Invisalign is a revolutionary orthodontic treatment that offers a discreet and comfortable alternative to traditional braces. By using a series of custom-made, clear aligners, Invisalign gradually shifts your teeth into their correct position. The aligners are virtually invisible, allowing for a more aesthetic treatment experience. Moreover, they are removable, which means you can eat, drink, brush, and floss normally. With Invisalign, you can achieve a beautiful, straight smile without the inconvenience and discomfort of metal braces. Dr. Victoria Hutta, based in Worthington, OH, is a highly experienced orthodontist who can guide you through the Invisalign process, helping you achieve the smile you've always wanted.
The Benefits Of Invisalign
Comfort
Invisalign aligners are made from a smooth, comfortable plastic material. Unlike traditional braces, which have metal brackets and wires that can irritate your mouth, Invisalign aligners are gentle on your gums and cheeks. This makes the treatment process much more comfortable, allowing you to wear your aligners for the recommended 20-22 hours a day without any discomfort.
Convenience
Invisalign aligners are removable, which means you can take them out to eat, drink, brush, and floss. This makes maintaining your oral hygiene much easier compared to traditional braces, which can trap food and make brushing and flossing a challenge. Plus, you can enjoy all your favorite foods without any restrictions, as there are no wires or brackets to worry about.
Confidence
With Invisalign, you don't have to hide your smile while undergoing treatment. The clear aligners are virtually invisible, so you can confidently go about your daily activities without feeling self-conscious. Plus, as your teeth gradually move into their correct position, you'll start to see improvements in your smile, boosting your confidence even further.
The Invisalign Treatment Process
Consultation
The first step in the Invisalign process is a consultation with Dr. Victoria Hutta. During this appointment, she will examine your teeth and discuss your orthodontic goals. She will then determine whether Invisalign is the right treatment option for you.
Custom Treatment Plan
If you're a suitable candidate for Invisalign, Dr. Hutta will take digital impressions of your teeth. These will be used to create a 3D model of your mouth, which will serve as the basis for your custom treatment plan. She will map out the precise movements of your teeth and determine the length of your treatment.
Receiving Your Aligners
Once your custom aligners are ready, you'll come back to the office to pick them up. Dr. Hutta will ensure they fit properly and instruct you on how to wear and care for them. You'll need to wear each set of aligners for 20-22 hours a day, switching to a new set every 1-2 weeks.
