Invisalign treatment has revolutionized orthodontic care, offering a discreet and convenient solution for achieving a straighter smile. At Burke Parkway Dental, we’re proud to offer this innovative treatment option to our patients, helping them achieve the smile they’ve always wanted without the hassle of traditional braces. Let’s explore what Invisalign® entails and why it’s become a popular choice for individuals seeking orthodontic treatment.
Understanding Invisalign: A Clear Alternative to Braces
Invisalign® is a modern approach to orthodontic treatment that utilizes clear, removable aligners to gradually straighten teeth. Unlike traditional braces with metal wires and brackets, Invisalign® aligners are virtually invisible, making them an ideal choice for individuals who prefer a more discreet treatment option.
How Does Invisalign Work?
The Invisalign treatment process begins with a consultation with one of our experienced dentists. During this visit, we’ll evaluate your oral health and discuss your treatment goals to determine if Invisalign® is right for you.
If Invisalign is deemed suitable for your needs, we’ll create a customized treatment plan tailored to your unique smile. Using advanced 3-D computer imaging technology, we’ll design a series of clear aligners that will gradually shift your teeth into the desired position over time.
You’ll wear each set of aligners for about two weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. As you progress through the series of aligners, your teeth will gradually move into alignment until they reach their final position prescribed by your dentist.
Throughout your treatment journey, you’ll visit our dental office approximately every six weeks to ensure that your Invisalign treatment is progressing as planned. Total treatment time typically ranges from 9 to 15 months, with the average patient wearing between 18 and 30 aligners.
Why Choose Invisalign?
There are numerous benefits to choosing Invisalign® for your orthodontic treatment, including:
Discreet Appearance: Invisalign® aligners are virtually invisible, allowing you to straighten your teeth without drawing attention to your treatment.
Removable Design: Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign® aligners are removable, giving you the freedom to eat, drink, and maintain oral hygiene with ease.
Comfortable Fit: The smooth, custom-made aligners are designed for optimal comfort, minimizing irritation to the gums and cheeks commonly associated with traditional braces.
Proven Effectiveness: Invisalign® has been clinically proven to effectively straighten teeth in orthodontic practices nationwide, with over 70% of U.S. orthodontists certified to provide Invisalign treatment.
