Invisalign®
Did you know that you can have a beautiful, completely straight smile without the difficulties and restrictions that traditional braces bring? It’s true, with Invisalign®, you can!
Invisalign eliminates the need for the wires and brackets associated with braces, which means as you straighten your teeth, you’ll still be able to eat all the foods you love. It’s easy to see why the pokes from loose wires and the discomfort of brackets are quickly becoming a thing of the past.
1. Invisalign’s Aligners Are Nearly Invisible
Since the Invisalign aligners are clear, they allow you to address crooked teeth without highly visible metal braces.
2. You Don’t Have To Limit Your Activities
Since you can remove your aligners, you can still participate in activities that traditional braces might restrict.
3. Eat and Drink Whatever You Want
Unlike metal braces, with Invisalign, you just remove your aligners while you eat and drink.
4. They're Easy To Care For
Brush and floss as usual. There are no special dental items or special brushing techniques required with Invisalign’s aligners. Just remove the aligners to brush and floss. Then place them back in your mouth.
5. Invisalign Is a More Comfortable Teeth-Straightening Option
Your clear aligners consist of BPA-free smooth plastic. They are custom-designed for you, so your aligners only place gentle pressure on your teeth, slowly moving them into place.
Furthermore, since there aren’t any brackets or wires, bleeding and pain are unlikely.
Schedule Your Complementary Invisalign Consultation
At August Dental, your consultation to see if Invisalign is the right treatment for you is free. During your complimentary consultation, our team of professionals assess your oral health and dental issues to determine if Invisalign can give you the results you desire. If you’re a good candidate, here’s what you can expect during your Invisalign journey to straighter teeth.
Digital Imaging and Impressions
The first step in your Invisalign treatment is taking impressions and detailed images of your teeth.
We'll Create Your Personalized Treatment Plan
We combine art, science, and leading-edge technology to create your Invisalign treatment plan.
Your treatment plan details procedure steps, the length of treatment, the results the dentist expects, and the financial arrangements for care.
Your Smile-Transformation Timeline
There are many factors that affect your smile-transformation timeline. However, on average, a complete Invisalign treatment for adults is about a year and teenagers need about 18 months.
Let’s Get Started: Your First Set of Custom Aligners Are Ready
Once your aligners arrive, we’ll discuss how you should care for them. We will also show you how to wear them.
You’ll need to wear your aligners from 20 to 22 hours a day. It’s important to follow this schedule because it ensures your treatment timeline moves along as expected.
Each aligner gently moves your teeth into position. Throughout the course of your treatment, you’ll switch to a new set of aligners every couple of weeks.
Each new aligner builds upon the previous one, shifting the teeth about 1/10 mm per tray. As you change into your new aligners, you’ll begin to notice that your teeth are moving closer and closer together.
To make sure everything is on track, you’ll visit our office for an evaluation at regular intervals during your teeth-straightening treatment with Invisalign.
Following treatment, some patients receive a retainer. This ensures that their beautifully aligned smile stays that way.
Studies indicate that having a beautiful smile increases an individual’s confidence and self-esteem. Research also reveals that straighter teeth can lead to greater professional opportunities and higher income.
Chances are that once you finish your Invisalign treatment, you’ll want to smile at everyone you see.
