What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment solution that uses a series of clear plastic aligners to straighten your smile. The treatment is customizable to provide optimal results and address your unique dental problems. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign doesn't use wires or metal braces, and it's snug design makes it comfortable inside the mouth. It also makes oral hygiene easier.

Our team works with adults 18 and older, whether you've had orthodontic relapse after prior treatment or you've never worn braces before. Typically treatment takes around 12-18 months, after which you'll see significant improvements in your smile. This treatment works best on mild to moderate bite issues, including:

• Crooked teeth
• Unwanted gaps
• Crowded teeth
• Underbites
• Overbites

How Invisalign Works

Invisalign treatment works by gently and precisely applying pressure to misaligned teeth. You'll replace your aligners with new ones every two weeks as your misaligned teeth shift into position. Changing the trays gradually moves the teeth further in the alignment process. Once fitted into your mouth, you must wear the plastic aligners for at least twenty-two hours daily, removing them mainly for eating or brushing your teeth. Our dentist will monitor your progress and make adjustments as needed to ensure your treatment stays on track.

Custom Invisalign in Burke, Springfield

At our office, we offer personalized Invisalign treatment services for patients who want to fix mild to moderate misalignment and bite issues. Our dentist will conduct a thorough oral examination during your first visit to ensure you are the right candidate. We will carefully examine your gums, teeth, and jaws to check for oral health conditions such as gum disease or tooth decay. If we find any complications, we'll recommend solving the existing dental issues before proceeding with the Invisalign treatment.

Once you've passed our oral health test, our dentist will discuss the treatment process with you to ensure you adhere to the requirements. We will then use a digital scanner to take detailed images of your smile to design your custom treatment plan. This technology can even show you how your smile will look once treatment is complete. Our dentist will then forward these details to the lab, where your personalized Invisalign trays are fabricated.

Once your clear aligners arrive, we'll contact you to come and fit them in our office. We will schedule an appointment after a few weeks, where our dental professional will supervise your oral health and ensure the aligners are working perfectly. Our dentist will set expectations for how long your treatment will take and make adjustments as needed to help you meet your orthodontic goals.

At the end of your treatment, you'll need a retainer to keep your teeth from drifting back into their original alignment. We can provide traditional or Vivera® retainers according to your needs, budget, and preferences. Vivera retainers use similar clear plastic as Invisalign trays and are custom-made to suit your unique smile. We also offer a teeth-whitening kit at the end of the treatment to help you enhance your smile even further.

Benefits of Invisalign

Besides the personalization benefits and convenience that you'll get from Invisalign, there are several other advantages that you'll enjoy. These include:

• Better Aesthetics: Invisalign trays are invisible, so they won't affect your overall appearance.
• Comfort and Flexibility: With Invisalign, you don't need to worry about metal points and wires inside your mouth. You also can remove the trays while eating and cleaning your teeth, so they won't disrupt your usual routine.
• No Diet Restrictions: Since you'll be removing your aligners when eating, you don't need to modify your diet. You can continue to enjoy your favorite meals and snacks without concern.

Caring for Invisalign is also fairly easy. You'll only need to clean them with lukewarm water before reinserting, such as after meals or practicing dental hygiene. When you aren't wearing your Invisalign, you should keep them somewhere safe, ideally in their case. This helps avoid misplacing or damaging them, which would mean returning to the dentist and getting new trays.
