The Invisalign aligners are highly effective in gradually moving teeth to their new positions by applying a moderate, consistent force. Unfortunately, the aligners typically are unable to exert the necessary force to effect some movements on their own.
When a tooth’s size, shape, or location make it impossible for it to move properly with just the Invisalign aligners, these attachments can help. Attachments help us move more forcefully and precisely in the required directions while improving how well the aligners are retained.
What information about Acworth Invisalign attachments should you know?
They’re tiny. Because Invisalign treatment is frequently chosen for its high level of privacy, some people may be concerned that attachments will draw attention to their treatment. The teeth are directly fused with tooth-colored composite material to form the attachments. They won’t be very obvious to others because they are quite little and will fit in well with your natural teeth. On the front teeth, however, attachments are occasionally necessary, particularly for incisors with pointed, overlapping, or uneven surfaces. In this instance, your therapy may be a bit more noticeable (but still lot more esthetic than braces!).
To give the aligner tray a place to rest, the attachments are often positioned in the middle of the tooth. The attachment shape that would work best for your teeth will be chosen by your orthodontist. The attachment may be round, triangular, square, or rectangular, depending on the kind of movement that is intended to be accomplished.
The process of inserting the aligners with the attachments in place could take some getting accustomed to. It can take some getting used to placing and removing the aligners correctly since the attachments click into the aligners at specific points, increasing their retention.
You must be careful when brushing around the attachments. During eating, plaque can accumulate around the attachments, so be sure to take the time to clean the area before reinstalling your aligner trays to avoid decalcification spots and cavities.
A significantly wider spectrum of orthodontic patients can now receive Invisalign therapy thanks to attachments. Prior to attachments, only mild to moderate malocclusions were best treated with Invisalign. Millions of dollars have been invested by Kennesaw Invisalign in research and development to enhance their polymers and add attachments, allowing experts to treat patients with more challenging problems and severe malocclusions.
Placing attachments is a simple procedure thus it needs proper fit. In order for the bonding agent to attach correctly, your orthodontist will prepare the surface of your tooth. A special curing light will make sure the material correctly hardens after a template marks the location of the attachments. Experts just buff the attachments from your teeth’s surface once they are done using them.
