Brandon Florida Orthodontist Discusses Few Reasons Invisalign is preferred

Invisalign is a time proven orthodontic tool to help doctors and patients achieve esthetic and functional bites. Many people today are very interested in Aligner therapy, like Invisalign, to help correct overbites, overcrowding, crooked teeth,openbites, and Protruding teeth(buck teeth).

A few reasons why Invisalign is preffered is when compared to traditional methods include superior esthetic qualities, ease of use, and better hygiene during treatment. The applications for Invisalign have gone up over the last 12 years, since its inception, and Doctor proficiency has also improved. Buscigio Orthodontics have been using the system since 1999, we have been on the leading edge of its
capabilities. Most recently, the use of auxiliaries has widely improved our scope of treatment for using Invisalign .

As board certified orthodontic specialists, we are uniquely trained to use these tools in conjunction with treatment. Some examples of auxiliaries include buttons, brackets and other tools to facilitate the use of aligners to accomplish the majority of treatment. In the past, when more complicated treatment situations presented,
braces were automatically selected as the treatment of choice.

How does INVISALIGN® work?

Wear each set of Aligners for about two weeks.
Remove only to eat, drink, brush and floss.
Your teeth will move gradually each week.
Visit us every 8-10 weeks.
Total treatment time averages 6-15 months.
Average number of Aligners is between 18 and 30.
What are the benefits of early orthodontic evaluation?
Early evaluation provides both timely detection of problems and greater opportunity for more effective treatment. Prudent intervention guides growth and development, preventing serious problems later. When orthodontic intervention is not necessary, an orthodontist can carefully monitor growth and development and
begin treatment when it is ideal.

Why is age 7 considered the optimal time for screening?

By the age of 7, the first adult molars erupt, establishing the back bite. During this time, an orthodontist can evaluate front-to-back and side-to-side tooth relationships. For example, the presence of erupting incisors can indicate possible overbite, open bite, crowding or gummy smiles. Timely screening increases the chances for an incredible smile.

What are the advantages of interceptive treatment?

Some of the most direct results of interceptive treatment are:

Creating room for crowded, erupting teeth
Creating facial symmetry through influencing jaw growth
Reducing the risk of trauma to protruding front teeth (some refer it as buck teeth)
Preserving space for unerupted teeth
Reducing the need for tooth removal
Reducing treatment time with braces
