Is Invisalign the Right Orthodontic Treatment for You?

If you’ve been living with misaligned or crooked teeth, you can do more than just wish you had a beautiful smile – you can make your dream smile come true with Invisalign! Invisalign orthodontics can transform crooked, misaligned, uneven teeth into a straight, symmetrical, and beautiful smile. Invisalign clear teeth aligners gently and discreetly straighten teeth, so you don’t have to feel self-conscious about your appearance. A visit to Dr. Kenneth Poznikoff, your Invisalign dentist from Riverside Dental Clinic in Drumheller, Alberta, can determine if Invisalign is a good fit for you. 

Dream Big with Invisalign

Invisalign is such a versatile treatment, and you can dream big about the smile you want to achieve. Invisalign can address a wide range of dental problems to improve your smile’s health, function and appearance. These problems include:

• Crooked or misaligned teeth 
• Teeth with wide gaps or spaces in between
• Overcrowding
• Protruding teeth
• Misshapen, uneven or overlapping teeth
• Malocclusion issues

Depending on the problems that need to be fixed, Invisalign can give you a brand-new smile within 12-18 months of starting your treatment. 

Is Invisalign a Good Choice for You?

To reap the full benefits of Invisalign, you need to make certain commitments. The first is wearing your aligners at least 20-22 hours daily, removing them only for eating, brushing teeth or special occasions, which should be few and far in between. 

You’ll have to schedule follow-up visits with Dr. Poznikoff every four to six weeks so we can monitor your progress and be willing to adjust your treatment, if necessary, to get optimal results from your procedure. 

You’ll need to take good care of your aligners so that they function properly in straightening your teeth. Handle them gently when removing or putting them back on your teeth, and clean them periodically, preferably at the same time as you brush your teeth. To clean your aligners, brush with a separate soft-bristle toothbrush using gentle, clear soap and rinse in warm (not hot!) water to prevent warping.
