When you look at your smile in photos or in the mirror, do you like what you see? If your teeth have shifted years after having braces, you might be a candidate for Invisalign correction. Without a retainer, teeth can shift many years after having orthodontic treatment as a teenager. Many adults like Invisalign because nobody has to know that you are receiving orthodontic care. The clear aligners are not noticeable when you speak or smile for a photo. With Invisalign in Chicago, you do not have to deal with any dental problems.
Teens and young adults with minor orthodontic issues may also be candidates for Invisalign. The clear aligners can correct problems such as minor overcrowding or malocclusion of the teeth. They are ideal for anyone who will be attentive to switching to the next aligner in the set and for people who do not want to deal with traditional braces. Cleaning around the metal brackets and wires of braces is a challenge. It can be easy to miss food particles. Once in a while, a bracket or wire gets loose.
Treatment with Invisalign takes about 12 to 18 months. We take impressions and digital images of your teeth, and a custom set of clear aligners is made for you. Every six to eight weeks, we see you for a checkup and take a look at your teeth.
