When Invisalign Comprehensive May Be Recommended

Invisalign Scottsdale, AZ

Invisalign® comprehensive is a treatment that addresses complex orthodontic cases, and while Invisalign Comprehensive follows the same route that traditional Invisalign® does, there are typically more aligners in the entire series, and additional measures are used to increase the amount of pressure put on the teeth. For example, buttons and attachments are typically used because these help exert more force on the teeth, thus encouraging a more substantial shift. Ultimately, Invisalign Comprehensive helps address cases that involve extremely crooked or crowded teeth.

Understanding Invisalign Comprehensive and how it differs for more extreme orthodontic cases can be helpful when looking into what options are offered by dentists. Continue reading to learn more about when this treatment method is recommended. 

Understanding when Invisalign Comprehensive is needed

Here are a few of the times when Invisalign Comprehensive is recommended by dental professionals. This information may be helpful for patients to review when looking into all their available options.

The need for Invisalign Comprehensive

Invisalign Comprehensive is recommended by dentists or orthodontists when the teeth are extremely crowded or crooked. For example, many individuals experience the need for mild treatment when it comes to straightening out a tooth that is out of place. In other situations, the teeth are forced in all sorts of directions due to crowding. Minor misalignment cases can be addressed through the use of traditional Invisalign. However, those who have more serious problems may require Invisalign Comprehensive. 

When Invisalign was first created, it was only able to address minor to moderate orthodontic problems. As time has progressed and technology has improved, Invisalign Comprehensive has been created as a way to broaden what types of issues can be corrected. Nowadays, just about any type of complex case can be treated with Invisalign. 

What to know

When it comes to Invisalign Comprehensive, there are a few things for patients to know before they undergo the entire treatment process. Having an understanding of these things can help ensure that the treatment process goes smoothly and ultimately ends with success. Here are a few things to be aware of ahead of time. 

  • Invisalign Comprehensive requires serious discipline when it comes to wear times, as the aligners must be worn for a minimum of 22 hours a day
  • Aligners should be cleaned thoroughly at least daily to avoid bacterial buildup
  • The wearer should remove the aligners when eating and drinking to avoid bacteria buildup or damage
  • Skipping dental appointments can make the process take longer, which can ultimately skew the results and cost more money overall
