The Invisalign Treatment Process
The first step in receiving the Invisalign treatment is to consult orthodontists in Southington experienced with the Invisalign process. The best orthodontist in Southington to begin the Invisalign process will fit your needs financially, and provide a comfortable environment in 6 months to two years.

After all preliminary factors are established, a treatment plan is generated with teeth impressions, x-rays and pictures. Your orthodontist will show how your teeth will be shifted as well as the duration of the treatment. Custom-made plastic aligners are then manufactured from the impressions taken and presented to you with the instructions to wear them each day, with the exceptions of mealtimes and times of dental hygiene. New aligners are typically assigned to an individual every two weeks, which are gradually altered to increase pressure on the teeth.

About Invisalign
The Invisalign aligner is made out of a thermoplastic material to your orthodontist’s specifications. Each patient will need a progression of aligners to gradually move the teeth to their desired location. Some patients will need as few as five; others will need as many as 50, depending on how much movement is needed. A few patients will need to have a small attachment device bonded to one or more teeth to assist in the straightening process.
The aligner needs to be worn at least 20 hours a day. Each aligner in the progression will need to be worn for two or three weeks, before moving on to the next aligner. For most patients, the entire process will take a year. A retainer will need to be worn for perhaps another year after finishing with the aligners.

When one person flashes a beautiful smile at another, neurons in that other person’s brain will also light up even though he is not the one smiling. This goes to show that smiling at someone or being at the receiving end of a smile will elevate both your moods.

Andy Rooney’s words about smiling on your own probably ring true for everyone. And he should know since he dedicated much of his life to making people smile with his wry humor. When we smile when no one else is around, it is the most genuine smile we can experience. It is a marker of true joy. It is not a polite smile to a stranger on the street or a forced greeting smile with a coworker. Smiling alone is just for you. Smiling alone is happiness personified.
