Invisalign is a popular choice among patients who want to improve their smiles discreetly. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign uses a series of aligners to gradually shift your teeth into the desired position.

What is Invisalign?

In the world of orthodontic treatment, there are many options to help fix your teeth. Traditionally, braces are the go-to option for most individuals to help with alignment and straightening of teeth. But, there are other options out there! One option that is lesser known is Invisalign. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign uses a series of clear aligners to straighten teeth. The trays are removable so you can easily remove them to eat, drink, brush, and floss! They are also smooth and comfortable to use.

Invisalign is a great alternative to braces for many different reasons. First, they are completely transparent. So, no one will know you are wearing them. Next, they are more comfortable to wear than metal braces, which use wires that can poke at them and cause discomfort or pain. Finally, they are also much more convenient than traditional braces because you can take them in and out as needed without a visit to the orthodontist. Simply pop them in when you’re ready to eat dinner or take them off before bed – it’s that easy!

Invisalign is a great option for many patients who want a straighter smile but don’t want to deal with the complex treatments that come with braces. Talk to Dr. Lee today to find out if Invisalign is right for you!

What is a root canal procedure?

A root canal is a treatment for an infected tooth where the soft tissue inside the root is removed along with the damaged nerve. The goal is to remove the infection to prevent the spread of decay to the rest of the

Why Choose Invisalign?

Many patients prefer Invisalign because the aligners are nearly invisible and can be removed for important occasions like job interviews, family events, or special occasions like weddings and graduations. The ability to remove the aligners to eat and clean your teeth is also a benefit, especially for patients who experience sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures and to those who suffer from TMJ disorder. Unlike traditional braces that can leave your mouth sore and broken after an adjustment, the aligner trays apply gentle pressure to the teeth to move them gradually over time. The smooth plastic surface allows for comfortable wear that’s free of irritating metal brackets and wires.

Most patients are candidates for Invisalign treatment, but it’s important to discuss your needs and concerns with your dentist to determine if this system is right for you.

When it comes to straightening your smile, you have a lot of choices. Traditional orthodontics with metal brackets and wires work great for many people, but others prefer the convenience and discretion of Invisalign treatment. To help you decide if Invisalign is right for your needs, we’ve answered a few common questions we hear from our patients about the process.

How is the Invisalign process different?

The first step of receiving Invisalign treatment is similar to any traditional orthodontic treatment. Your dentist will examine your teeth, take X-rays, and consult with you about your goals for your smile and oral health. Unlike braces, though, there are no brackets or wires placed on your teeth during your first visit. Instead, your dentist will take impressions of your upper and lower arches. These impressions are sent to the Invisalign lab where your custom aligners will be made.

Once your aligners are ready, you’ll return to your dentist’s office for your first appointment. At this visit, you’ll receive the first aligner in the series. You’ll also be taught how to apply and remove the aligners properly. Then, you’ll be instructed to wear the aligner throughout the day, only removing it to eat and drink, and clean your smile. Each new aligner you receive will be slightly straighter than the last one until you’ve achieved your ideal smile.

When it’s time to receive your next set of aligners, you’ll again meet with your dentist to have them placed. Once you’ve completed your series of custom-made aligners, you’ll have a beautiful and healthy smile!

Is Invisalign right for you?

There are several factors that go into determining if Invisalign is a good option for you, including your treatment goals and your schedule. However, in general, candidates should have good oral health and be committed to wearing the aligners for at least 20-22 hours per day. You should also be willing to change your eating habits and take care to keep your aligners clean for the best results.

Finally, you should know that the cost of Invisalign depends on your individual treatment plan. The best way to determine the cost of the treatment is to schedule a consultation with your dentist. Your dentist will be able to assess your needs and develop a custom treatment plan for you. The cost of your treatment with Invisalign should factor into your decision but shouldn’t be the only deciding factor in whether or not it is the right treatment for you.
