Los Angeles, CA, Jan. 29, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Los Angeles
Invisalign provider, Dr. Kevin Sands, explains how Invisalign
works. Invisalign is a great way to straighten teeth without any of
the drawbacks that are associated with traditional braces.
Removable aligners are made of a thermoplastic material that has
been specifically designed for Invisalign. These trays look similar
to other mouth trays but are customized to move teeth according to
a carefully predetermined treatment plan. This treatment plan is
created at the beginning of the treatment process using advanced
computer programs. Images are taken of the patient's teeth, and the
treatment goals are determined. Patients can often even see a
preview of their results before they even start using Invisalign.
These images are sent to a dental lab, which crafts a series of
aligners.
Each of these aligners is designed to adjust the position of each
tooth gently and gradually. They are placed over the teeth and
apply gentle pressure to shift the teeth out of their current
position. This initial set of aligners will be worn for two weeks,
and then the patient will switch to the next set of aligners to
continue the process.
Invisalign Express dentist, Dr. Sands, often uses Invisalign as
an orthodontic alternative for patients with gapped teeth, crowded
teeth and crooked teeth.
Many patients appreciate not just the virtually invisible
appearance of the aligners but also the convenience, comfort and
simplicity of them. Invisalign aligners require no major
adjustments to diet or lifestyle. Patients simply remove their
aligners to eat, drink or brush and floss. The smooth plastic
design eliminates the discomfort of metal wires and brackets, and
fewer orthodontic visits are necessary, so patients will not have
to take excessive time away from school or work as they complete
treatment. Visit http://www.invisalign-losangeles.net
