Invisalign® orthodontic treatment is the newest, most innovative method of correcting problems with bite, teeth alignment or gaps between teeth. With Invisalign, you bypass the discomfort and unattractive appearance of metal braces and replace them with nearly invisible acrylic guides that fit over your teeth..

What Is Invisalign?

It’s a remarkable system of improving the alignment and placement of your teeth by using a series of clear acrylic aligners to gradually move your teeth into their ideal positions. These aligners are so nearly invisible that your friends and family may never even notice that you are receiving orthodontic treatment. The improvement resulting from Invisalign is identical to the result of metal braces without the discomfort of the metal brackets and wires. Plus, you won’t have trouble eating certain foods or keeping your teeth clean. That’s because Invisalign aligners can be removed for meals and cleaning. Invisalign generally aligns teeth more quickly than conventional metal braces.

How Invisalign Works

First, your dentist will make a careful examination of your teeth, mouth and bone structure to ensure you are a good candidate for Invisalign treatment. The improvements you wish to make in your smile will be discussed. Then your treatment plan will begin.

We will take a mold of your teeth and images of your face and mouth and send these to Invisalign. Technicians at Invisalign begin to plan the series of aligners that will gently ease your teeth into their proper position. Your custom aligners are sent back to us. You’ll come see and will show you how to use them.

You’ll check back with one of our dentists from time to time to ensure that all is going well, but you’ll skip the frequent appointments required to tighten metal braces every couple of weeks.

Every one to two weeks, you’ll stop using one aligner and start using the next one in the series. The number of aligners you receive depends on the degree of alignment your smile requires.

First, during your dental checkup, your dentist will conduct a thorough examination of your teeth, mouth, and bone structure to determine your eligibility for Invisalign treatment. Together, you'll discuss the improvements you desire for straight teeth and a brighter smile. Then, your personalized treatment plan will commence.

We will create a mold of your teeth and capture images of your face and mouth, forwarding them to Invisalign. Skilled technicians at Invisalign will meticulously plan the series of clear aligners tailored to gently guide your teeth into their proper position. Your custom aligners will be returned to us, and during your next visit, we'll provide you with detailed instructions on how to use them.

Throughout the process, you'll have periodic check-ins with one of our dentists to ensure the smooth progress of your treatment. Unlike traditional metal braces that require frequent tightening appointments, Invisalign offers a more convenient and comfortable approach.

Invisalign vs. Metal Braces

When you were growing up, you undoubtedly saw many of your friends wearing metal braces, sometimes for years. For both teens and adults, Invisalign eliminates the problems associated with metal braces, including:

The discomfort of metal brackets and wires inside the mouth
Soft tissue injuries resulting from these wires
Allergic reactions to the metal or latex parts
Tooth decay resulting from the difficulty of keeping teeth clean
Changes to the roots of teeth that damage the viability of those teeth
The necessity of avoiding many types of foods

Invisalign clear aligners are clean acrylic trays that are easy to slip on and off your teeth. You can brush and floss your teeth normally every day. Because you take them off when you eat, your choices of food and drink are not restricted. Thus you eliminate these discomforts and causes of damage to the teeth.

When reminiscing about your youth, you likely witnessed friends enduring years with traditional metal braces. Invisalign offers a revolutionary alternative for both teens and adults, addressing the common issues associated with metal braces. These include discomfort of metal brackets and wires, potential soft tissue injuries, allergic reactions, difficulties in maintaining oral hygiene, and the necessity to avoid certain foods.

In contrast, Invisalign clear aligners, made of smooth plastic, gradually shift misaligned teeth without causing discomfort or damage. Their easy removal facilitates regular brushing and flossing, allowing you to enjoy a wider range of food and drink choices without restrictions. The discrete nature of Invisalign aligners ensures that your orthodontic journey is seamless and comfortable. Experience the convenience and comfort of Invisalign at Smart Smile Dental, where we prioritize your dental well-being and confidence. Schedule your initial consultation to explore the transformative possibilities for your smile.

FAQ about Invisalign

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that involves moving your teeth without braces, wires, or rubber bands. It uses a set of trays to move your teeth and is more comfortable for patients.
How is Invisalign different from traditional braces?

Invisalign is clear and can hardly be seen even at close distances, unlike brackets and braces which are often described as a mouthful of metal.

Invisalign is not only virtually invisible but also removable. This allows you to eat your favorite foods during treatment without restriction. Invisalign is a clear, custom-made aligner that you replace every two weeks. Unlike traditional braces which need to be adjusted and wires changed periodically, the aligners are made of a transparent material. This flexibility makes it easier to brush and floss without having to navigate around brackets or wires. It also provides a more comfortable experience.

Invisalign also requires less visits to the orthodontist to adjust the aligners compared to braces because the treatment progression is planned in advance by creating multiple sets of aligners. It is especially useful for those with busy schedules, or who have trouble making frequent dental visits. Invisalign aligners have been designed to be gentler on the soft tissues and gums of the mouth. This reduces the chances of irritation or discomfort that is often associated with braces.
Is the treatment process faster with Invisalign?

Yes, the treatment process can be faster with Invisalign because we get more patient compliance. The brackets and wires don't break and the process is seamless, with patients wearing the trays and changing them at home. They don't need to come in as often as they would with braces.
Is Invisalign more comfortable than braces?

Invisalign is also more comfortable than traditional braces since it lacks the metal hardware like wires, brackets, and rubber bands, making it a more natural and convenient choice for most people.

Invisalign is also less noticeable and more comfortable than traditional braces. There is minimal irritation of the lips, cheeks and gums without the use of metal brackets or wires. Invisalign's smooth plastic aligners gently press on the teeth to gradually guide them into their desired position, without the discomfort and soreness that braces can cause. The comfort factor is particularly beneficial to individuals who are active or play contact sports. There's no need for sharp edges or injuries caused by broken brackets and wires. Invisalign is a great option to achieve a straighter, more attractive smile without the discomfort and hassle of traditional braces.
How long does Invisalign treatment usually take?

Usually, the treatment duration depends on the severity of the bite, but it's anywhere between a year or a year and a half.
What is the process of getting Invisalign?

We take your photos and scan you. There is no need to put a bunch of goop in your mouth to take impressions. After taking the records, we design your case and then you come in and get your trays on.
How many trays will I need for the Invisalign treatment?

Every case is different in terms of how many trays you will need for the Invisalign. It depends on a case to case basis, but on an average, you change the trays out every two weeks, so depending on your length of treatment, that's how many trays you would get.
Can I still get Invisalign if I have gum disease or cavities?

If you have a lot of gum disease or cavities, they need to be treated first. You would not be disqualified, but we need to make you healthy before we do your Invisalign treatment.

We would love to see you for a free consultation to answer questions specific to you. You can give us a call today at (714) 744-1242 to schedule your free consultation.
