Invisalign

Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment that utilizes clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth and correct bite issues without traditional braces. Custom-made for each patient using advanced 3D imaging technology, these aligners gradually shift teeth into their desired position over time.

Unlike metal braces, Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible and can be easily removed for eating, brushing, and flossing, providing a more comfortable and convenient orthodontic solution. Invisalign has gained popularity for its effectiveness, discretion, and flexibility, making it a preferred choice for individuals seeking a discreet and convenient way to improve their smile.

WHAT TO EXPECT AT YOUR INVISALIGN APPOINTMENT?

Initial Consultation

During the initial consultation, you will meet with our trained Invisalign provider to discuss your orthodontic concerns and treatment goals. Our dentist will evaluate your dental condition, take digital scans or impressions of your teeth, and discuss whether Invisalign is the right option for you

Custom Treatment Plan

Using advanced 3D imaging technology, our Invisalign provider will create a custom treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and goals. You'll get to see a virtual representation of how your teeth will move throughout the course of treatment and preview the expected final result.

Fabrication of Aligners

Using specialized software, the dentist will map out the desired tooth movements and develop a series of clear aligners tailored to your needs. These aligners are made from a clear, smooth plastic material and are virtually invisible when worn, providing a discreet orthodontic solution.

Wearing the Aligners

Once your Invisalign aligners are ready, you'll receive a set of aligner trays to wear sequentially, typically for 20 to 22 hours per day. You'll switch to a new set of aligners approximately every one to two weeks, as directed by our dentist.

Monitoring Progress and Maintenance

Throughout your treatment journey, you'll have periodic check-up appointments with our dentist to monitor progress and ensure the treatment is proceeding as planned. After completing the series of aligners, you may be provided with retainers to prevent teeth from shifting back to their original positions.

THE BENEFITS OF INVISALIGN ALIGNERS

One of the most compelling benefits of Invisalign in Austin, TX, is its discreet appearance. Unlike traditional metal braces, which can be visually prominent and sometimes considered unattractive, Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible when worn. Made from clear, smooth plastic, they blend in seamlessly with the natural color of the teeth, allowing individuals to undergo orthodontic treatment without drawing unwanted attention to their smile.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT INVISALIGN ALIGNERS

HOW DOES INVISALIGN WORK?

Invisalign works by using a series of custom-made, clear aligners to gradually shift teeth into the desired position. Each set of aligners is worn for about 20 to 22 hours per day and is replaced approximately every one to two weeks as the teeth move.

ARE INVISALIGN ALIGNERS VISIBLE?

Invisalign aligners are made from a clear, smooth plastic material that is virtually invisible when worn. This makes them a discreet orthodontic option, particularly suitable for individuals who prefer a less noticeable treatment.

HOW LONG DOES INVISALIGN TREATMENT TAKE?

The duration of Invisalign treatment varies depending on individual factors, such as the complexity of the case and the desired outcome. On average, treatment with Invisalign can take anywhere from six to 18 months.

IS INVISALIGN TREATMENT PAINFUL?

While some patients may experience temporary discomfort or pressure when transitioning to a new set of aligners, Invisalign treatment is generally considered to be less painful than traditional braces. Any discomfort typically subsides within a few days as the teeth adjust to the new aligners.

CAN I EAT AND DRINK WITH INVISALIGN?

Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are removable, allowing you to eat and drink comfortably without restrictions. However, it's important to remove the aligners before consuming anything other than water to prevent damage or staining.

HOW OFTEN DO I NEED TO WEAR INVISALIGN ALIGNERS?

For optimal results, Invisalign aligners should be worn for 20 to 22 hours per day, only removing them for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. Consistent wear ensures that the teeth are continuously being guided into the desired position.

WILL I NEED TO WEAR RETAINERS AFTER INVISALIGN TREATMENT?

Yes, wearing retainers after completing Invisalign treatment is crucial for maintaining results and preventing the teeth from shifting back to their original position. Your provider will recommend a retainer regimen tailored to your specific needs and may advise wearing them nightly or as directed.
