The Clear Way to Straighten Your Teeth
Convenience, comfort, and clear design are some of the main reasons people choose Invisalign to straighten their smiles.
For teens and adults alike, a straight smile can boost your confidence and improve the function of your teeth and bite. Discover the discrete benefits of Invisalign for you or your child by visiting us for an initial consultation.
How Does Invisalign Work?
Invisalign is an orthodontics treatment used to align your teeth and bite. This treatment uses clear, removable aligners as opposed to fixed metal brackets and wires like traditional braces.
Invisalign aligners are custom-made based on your unique teeth. When you wear your aligners, gentle pressure helps move your teeth to their intended position. Wearing your aligners for at least 22 hours a day is recommended in order to achieve optimal results.
You will be given a new set of aligners as your teeth shift throughout the process.
The Invisalign Process
The Invisalign process is detailed and customized to each patient. We’ll start by examining your teeth to determine if Invisalign is the right course of action for your smile.
Consultation
During your consultation appointment, we’ll go over the Invisalign process, expectations, and cost to ensure you feel confident and comfortable with this treatment. We encourage you to ask us any questions you may have at this time, and our friendly team is happy to provide you with more information.
Creating a Plan
Once we’ve determined you’re ready to begin the Invisalign process, we’ll start with a 3D scan of your teeth. This series of detailed images are necessary for creating the custom aligners that will gradually straighten your smile.
It can take a couple of weeks for the aligners to be made. When they are ready, we’ll schedule you for a fitting.
Fitting Your Aligners
Coming in for a fitting will help ensure your aligners sit securely over your teeth and are trimmed correctly around the gums. The specialized plastic material is designed for your comfort, but it’s important to note, like with any change, it takes a little time to get used to.
Following Up
Throughout your Invisalign journey, we’ll schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments. Typically, these appointments are scheduled 6–8 weeks apart until your treatment is complete.
Tips for Taking Care of Your Aligners
When your Invisalign aligners are taken care of, so are your teeth. We want to help you achieve the smile you’ve always envisioned and will go over wear and care instructions with you during your fitting appointment.
Some common tips include:
- Take out your aligners when eating or drinking anything other than water
- Protect your aligners by putting them in their case when not in use
- Rinse and gently brush your aligners every night
- Remove food or debris from your mouth before putting your aligners in
