Dentist who specializes in Invisalign treatment
If you are seeking to correct crooked or misaligned teeth, we recommend considering Invisalign® treatment with our dentist at Smiland Dental. Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign provides a clear, almost invisible option for aligning teeth. These clear aligners work gently to move teeth into their proper position, helping you achieve the smile you desire.
Invisalign straightens teeth by gently shifting them into alignment
The Invisalign treatment involves wearing a series of clear aligners made of SmartTrack® material to gradually straighten teeth without brackets or wires. These aligners fit snugly over teeth and gently guide them towards a straighter smile.
Prior to beginning Invisalign, patients must have a consultation to discuss the treatment process and assess their smile. A detailed digital treatment plan will be created to illustrate the progression of their smile. Custom-fitting trays will be made at the Invisalign laboratory after digital scans, X-rays, and photos are taken and the patient approves the plan.
The process of creating Invisalign trays
It usually takes around four weeks to receive Invisalign trays. First, we take impressions or scans of the patient's teeth and send them, along with treatment notes, to the Invisalign factory. The factory then calculates the number of trays needed and sends us the specifications.
We carefully review the specifications, make any adjustments if necessary, and send the changes back to the factory. The factory then customizes the trays, with lab technicians trimming each one to fit the patient's gumline. Although there is a waiting period before treatment can start, this thorough process guarantees that the treatment will be both effective and comfortable.
Benefits of Invisalign
Invisalign offers numerous benefits, such as its clear and nearly invisible appearance. The clear aligners can be easily taken out for eating, allowing patients to enjoy their meals without any restrictions. Removing the aligners also simplifies the process of cleaning teeth, as there are no metal wires obstructing access. Straighter teeth are easier to maintain, leading to better oral hygiene and overall health. Crooked teeth can trap debris and bacteria, potentially resulting in cavities and gum disease if not addressed. In some cases, this can even lead to tooth loss or gum disease.
Adults and teenagers are typically the ideal candidates for Invisalign, as their bones and teeth are fully or mostly developed. Invisalign is most effective for patients with mild to moderate crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. Individuals with severe misalignments or significant gaps may require a different treatment approach.
Selecting the Top Invisalign Dentist
Individuals interested in receiving Invisalign treatment should conduct thorough research to find the most suitable Invisalign dentist. It is crucial to find a dentist who is both skilled and trustworthy, as they will have a significant impact on the quality of treatment outcomes. Prospective patients should look into the dentist's education, training, and certifications to ensure they have the necessary experience and expertise.
Furthermore, it can be helpful to read reviews and view before and after photos to see if the results align with their orthodontic goals. During the consultation, individuals should ask relevant questions about the treatment process, expected outcomes, and any concerns they may have. A reputable Invisalign provider will prioritize their patient's oral health and overall well-being. Our team works closely with each patient to create a personalized treatment plan that meets their specific needs and objectives.
Choosing the Best Invisalign Provider
After the aligners are ready, patients will return to our office for a fitting. Invisalign dentists may also attach small buttons to the patient's teeth to help secure the aligners in place. These attachments are temporary and will be removed at the end of treatment.
Throughout the treatment process, patients will have follow-up appointments to check the fit of the aligners and monitor the movement of their teeth. Although adjustments are not needed often with Invisalign, regular check-ups will be scheduled to track progress.
