Invisalign 101: Everything You Need to Know

If you are in search of a discreet and convenient alternative to traditional braces, your search stops here. At Avalon Dental Care, we offer Invisalign, today’s leading clear aligner system that’s transformed millions of smiles worldwide. The virtually invisible orthodontics solution will deliver the straight smile you’ve always wanted without anyone having to know!

Introducing Invisalign by Align Technology

Invisalign is an innovative orthodontic treatment that involves the use of virtually invisible aligners to put pressure on your teeth, guiding them into alignment. Your custom aligners are made from SmartTrack, a thermoplastic material that provides unmatched comfort while moving your teeth into position with incredible precision.

What Is the Invisalign Process?

Our team at Avalon Dental Care starts by creating 3D models of your teeth using digital scans of your mouth. State-of-the-art computer imaging technology assists in creating a custom treatment plan outlining every subtle movement of your teeth and the expected length of your treatment. The best part is that you get to see a preview of your new straight smile, so you know what to expect.

Once your aligners are ready, you’ll be on your way to the straight smile of your dreams. Make sure to wear your aligners 20-22 hours a day, taking them out only to eat, drink anything other than water, and brush or floss your teeth. You’ll swap your aligner set for the next one in the series every 1-2 weeks, depending on your specific treatment plan.

As the treatment progresses, you’ll be amazed to see how your teeth gradually move into alignment. But remember – after achieving the desired results, it’s important to wear custom retainers to prevent your teeth from moving back to their original position.

Is Invisalign Right for You?

Candidates for Invisalign are those wanting a discreet, comfortable, and convenient alternative to braces. The best-in-line clear aligner system can correct a range of mild to complex cases, including crooked, gapped, and crowded teeth and problems with the bite, like overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites. Our experienced provider will evaluate your unique needs and help you determine if Invisalign is right for you.

What Are the Benefits of Invisalign?

Invisalign offers numerous benefits, including the following:

• Discreet: Invisalign’s aligners are virtually unnoticeable, allowing you to align your teeth without interfering with your smile.
• Comfortable: The smooth and comfortable aligners are custom-made for the best fit and comfort and do not contain sharp edges or wires like braces.
• Convenient: You can remove your aligner trays to brush or floss as usual, enjoy all your favorite foods, or go to important events.

• Predictable: Invisalign’s SmartTrack material and SmartForce features apply just the right amount of force, shifting your teeth into place with incredible precision.
