Invisalign
How Does Invisalign Work?
The Invisalign system uses clear trays instead of metal brackets and wires to gradually move teeth into proper alignment. These clear aligners are custom-made to securely fit your smile for optimal comfort and effectiveness.
When starting treatment, Dr. Warren Gase will use our iTero scanning system to create digital impressions for exceptionally precise treatment.
Throughout the course of treatment, you will receive new sets of aligners and we will closely monitor you every 4-6 weeks during checkups at our Cincinnati, OH, dental office. Patients wear the trays for at least 20 to 22 hours each day. Treatment takes about 6 to 18 months, depending on your needs. Your commitment to following the recommended guidelines can also significantly impact the duration of your treatment.
After the initial treatment period is complete, the results from wearing Invisalign are designed to last a lifetime.
What Are the Benefits of Invisalign?
Everyone wants a pleasant smile – and Invisalign can help you achieve it. If you're looking to straighten your teeth, know that Invisalign offers patients several advantages over traditional braces, such as:
Discreet Materials
The aligner trays are composed of clear medical-grade plastic that blends in with your smile. These trays are designed to snugly fit your teeth, making them nearly invisible.
Reduced Treatment Time
Often, patients can complete their treatment in about half the time usually required for braces, which can take up to two or three years.
Greater Patient Comfort
The smooth plastic of the aligners does not irritate lips and gums like rough metal brackets can. This is especially beneficial for patients who participate in sports since they are less likely to suffer cuts and injuries to their mouths.
No Dietary Restrictions
Unlike braces, Invisalign patients are able to take advantage of removable appliances to eat. This eliminates the diet restrictions patients typically face during orthodontic treatment.
Improved Oral Hygiene
Since the clear aligners are removable, patients can better maintain their oral health. You can continue your regular hygiene routine throughout your entire treatment.
Fewer Appointments
With braces, you need frequent dental appointments with an orthodontist for wire tightening. This can be inconvenient and costly. Fortunately, Invisalign requires fewer visits than braces would.

What Dental Issues Can Invisalign Correct?
If you are unhappy with the alignment of your smile, Invisalign may be a great treatment option for you. Invisalign can correct a variety of concerns, including:
The pockets between gapped teeth can result in tender, sore gums.
Overbites occur when the upper front teeth close in front of the lower front teeth.
With an underbite, the lower teeth protrude beyond the upper front teeth.
Teeth may bunch up, overlap, and twist, making it hard to brush and floss effectively.
If your upper and lower jaws don’t line up properly, your teeth may wear down prematurely.
If your top and bottom teeth do not meet, it may be difficult to bite into many common foods, like fresh fruits.
Some cases of malocclusion may require traditional orthodontics.
Am I a Good Candidate for Invisalign?
Our Cincinnati practice typically recommends Invisalign for older teenagers and adults, as teeth might still be developing in younger patients. There are a couple of characteristics that make someone an ideal candidate for Invisalign:
Degree of Misalignment
Invisalign is designed to correct mild to moderate tooth misalignment. More severe or complex issues may require more advanced treatment methods.
Adherence to Guidelines
The lion’s share of your treatment takes place without direct supervision from a dentist or orthodontist. It’s crucial to follow your treatment plan closely to achieve your desired orthodontic results.
