While Invisalign® works well for most patients, it's not ideal for complex bite issues. In those cases, our dentists may refer you to an orthodontist to determine the most effective treatment for your smile.
Problems That Invisalign Can Fix
Invisalign in Rutland straightens teeth with ease and discretion using clear aligners instead of braces. It's ideal for fixing these types of concerns:
- Crooked teeth
- Overlapped teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Overbite
- Underbite
- Crossbite
- Open bite
Our dentists can determine if you're a good candidate for Invisalign during an evaluation. During this visit, they will take x-rays, provide a thorough exam, and take photos of your teeth.
How Does Invisalign Work?
Instead of relying on traditional brackets and wires to move teeth, Invisalign uses clear aligners. The aligners are smooth and comfortable to wear, and they fit snugly against your teeth, so they're not noticeable.
You wear your aligners for 22 hours daily, removing them for meals, brushing, and flossing. Following your dentist's treatment plan for your smile, you will switch to the next set of aligners every two to three weeks.
Everyone's needs differ, but most patients finish treatment with Invisalign in 10 to 18 months.
