Our practice offers different types of Invisalign products to meet the needs of our patients. You may be familiar with the original Invisalign system. We also offer a special product just for our younger patients called Invisalign Teen. However, many patients were unaware of another popular and helpful Invisalign treatment option, Invisalign Express.
The Invisalign Express treatment works the same way as the original and teen alignment systems. Clear plastic trays fit over your teeth and gradually push your teeth into their best position.
The protocol for Invisalign Express is the same as that of traditional or teen Invisalign. Patients must wear the alignment trays for 20-22 hours a day and remove the trays for eating and drinking. They also must wash the trays before each insertion.
Invisalign Express differs from the other Invisalign products in the severity of orthodontic treatment is necessary as well as the number of alignment trays used in the course of treatment.
A typical course of traditional Invisalign involves between 20 and 30 clear alignment trays. Our dentist will replace these trays about every two weeks as your teeth move.
The express option includes 10 to 12 alignment trays. This means most patients experience complete treatment in around six- months.
Our cosmetic dentist in Huntington Beach recommends patients in need of minor adjustments consider Invisalign Express. Our dentist finds it is an ideal treatment option for those who experience minor issues with tooth spacing, alignment irregularities, or slight tooth crowding. Invisalign Express is often the best choice for former orthodontic patients who experience relapses. Frequently, a course of the express treatment will move the teeth back to their intended space. Patients who are taking part in a smile makeover also can benefit from Invisalign Express.
If you believe the Invisalign Express treatment system might be just what you need, feel free to contact our office. Our staff have helpful information about Invisalign Express, and you can also set up a no-obligation consultation with our dentist to learn more about Invisalign Express and find out if it is the right treatment option for you.
