When you are a teenager or an adult with mild to moderate dental malocclusions, you can undergo an orthodontic treatment to fix the problems. While braces are required for major dental misalignments, you can wear clear plastic aligners when you have minor dental malocclusions. Invisalign for Chicago residents are available from knowledgeable orthodontists who use special computer software to make the comfortable plastic devices. However, an orthodontist must collect medical images and molds from your mouth first to create the customized aligners that fit precisely.
You Will Need Numerous Sets of Aligners
When you choose to wear Invisalign in Chicago to fix your bite and smile, you will receive 20 to 30 sets of aligners. You must wear each set of aligners for two weeks before changing to the next set. Your aligners are made to shift your misaligned teeth slowly into the correct positions of your mouth. Each set of aligners is made in a slightly different way to repair your smile in six months to one year. While plastic aligners are removable, you should keep the devices on your teeth for most of the day and night.

Taking care of your aligners is essential so that you have the best outcome from your treatment plan. You should remove the plastic aligners while chewing food, drinking beverages and brushing your teeth. Your orthodontist will also teach you how to care for your aligners so that the devices are sanitized to prevent a buildup of plaque that can cause tooth decay, gum disease or bad breath.
