Invisalign with Mandibular Advancement in Leesburg, VA
While Invisalign has quickly become a popular orthodontic treatment alternative to traditional braces, one of the biggest drawbacks to this treatment historically has been that it has not been able to help patients who had severe malocclusions. Thanks to advancements in orthodontic research, it is now possible to correct severe malocclusions by using Invisalign with Mandibular Advancement, which will give you that straight, healthy looking smile you have always dreamed of.
The traditional method for correcting malocclusions has been Herbst appliances, headgear, extractions, and/or metal braces, which use elastics that hook from the lower jaw to the upper jaw to apply steady force to draw the lower jaw forward. Invisalign with Mandibular Advancement aligners removes the need for these brackets, and instead uses BPA-free plastic, FDA-approved clear aligners combined with precision wings, which interlock to hold the lower jaw forward and which are located on the lower and upper aligners. Whenever the patients bites down, these wings eliminate the overjet by holding the lower jaw forward. For younger patients who are still growing, the aligners continue to align the teeth while the wings correct the bite by moving the lower jaw forward.
Please note: mandibular advancement is only a viable treatment option for Invisalign Teen, because unlike adults, teens jaws are still growing, and as such, they are able to be pulled forward using orthodontic treatment. Adults who have a malocclusion that could be corrected with mandibular advancement may require surgery to correct their issue.

Advantages of Invisalign with Mandibular Advancement
Unlike standard mandibular advancement, which requires patients to be compliant with wearing the elastics, the precision wings are always in the patient’s mouth while they are wearing their aligners. These aligners will still have to be worn at least 22 hours a day in order to be effective, however, and should only be removed when the patient is eating, drinking, brushing and/or flossing. It will also be necessary to continue changing your aligners every one to two weeks.
