Invisalign®
If you’re looking into orthodontic treatment, you have a world of options at your fingertips. Dentistry has advanced and changed over the years, so you have to spend less money and less time to get the ideal smile. Invisalign is one such advancement. Rather than having to wear noticeable metal brackets and wires, you can adjust your teeth and bite with a series of invisible aligners. The best part? You can take them out to eat, so you don’t have dietary restrictions.
Our cosmetic dentists have experience creating Invisalign regimens for people with all kinds of cosmetic issues. From overbites to underbites to minor spacing and crowding issues, we can correct the problems that make you self-conscious about your teeth with safe, comfortable, and effective retainers.
Invisalign is the forerunner in clear aligners. After thousands of successful treatments, they have added unique features that help them truly stand apart from their competitors. These invisible aligners have many advantages over conventional braces and competing brands, including their compatibility with the iTero scanner that allows patients to see their future smile before starting treatment.
The iTero™ scanner is an intraoral scanner that helps dentists get precise, 3D models and measurements of your teeth and mouth. We can not only design your new smile and plan your treatment regimen with these scans, but you can see a picture of yourself with your future smile before ever putting in an aligner.
Seeing the end result before you ever decide to commit is a huge advantage. Not only do you have something to look forward to, but you can track your progress with each new aligner and play an active role in your treatment.
While Invisalign is getting better at correcting more moderate bite and crowding issues, it’s still not suited for more complex orthodontic problems. The ideal candidate falls into these categories:
Oral health is extremely important for the success of your treatment. Gums and teeth that aren’t in good health won’t respond predictably and are more likely to revert to their pre-treatment state. Thankfully, we can help you restore tooth and gum health with cavity fillings, gum disease treatment, and other endodontic procedures.
Braces are sometimes the best treatment, but Invisalign can be a strong substitute for people who meet certain qualifications. If you’re an ideal candidate for aligners, then they have several advantages over metal brackets, including:
We would love for everyone to have discreet Invisalign retainers, but not everyone is well-suited for this kind of treatment. Our dentists can assess your oral health and the severity of your alignment and bite issues to determine if Invisalign is right for you.
