Invisalign in Charlotte, NC
Are you looking for a way to get your teeth straightened without the hassle of traditional orthodontic braces? Look no further! Invisalign in Charlotte is the perfect solution to help you get the smile you’ve always wanted. At Inspired Dentistry of Charlotte, we specialize in Invisalign aligners and can help you get the straighter teeth you desire without any metal wires or brackets.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign in Charlotte is a great option if you are looking for an effective and virtually invisible way to improve your dental health. Invisalign treatment aligns your teeth without unsightly metal wires and brackets, making it far more convenient and comfortable than traditional braces.
Invisalign uses a series of clear plastic trays that fit snugly over your teeth. Each tray (or “aligner”) is designed to slowly move your teeth into alignment over time. You simply wear each aligner for two weeks before switching to the next one in the series. As you progress through each aligner, your teeth will gradually shift into their desired positions.
In addition, Invisalign treatment produces results much faster than braces; the average Invisalign patient achieves the desired outcome within a year! Invisalign also allows you to easily brush and floss your teeth, has a low risk of irritation or
discoloration on your gums or teeth enamel, and can be removed as necessary. All things considered, Invisalign in Charlotte could very well be the right choice for you!
Common Dental Problems that Invisalign Can Fix
1. Overbites
An overbite is when the top teeth protrude too far over the bottom teeth. This can cause a number of problems, including pain in the jaw and difficulty in chewing. Invisalign can help to fix an overbite by gradually moving the teeth into their proper position.
2. Underbites
An underbite is when the bottom teeth protrude too far out in front of the top teeth. This can also cause pain in the jaw and difficulty chewing. Invisalign can help to fix an underbite by gradually moving the teeth into their proper position.
3. Crooked Teeth
Crooked teeth can be both aesthetically unpleasing and difficult to clean, which can lead to cavities and gum disease. Invisalign can help to straighten crooked teeth by gradually moving them into their proper position.
4. Gaps in Teeth
Gaps between teeth can also be both aesthetically unpleasing and difficult to clean. Invisalign can help to close gaps between teeth by gradually moving them closer together.
5. Crowded Teeth
Crowded teeth are more difficult to clean than spaced-out teeth, which can lead to cavities and gum disease. Invisalign can help to fix crowded teeth by gradually moving them into their proper position.
How do I take care of my aligners?
Make sure to brush and floss thoroughly before putting your aligner back in after each meal. Removing food particles not only improves oral hygiene but also helps reduce plaque buildup that can cause tooth staining.
Remember to rinse your aligners with cold water every time you take them out, between meals if possible. This will help keep them clean and prevent bacteria from building up on the surface, which can lead to bad breath and other problems.
It's important to clean your aligners regularly using a mild soap solution or specialized cleaning tablets available through Invisalign. Allowing plaque or tartar to build up can interfere with the effectiveness of the treatment by making it harder for the aligners to move teeth properly.
Finally, make sure to wear your aligners as often as possible — ideally 20–22 hours per day — for maximum efficacy. Taking them out for extended periods of time can slow down treatment progress and increase the risk of potential complications such as gum recession or uneven bite settling.
