What causes crooked teeth? 

Before moving forward with aligners, it helps to understand what causes crooked teeth. In many cases, genetics plays a big role. Other factors include early tooth loss, thumb-sucking, or issues with jaw development. Some people experience crowding, while others may have noticeable spaces or misalignment due to shifting over time. 

Unfortunately, crooked or uneven teeth can affect more than just your appearance. They may lead to bite problems, uneven wear, or even difficulty keeping your teeth clean. More people are turning to Invisalign aligners to address these problems and achieve a healthier, more confident smile. 

Why choose Invisalign treatment? 

Invisalign aligners are a great alternative to traditional braces that have metal brackets and wires. They're made from a smooth plastic material that fits comfortably over the teeth and can be removed when needed. You wear each set for about two weeks before moving on to the next one in the series. 

Patients often choose clear removable aligners for several reasons:  

  • Discreet appearance: The aligners are not very visible, making them a popular choice for almost anyone who wants straight teeth without drawing attention to the process. 
  • Comfort and convenience: The aligners are removable, so you can take them out when eating or drinking. That means no food restrictions and no changes to your diet.
  • Reliable results: The aligners are effective for treating mild to moderate problems such as crowding, misalignment, and more. 

Who is a good fit for clear aligners? 

At our office in San Ramon, CA, we typically recommend Invisalign treatment for the following:  

  • Those who want straight teeth without resorting to traditional metal braces 
  • People with mild to moderate issues with their smile, such as gaps between teeth 
  • Individuals who are committed to wearing the aligners exactly as directed 
  • Patients who prefer a removable solution for comfort and flexibility 

How Invisalign treatment works 

If we decide to move forward with Invisalign aligners, here's how the process typically works:  

  • Custom treatment plan: Using digital images of your teeth, we map out your Invisalign journey, from the first aligner to your end result. 
  • Wearing your aligners: You'll wear each set for two weeks, removing them only to eat, drink (except water), brush, and floss. 
  • Progress check-ins: We'll schedule periodic visits to ensure the treatment is progressing as planned. Adjustments can be made if necessary. 
  • Finishing and retention: Once your treatment is complete, we'll provide a retainer to help maintain your new alignment and keep your straight teeth in place.
