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 scan 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 scan 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.
Life Changing Results
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.
