Invisalign Clear Aligners
A Better Way To A Straighter Smile
Whether you’re a teenager trying to make it through picture day or an adult trying to make a good impression at work, the idea of having to get metal braces for months on end just doesn’t seem worth it. Traditional metal braces are uncomfortable and, let’s face it, they don’t look great.
But you have another option. A way to fix your tooth misalignment, crowding, or bite problems – without all the wires and the months of close-mouthed smiles. Here at Addison Family Dentistry, we offer Invisalign clear aligner treatment. These custom-made plastic trays will gradually realign your teeth, all while being more comfortable, practically invisible, and removable!
What You Get With Our Invisalign Treatment
- Customized Orthodontic Treatment
- The Care Of An Invisalign-Certified Dentist
- A Smile You Can Feel Proud Of
Our Invisalign Process
Step 1
The first step in your Invisalign journey is an initial consultation with Dr. Sara Saremi. She has undergone advanced training to gain her certification in Invisalign, so she knows exactly what to look for in a great candidate.
Step 2
After conducting a thorough oral examination and taking X-rays, Dr. Saremi will discuss what type of results you could expect to achieve through Invisalign treatment and will draw up a customized timeline for you so you know what to expect throughout the process.
Step 3
In order to craft your aligners, Dr. Saremi will capture impressions of your mouth and send them off to the Invisalign laboratory. Once we receive your trays, we’ll call you back in to show you how to use and maintain them. You’ll need to wear each set of aligners for 22 hours each day for about two weeks before you advance to your next pair. Every six to eight weeks, we’ll call you in for a short visit, where we’ll examine the progress you’ve made throughout the treatment and supply you with your new sets of trays.
Step 4
Towards the end of your treatment, we’ll discuss retainer options with you. These will keep your aligned teeth from gradually shifting back into their original positions, undoing the hard work you’ve put into straightening them.
Orthodontic Issues Invisalign Can Address
- Overbite: When your upper front teeth are protruding over your lower teeth.
- Underbite: When your lower teeth are protruding further than your upper teeth.
- Crossbite: When your upper and lower teeth don't connect correctly when you bite down.
- Spacing issues: When there are gaps between teeth.
- Crowding: When your teeth are overcrowded or crooked.
- Minor rotations: When your teeth are slightly twisted or angled.
If you face any of these orthodontic issues, get in touch! Our dentists can assess your smile and explore Invisalign as a possible treatment option. Let’s work together to give you your dream smile!
The Benefits Of Invisalign
- Faster Average Treatment Time: Traditional braces treatment can take up to two years, depending on the severity of the issues you face. Invisalign aligners can straighten your smile in an average time of eight to 14 weeks!
- Comfortable & Safe: Instead of having jagged, sharp, and irritating metal in your mouth, you can use clear, smooth, and custom-fitted aligners that are built to comfortably fit over your teeth to gradually move them into their ideal positions.
- Discreet: The most popular benefit of aligners is that they’re discreet. Many people don’t even notice that they’re in patients’ mouths when they’re wearing them!
- Convenient: Because they’re removable, you won’t have to alter your diet or have a difficult time brushing and flossing. Instead, all you have to do is simply remove them from your mouth, giving you easy access to your teeth.
- Fewer Office Visits: Since aligners are gradually changed by the patient every few weeks, regular office visits are not required as much as they are for traditional braces, as they don't need adjustments.
- Boosted Confidence: Having a straight smile can boost your confidence! Invisalign helps you achieve this straight smile without the drawbacks associated with normal braces.
