How does Invisalign Treatment Work?
Your Invisalign® clear aligners are
custom-made for you. The aligners are virtually invisible and fit snugly over
your teeth.
Each aligner shifts your teeth slightly,
moving them horizontally and vertically and even rotating them when needed.
Your aligners are engineered to use the right amount of force in the right
place at the right time.
When you change to the next set of aligners
(typically every week) your teeth gradually move into position, following a
custom treatment plan mapped out by your doctor.
Only Invisalign clear aligners are made of
proprietary, multilayer SmartTrack® material to gently shift your teeth into
place Best Dentist West Springfield MA
Dentures & Partial Dentures
A denture is a removable dental appliance
replacement for missing teeth and surrounding tissue. They are made to closely
resemble your natural teeth and may even enhance your smile.
There are two types of dentures - complete and
partial dentures. Complete dentures are used when all of the teeth are missing,
while partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain. A Partial
denture not only fills in the spaces created by missing teeth, it prevents
other teeth from shifting.
A Complete denture may be either
“conventional” or “immediate.” A conventional type is made after the teeth have
been removed and the gum tissue has healed, usually taking 4 to 6 weeks. During
this time the patient will go without teeth. Immediate dentures are made in
advance and immediately placed after the teeth are removed, thus preventing the
patient from having to be without teeth during the healing process. Once the
tissues shrink and heal, adjustments will have to be made.
Dentures are very durable appliances and will
last many years, but may have to be remade, repaired, or readjusted due to
normal wear.
Reasons for dentures:
·
Complete Denture - Loss of all teeth in an arch.
·
Partial Denture - Loss of several teeth in an arch.
·
Enhancing smile and facial tissues.
·
Improving chewing, speech, and digestion.
What does getting dentures involve?
The process of getting dentures requires
several appointments, usually over several weeks. Highly accurate impressions
(molds) and measurements are taken and used to create your custom denture.
Several “try-in” appointments may be necessary to ensure proper shape, color,
and fit. At the final appointment, your dentist will precisely adjust and place
the completed denture, ensuring a natural and comfortable fit.
It is normal to experience increased saliva
flow, some soreness, and possible speech and chewing difficulty, however this
will subside as your muscles and tissues get used to the new dentures.
