Invisalign is a brand of high-quality clear aligners (also known as clear-aligner treatment) that are a type of orthodontic device made from transparent plastic. In essence, they are dental braces used to improve the appearance of your teeth. They are the perfect solution for adults who have moderate teeth crowding and don’t want to use ugly standard braces for an extended period. Invisalign is a long-term solution, and the results remain effective for many years.

Your dentist also may require you to undergo whitening if you are planning other cosmetic dental procedures, such as veneers or composite bonding, in order to ensure a better match between the restoration and your natural dentition, or after the removal of braces. Depending on the condition of your teeth and your goals for changing the look of your smile, whitening may not be your best option.

During your consultation and evaluation, your dentist also will note existing dental work, such as crowns and veneers, which will not respond to conventional whitening agents.

Invisalign is relatively new on the Malaysian market but did become popular quickly. The timeframe for treatment varies, depending on the nature of the problem. It can last anywhere from ten weeks up to a couple of years. Your dental expert at Beverly Wilshire Dental will inform you of the estimated period that your Invisalign treatment will take.

 

#1 THE BACKGROUND OF INVISALIGN

For many years your only option to have your teeth straightened was to get metal braces. They turned out to be a remarkably effective ( although ugly ) method that has helped many people perfect their smile over the years. Metal braces were not particularly comfortable, quick, or easy, but they did work well. Technology and further understanding of the way teeth move had to develop before Invisalign came to the market. The idea was to create something more comfortable and effective. Invisalign had its origins in 1997. A Stamford University student called Zia Christi began to formulate the concept while having his metal braces removed. He became determined to find a better, more comfortable way to straighten teeth. He joined with others to form Align technology in 1997. The journey towards creating Invisalign starts!

It took some time to create the product and receive FDA approval and another extended period to gain acceptance from orthodontists. Invisalign really started receiving mainstream acceptance in 2004 and proved to be popular for its ease of use and comfort. It has been a slow process for their popularity to spread worldwide until 2020; now they are one of the hottest orthodontics in Malaysia.

 

#2 INTEREST GROWS IN THE POTENTIAL OF INVISALIGN

Prestigious universities such as Harvard have accepted the Invisalign technology and insisted that their dental students study and get certified in Invisalign technology before they can graduate. In between 2008 and 2012, the number of Invisalign users multiplied to over two million. The interest in the product and numbers of users have continued to grow since then steadily. The creation of Invisalign teen, which created aligners for younger people, has added to the brand’s popularity.

We can say that Invisalign has completely overhauled the profession of orthodontists and enabled them to massively extend the appeal of teeth straightening to a far wider audience. It seems a certainty that the interest in Invisalign will continue to grow in 2020 and beyond.

 

#3 TAKING THE DECISION TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE

Deciding to straighten your teeth properly is a big decision. You need to consider the expense, possible discomfort, and the fact that it might take a couple of years to fix your issues. It is essential to consult with an expert to get the best advice and decide on the best course of action.

For more extreme cases, metal braces might still be the best way to go. However, it will give you the extra thing to consider about having a changed appearance for an extended period. You are fortunate if Invisalign is an option for you, and you can plan a relatively disruption-free way to fix the way your teeth look.

 

#4 TAKING ACTION TO IMPROVE YOUR SMILE

If you decide to take action and get your smile looking great, there is a process to follow using Invisalign.

Here is a quick rundown:

  • Consult with your orthodontist. The system is very adaptable, but it is not suitable for everyone. Your orthodontist will decide if your case is suitable.
  • Your orthodontist will create a course of treatment. Tests and X-rays will be taken, and a specific plan for your needs will be created.
  • Your aligners will be ordered. You can expect this process to take around a month.
  • Use your aligners. You will learn exactly how to use your aligners and for how long.
  • Refine your smile. When you finish with your aligners, your orthodontist might still recommend some extra adjustments to your teeth.
  • You will be taught how to keep your teeth in tip top shape and how to perform maintenance.
