Invisalign in Lafayette, CA

Do you want aligned teeth and a better bite? If you seek a flawless smile and would like to achieve that look without metal wires and brackets, then the Invisalign treatment is the answer. Invisalign is one of the most prevalent ways to straighten your teeth discreetly. At Lala Dental in Lafayette, California, Dr. Meshkin offers advanced Invisalign treatments to help you achieve your desired smile in a much more seamless fashion.

What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that utilizes clear plastic trays that are removable instead of metal brackets and wires. A series of transparent aligners are custom-fabricated using 3D computer modeling so they rest accurately over your teeth. They have a cozy fit and put gentle pressure on your teeth, moving them into alignment over time.

Who Are Ideal Candidates for Invisalign?

Invisalign can address various problems, including:

• Crowded teeth
• Gaps between teeth
• Rotated teeth 
• Spaces between teeth
• Overbite or underbite
• All of the issues mentioned above and more can be corrected with Invisalign.

The Invisalign Process

First, Dr. Meshkin will determine your suitability for the Invisalign process. After making sure that you meet all the requirements, Dr. Meshkin will take impressions of your smile and send them to the Invisalign manufacturer. The Invisalign aligners are made from clear, comfortable plastic, which may take a few weeks. Each aligner is designed to represent the arrangement of your teeth as they slowly move towards their ideal positions. 

Once you receive your aligners, you must wear each aligner set for at least 20-22 hours a day and then switch to the next one after a fortnight. Additionally, you must schedule brief checkups with Dr. Meshkin every four to six weeks. This will enable us to monitor your progress and confirm that the treatment progresses smoothly and according to expectations.

The Benefits of Invisalign

Invisible braces have numerous advantages over conventional braces, including:

• The aligners are transparent. Most people around you will not be aware that you are wearing braces.
• Invisalign treatment is significantly faster than traditional braces.
• You have fewer appointments when compared to metal braces
• The Invisalign system moves teeth with greater precision than braces.
• The tooth pressure with Invisalign is gentle, so you feel minimal discomfort. 
• Invisalign is made of dental-grade plastic, which is more comfortable than braces.
• The aligners are removable. They can be removed to perform your oral functions like eating and brushing teeth. 
• There are no dietary restrictions.
• They make it possible to maintain your oral health.
