Invisalign Braces Landstuhl

Just as you were starting to think about getting your teeth straightened you got shipped out to Germany. Now you want to find Invisalign braces in Landstuhl. You don’t have to wait. Dr. Michael Dillon is an American orthodontist with an office in Landstuhl, where he has been licensed to practice since 1984. 

Invisalign – What You Need to Know

If you are like most people, what you know about Invisalign is that they are invisible trays that somehow straighten your teeth. Are you ready for a crash course in Invisalign technology?

Invisalign received FDA approval in 1998 and became widely available by 2000. The main selling point of Invisalign has always been the near invisibility of the tray liners. There is a lot more to this alignment system, and it all starts with a smile. 

Your interest in orthodontic treatment probably stems from dissatisfaction with your smile or a recommendation from your regular dentist. Whatever the reason, Invisalign may be able to help you correct it. While this breakthrough treatment program can’t fix everything, the almost-invisible trays have proven to be very beneficial in the treatment of most alignment problems. 

Treatment plans will be discussed during your first visit but the first step is a 3D digital image of your mouth, teeth, and gums. While a great number of patients are candidates for Invisalign treatment, Dillon Orthodontics also offers alternative options. These include traditional metal braces, ceramic braces, and lingual braces. Dr. Dillon will determine the best way to straighten your smile and discuss options with you. 

Invisalign Braces in Landstuhl

If you begin an Invisalign treatment program, you may finish in as little as six months. However, most patients undergo treatment for 12 to 18 months. During treatment, you will need to wear the Invisalign alignment trays for 20 to 22 hours per day, including while you sleep. Because the trays are almost invisible, most people will not even realize that you are wearing them.

The alignment trays are removed for eating and drinking, so there are no dietary restrictions you need to worry about. You will need to brush and floss after meals and snacks before reinserting the trays. Failure to practice good oral hygiene during treatment can increase the potential for tooth decay.

You will receive several sets of trays at each office visit. You will wear each set for approximately two weeks before switching to the next set in the succession. With each new set of trays, you may experience mild discomfort, but this sensation generally passes within the first couple of days.

The Invisalign treatment system depends on you being diligent and exercising discipline. Failure to wear the trays for the required amount of time each can cause delays in the efficacy of treatment. If you are ready to take control of improving your smile, you are ready for Invisalign.
