Invisalign aligners gently capture tension and compression forces and manipulate them to slowly and smoothly reposition teeth over time. The movement caused by Invisalign clear aligners is preceded by resorption of bone and cement. The movement also follows the deposition of new bone. How do clear aligners or Invisalign actually move teeth? All orthodontic treatments use force to move teeth.
With braces, they apply force individually to the teeth. Wires and braces can move teeth in alignment through the arc of wire that applies most of the pressure to the teeth. The elastics used by braces are able to align the jaw. Orthodontists use braces and metal wires to put constant pressure on teeth and move them to their ideal position.
Braces are attached to individual teeth and are connected by the arch. First and foremost, it's important to understand the Invisalign process. Each custom-made aligner gently and gradually moves teeth into place. Invisalign will move your teeth horizontally, vertically and even rotate them, as needed.
These aligners are designed to use the right amount of force in the right place at the right time. As you change your Invisalign aligners each week, your teeth will progressively straighten. Each aligner tray is designed to move teeth very minimally. Each aligner puts pressure on the right place to move the tooth and has a small space for the tooth to move.
The aligner puts pressure on the tooth, osteoclast, and osteoblast activity, then allows the tooth to move. It is a relatively new technique involving a clear plastic aligner system. They are custom designed by your orthodontist in Northeast Calgary, according to your needs. These aligners can straighten your teeth little by little until you achieve a perfect smile.
Each new aligner is designed to put pressure on the teeth to move to a certain position. Once you've reached your new positions, it's time to use the next aligner. This process is repeated several times until the teeth are properly aligned. Instead of continuously exerting pressure and having to adjust each time you visit the orthodontist, Invisalign works with a series of clear aligners.
Changing an Invisalign clear aligner is a lot like fitting your braces, except that changing an aligner is much more practical because it doesn't require a visit to your orthodontist. More complex cases can take up to two years, especially if your smile journey requires Invisalign refinements. Invisalign aligners create the movement of your teeth in small steps to the desired final position prescribed by your orthodontist. At the beginning of the Invisalign treatment plan, the software will calculate the treatment time and calculate how many aligners you will need.
Once you and your orthodontist are completely satisfied with the virtual representation of your final treatment outcome, scans are sent to the manufacturers of Invisalign, Align Technology, where your aligners are produced using 3D printing technology. One of the most surprising things about Invisalign is that each treatment case is planned using 3D models of the mouth. You'll also find that people don't realize you're undergoing any orthodontic treatment, many patients have told us that their friends didn't even notice any type of orthodontics, making Invisalign the treatment of choice for many people, especially adults. Although Invisalign aligners are much more discreet than traditional braces, they work in the same vein as conventional orthodontic approaches.
Other problems that Invisalign can fix include gaps between teeth, crowded teeth, overbites, minor bites, and crossbites. While Invisalign will certainly give you a great smile, the system plays an important role in correcting the many health problems that misaligned teeth can cause. In the case of braces, it is the brackets and wires that create this pressure on the teeth, while it is the custom plastic aligners in the case of Invisalign. Invisalign, on the other hand, is much more comfortable to wear and is virtually imperceptible, yet it does not have the ability to move teeth great distances or realign posterior teeth for bite problems, this type of orthodontic treatment is usually reserved for fixed tooth orthodontics.
You should make sure you take care of your teeth while using Invisalign and keep braces and teeth clean, especially after eating. In some cases, accessories or buttons may be required to help the Invisalign aligner grasp the teeth. . .
