The Discreet Way to Straighten Your Smile
There’s never been a better time to straighten your teeth with the most advanced clear aligner in the world. Our office is proud to be a certified provider of Invisalign clear aligners, which give you a clear, convenient, and comfortable option to achieve the smile you’ve always wanted. Here are some of the top advantages to this orthodontic treatment option:
1. Faster Treatment
Invisalign's approach to teeth straightening offers a quicker path to achieving your desired smile compared to traditional braces. With the possibility of changing aligners every week, the treatment process is accelerated, allowing for visible improvements in a shorter time. This speed can be particularly beneficial for mature adults who might require more nuanced adjustments. Depending on individual responses to treatment, the intervals between aligner changes might be adjusted to optimize outcomes, offering a personalized pace that matches your unique dental needs.
2. Proven Results
The efficacy of Invisalign is backed by innovative technology. The SmartTrack® material and SmartForce® features are specifically engineered to enhance the precision and predictability of tooth movement. These technologies are clinically proven to exert the necessary amount of force in the right direction, improving the control over each tooth's movement. This scientific approach ensures that the treatment outcomes are not only effective but also align with orthodontic best practices.
3. Better Fit
Comfort is a cornerstone of the Invisalign treatment, largely due to the SmartTrack material used to manufacture the aligners. This material is designed for a snug fit that contours precisely to the unique shape of your teeth. Aligners made from SmartTrack material are not only comfortable but also easy to put on and take off. This feature significantly enhances the user experience, as the aligners blend seamlessly with your daily life without causing irritation or discomfort.
4. Effective
Invisalign's clear aligners are capable of treating a broad spectrum of dental issues, from minor tooth misalignments to more complex conditions such as crossbites, crowding, open bites, gapped teeth, overbites, and underbites. This versatility makes Invisalign suitable for a wide range of patients, including those who might have been hesitant about the capability of clear aligners to address their specific orthodontic needs.
5. Virtually Invisible
One of the most appealing features of Invisalign is the discretion it offers. The aligners are virtually invisible, meaning that most people won’t even notice you're undergoing orthodontic treatment. This aspect is particularly valued by adults and teens who are concerned about the aesthetic impact of traditional metal braces, as it allows them to achieve a better smile without compromising their appearance in social or professional settings.
6. Comfortable
The comfort provided by Invisalign extends beyond the physical fit of the aligners. Each tray is smooth and custom-made to avoid irritation that can come from the brackets and wires used in traditional braces. Moreover, being removable, they allow for normal brushing and flossing, which helps maintain oral hygiene without extra effort. You can also eat and drink whatever you like by simply removing the aligners, thereby avoiding the dietary restrictions associated with conventional braces.
7. Convenient
Invisalign aligns well with the demands of a busy lifestyle. The treatment requires fewer in-office visits — typically once every six weeks — compared to the frequent adjustments needed for braces. This convenience minimizes disruption to your daily schedule and reduces the time spent traveling to and from the orthodontist’s office. The ease of maintenance and management of the aligners also contributes to the overall convenience, making Invisalign a practical choice for individuals with active or hectic routines.
The Invisalign Treatment Process
Your First Consultation
At your initial consultation, we will discuss your orthodontic needs and evaluate whether Invisalign treatment is right for you.
Your Custom Treatment Plan
We will use a scanner such as the iTero® digital scanning system to create fast, precise 3D digital images of your teeth. Then we will map out a precise treatment plan, including the exact movements of your teeth and how long your treatment will be. You’ll even get to see how your teeth will move and preview your new smile.
Your Invisalign Clear Aligners
Your custom-made aligners will be made of Invisalign’s proprietary SmartTrack® material. They’re virtually invisible, so most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them during your teeth straightening.
Wear your Invisalign clear aligners 20 to 22 hours a day for the best results, and take them out only to eat, brush, and floss.
Your Progress
As you wear each set of aligners, your teeth will gently and gradually shift into place. We may recommend that you begin wearing a new set of aligners every week and schedule checkups every six weeks or so.
Taking Care of Your New Smile
When your treatment is complete, ask us about a Vivera® retainer. Vivera retainers are custom-made using the same state-of-the-art technology as Invisalign clear aligners.
