How Invisalign Works
Invisalign guides the teeth into their new positions using a progressive series of clear plastic aligners that you’ll wear for 20-22 hours a day. You’ll switch to a new set of trays approximately every two weeks. Your series will be designed just for you, and progress checks with Dr. Lane every six to eight weeks will ensure everything is going to plan.
Who Can Invisalign Help?
Invisalign is a flexible, modern solution for many common alignment issues. Whether your teeth are crowded, gapped, or your bite feels off, these clear aligners can gently shift your smile into a better place. At Colorado Springs Complete Dentistry, we use Invisalign to help patients of all ages achieve better function and confidence without the hassle of metal braces. If you’re wondering who can benefit from Invisalign, read more below.
Crowded Teeth
When there’s not enough room in your mouth, teeth can overlap or twist. This crowding makes it harder to clean between your teeth, raising your risk of cavities and gum disease. Invisalign gradually creates space by guiding teeth into a straighter position. At our Colorado Springs practice, we’ll customize your treatment plan to reduce crowding, protect your long-term oral health, and boost confidence in your smile.
Gaps Between Teeth
Too much space between your teeth can be a source of struggle for your dental health and embarrassment for some patients. It can trap food, irritate your gums, and throw off the symmetry and overall aesthetics of your smile.
Invisalign closes these gaps over time using smooth, subtle trays. Each set of aligners works to gently pull teeth closer together. Our team in Colorado Springs will check your teeth and recommend the best treatment for you, whether it’s Invisalign or something simpler like cosmetic dental bonding.
Overbite
An overbite happens when your upper front teeth stick out too far over your lower teeth. Left untreated, it can cause uneven wear, jaw pain, or difficulty speaking clearly. So, can Invisalign fix an overbite? Absolutely! We use Invisalign to slowly move your jaw into a healthier, more balanced position.
Underbite
With an underbite, your lower teeth sit in front of your upper teeth when you close your mouth. This can make chewing difficult and increase the risk of tooth damage. Invisalign, in combination with attachments, elastics, or a combination of both can help correct mild to moderate underbites. Before treatment begins, our team will evaluate your bite to decide the best approach for long-term comfort and function.
Crossbite
A crossbite occurs when some upper teeth sit behind the lower teeth instead of in front. This misalignment can cause chipping, gum issues, or uneven wear. Invisalign aligners can typically fix this issue on their own, but if there’s a developmental issue with your jaw, it may require elastics or other peripherals to gently reposition your teeth to correct the bite.
Open Bite
If your upper and lower teeth don’t touch when your mouth is closed, you may have an open bite. This can make it hard to bite into or chew certain foods, affect your speech, and cause extra wear and tear on your teeth over time. Invisalign can solve this issue by moving the front teeth downward or upward until they meet properly. Our team in Colorado Springs will guide you through every step of treatment for a confident, well-balanced smile.
