
After your aligners arrive at Bespoke Dental, you’ll come in to pick them up and get instructions on how to wear them. You will typically need to wear your new aligners for 20-22 hours per day and switch to a new set every 1-2 weeks, though this can vary a little bit depending on your needs.
Continued wear and checkups
As you get used to your new aligners, they’ll start to fit into your lifestyle seamlessly. And about every 6-8 weeks, you’ll come to Bespoke Dental for a quick visit with Dr. Rask. She’ll make sure your plan is on track, make any necessary adjustments, and give you the next few sets of aligners that you’ll need.
Final visit and retainers
It takes 12-18 months for most patients to correct their smile and their bite completely. Once your teeth have arrived at their final positions, you’ll come in for one last visit with Dr. Rask. She’ll fit you for a permanent or removable retainer that will keep your teeth from shifting back toward their original positions.
