Invisalign is a fascinating straightener for teeth that are
slightly above the usual standard for braces. While not really an orthodontic
product, Invisalign acts perfectly well against crooked or gapped teeth, and
even mild cases of underbite or overbite. Best of all, it does so in relative
secrecy—the aligners are made of translucent, medical-grade plastic and don’t
interfere with your natural smile at all.
Steps for getting Invisalign start with your consult, at
which your dentist confirms your candidacy. Before you go, you may want to take
an online smile test, or look at pictures of Invisalign clients. At your
consult, the dentist will collect several data, including dental impressions,
bite registrations, and x-rays. In addition to these, Invisalign requires 8
patient photographs, including both full-face close-ups and close-ups of both
upper and lower arches.
Our Invisalign dentist in Los Angeles does not always
recommend Invisalign for patients with severe orthodontic issues—these are
still best fixed with braces. Invisalign is meant as a slightly more exclusive
product, for patients who have suffered dental relapse from a past orthodontic
experience, or who want to elevate their teeth from slightly below average to
well above average.
