Our Lyons Invisalign Treatment Process
Dr. Ahmed Hegazy has the distinction of being a Platinum Invisalign provider. His experience empowers him to tailor treatment to your needs and deliver reliable service and stunning results. Our Lyons Invisalign treatment begins with a consultation, during which our compassionate team performs a thorough examination. We utilize advanced equipment like the iTero Element Scanner® to create comprehensive 3D images of your oral structure.
The scanner gives our team a complete understanding of your unique dental situation, which we use to design your personal treatment. You'll even be able to see a digital model of how your smile will look once treatment is complete. If you're a suitable candidate, we will send the impressions to a trusted lab, where they'll create your custom clear aligners.
Invisalign trays apply gentle pressure to your teeth, gradually shifting them into their ideal position. To achieve the desired results, the trays must be worn for at least 22 hours a day and only removed for eating or hygiene. You'll progress to the next set of trays every two weeks until you achieve a straight, beautiful smile. The exact number of trays depends on whether your dental misalignment is mild or moderate.
Dr. Hegazy will provide you with a comprehensive treatment plan so you'll know how long it will take, as well as handy guidelines for managing your clear aligners at home. We'll schedule periodic visits to our office so our dentist can monitor your progress and make any needed adjustments to promote your successful treatment.
5 Benefits of Invisalign Clear Aligners
Invisalign offers various practical and cosmetic benefits without the discomfort associated with traditional metal braces. Through our Lyons Invisalign treatment, you can enjoy advantages such as:
- Comfort: Invisalign consists of perfectly fitted, smooth plastic trays without sharp edges. The aligners straighten your teeth without causing damage or irritation from traditional metal brackets or wires.
- Maintenance: Invisalign aligners don't stop you from maintaining your daily oral routine. You can remove them, clean your teeth and the trays, then fit them back on easily.
- Fast Results: Invisalign helps you meet your goals quickly, often in 12-18 months depending on the severity of your unique situation. By comparison, most people wear traditional braces for two years or more.
- Appearance: Discreet treatment is one of Invisalign's most popular attributes, especially for adults and self-conscious teens. The clear plastic is practically invisible, so others will barely notice them.
- Functionality: Invisalign straightens your teeth while allowing you to maintain your regular diet because the trays are removable. It's more convenient than metal braces, which prevent you from eating hard or sticky food.
Taking Care of Your Invisalign Trays
Taking proper care of your clear trays helps maintain your beautiful smile throughout your Lyons Invisalign treatment. It's advisable to make it part of your daily oral hygiene routine. Gently brush your trays with a soft-bristled toothbrush when you remove them for eating, drinking, or brushing your teeth. Remember to clean the storage case as well.
Stop using your Invisalign trays if they sustain damage. Instead, contact us immediately for an inspection and replacement. If your trays are lost or damaged, you should wear the clear trays from the previous week to maintain your results.
Some other helpful aligner maintenance tips include:
- Avoid hot drinks while wearing your Invisalign trays because they could get warped.
- Always store your clear aligners in their case whenever you remove them.
- Aligners are fragile, so handle them with care to avoid damage.
- Avoid a DIY approach to adjusting your clear trays as it might damage the appliance.
Exceptional Retainers To Maintain Your Smile
Retainers help maintain your straight teeth once you've completed your Invisalign treatment. We provide a wide range of retainer options, including Vivera® clear retainers. These appliances are custom-made to fit your new smile using a clear plastic that's very similar to your Invisalign trays.
If you lose or break your retainer, please reach out to our team as soon as you can. We will schedule an appointment to either repair or replace your retainer and help you get back to your daily routine as fast as possible.
