at Riverside Dental Group would like to challenge you to a quiz on Invisalign.

Questions

Q1. True or false – Invisalign consists of customized clear alignment trays that are designed to utilize gentle force to gradually straighten teeth.

Q2. True or false –Invisalign is a viable option for every patient of any age.

Q3. True or false – You can buy Invisalign over-the-counter because it’s a one-size-fits all treatment.

Answers

A1. TRUE – Invisalign is innovative in that it uses clear plastic alignment trays which fit over your teeth seamlessly. Invisalign combines the same basic principles of traditional orthodontic options without a conspicuous metal look. Many adults and teenagers are particular fond of the design because they can go about their lives without obvious metal on their teeth.

A2. FALSE – Not every single patient will make a great candidate for Invisalign, and younger patients sometimes do better with traditional orthodontics. It all begins with a consultation so that we can figure out your specific and individual orthodontic needs. If your case of misalignment or malocclusion is best served by alignment trays, impressions and images of your mouth and teeth will be procured.

A3. FALSE – Once your measurements and impressions are recorded, they will be forwarded to a lab which fabricates the alignment trays. Each set of Invisalign trays is designed to meet individual needs. You will be advised to change to a fresh set of alignment trays every two weeks or so.
