Question 1

How does Invisalign treatment work to improve my smile?

Accepted Answer

Once you choose Invisalign clear braces to straighten your teeth, Dr. Rosenbaum and the friendly staff at NorthPointe Dental Clinic will schedule you for a consultation. During this initial appointment, your teeth will be examined and impressions will be taken. These impressions will then be used to craft a series of clear plastic aligners that will gradually shift your teeth into the most attractive alignment. Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks before the patient moves to the next set of aligners in their treatment plan.

Question 2

How long will the Invisalign process take to straighten my teeth?

Accepted Answer

Total treatment time for most patients with mild to moderate alignment or spacing problems usually takes between 12 and 18 months. Patients will change their Invisalign aligner every two weeks and should visit Dr. Rosenbaum once every 6 weeks or so. More complicated cases can take longer to treat. We recommend a comprehensive examination with Dr. Rosenbaum so that we can give you a more accurate estimate of how long your treatment will take.

Question 3

Why is orthodontic treatment important?

Accepted Answer

The practice of orthodontics focuses on the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of tooth, jawbone, and facial irregularities. This branch of dentistry deals with issues related to the alignment of teeth or the jaw. If left untreated, patients with these problems can have an increased risk of tooth decay, possible tooth loss, pain, and even digestive problems. That is why it is so important to see a quality orthodontist as soon as you learn that such a visit is necessary.

Question 5

What is the recommended age for my child to see an orthodontist?

Accepted Answer

Research suggests that early treatment can help patients avoid surgery or more serious complications later in life. Here at NorthPointe Family Dentistry, we recommend that children visit an orthodontist by age 7, or earlier if a problem has been detected by a parents, a dentist, or a physician. However, it is important to note that orthodontic treatment can be started at any age.

Question 6

Will Invisalign interfere with playing sports or an instrument?

Accepted Answer

Invisalign is a wonderful tooth straightening option because it can be removed to play sports, take pictures, attend special events, or play a musical instrument. Patients will need to be sure that they wear their aligners approximately 22 hours a day. Anything less could interfere with your specific orthodontic plan and prolong your treatment.

Question 7

I am 42. Am I too old for orthodontic treatment?
