Clear Aligners

[00:00:05.03] - Allan Thomas Invisalign treatment is for those people who know that they've got teeth that want them to look better because they're misaligned, or rotated, or tipped, or something like that. Or it's for those people who, because of their current biting situation, we need to create a better bite for them, in which case we want to move the teeth into a better position for them. [00:00:33.19] The treatment process with Invisalign or clear aligners is want to get a scan of the teeth. We use a 3D scanner. Scan the upper teeth and the lower teeth, and the way the teeth come together, with just a couple of photos. That's all the information that we're going to need to know what position is going to look right on a person's face and what the outcome is gonna be. [00:00:58.22] Invisalign treatment is going to affect people's lives in a couple of ways. First way is if it's an appearance thing. It's going to make things look better, look more symmetrical, look more even. The second way that it affects people's life is that sometimes we'll broaden an arch in order to actually get more air into the body because of bigger volume. You have a bigger space, so now you can take in more air. [00:01:29.05] For those people who have sleep apnea or suffer from that, it's a great way to help. A lot of times people come in with these ideas that this is going to be 2 years, 3 years. A lot of times you can do this in less time than you'd typically think.
