One of the best solutions to correct a crossbit is clear aligners. Our process begins with a thorough basic steps:
The Consultation Process
The first step to correcting a crossbite with Invisalign is a detailed consultation at our dental clinic. During this session, our team will conduct a thorough examination of your teeth and jaw. This assessment helps in determining the complexity of the crossbite and whether Invisalign is the best course of action. In some instances, a combination of Invisalign and other treatments, such as dental braces or even surgery, may be suggested for optimal results.
Invisalign’s Customization and Comfort
Each crossbite treatment plan is built from a digital scan of both arches, so the tray series is designed around where the upper and lower teeth mismatch, whether that is at the back or the front. Where aligners suit the case, nothing is fixed to the roof of the mouth, and the BPA-free trays have no wires to adjust.
Post-Treatment Care and Maintenance
Post-treatment care is crucial in maintaining the results achieved with Invisalign. We provide comprehensive guidance on aftercare, including the use of retainers to keep your teeth in their new position. Regular follow-up appointments and dental check-ups play a vital role in ensuring the long-term success of the treatment.
The Role of Technology in Our Invisalign Treatment
- Treatment Planning: The scan is used to map how far each tooth needs to move, so the plan can address a narrow arch itself rather than only straightening the teeth.
- Tracking Progress: At each check-up, your teeth are compared with the planned movements, so the tray series can be adjusted if any tooth in either arch is falling behind.
