Understanding Invisalign

Invisalign represents a revolutionary leap in orthodontic technology, providing a clear and comfortable alternative to conventional metal braces. This system employs a series of custom-designed, transparent aligners that work to gradually reposition your teeth.

Each set of aligners is meticulously crafted to fit precisely over your teeth, applying carefully calculated pressure to guide them into optimal alignment. The end result? A beautifully straight smile achieved without the visibility or discomfort often associated with traditional orthodontic treatments.

Our Invisalign Process

Comprehensive Smile Analysis

Your Invisalign experience begins with a thorough examination at WA Dental. We’ll evaluate your dental structure, discuss your smile goals, and determine if Invisalign is the best solution for you. Using cutting-edge digital scanning technology, we’ll create a detailed 3D map of your teeth to form the foundation of your personalized treatment plan.

Digital Smile Design

Harnessing advanced 3D computer imaging, we’ll craft a comprehensive treatment strategy tailored to your unique dental needs. This technology allows us to simulate the gradual movement of your teeth, providing you with a virtual preview of your smile’s evolution at each stage of the process.

Aligner Fabrication and Fitting

Once your custom aligners are ready, you’ll receive your first set along with detailed care instructions. Each set is typically worn for 1-2 weeks before progressing to the next in the series. Regular check-ups at WA Dental ensure your treatment progresses smoothly and your smile evolves as planned.

Refinement and Optimization

As your teeth shift, we may make small adjustments to your treatment plan to ensure optimal results. This might involve additional aligners or slight modifications to your current set, always with the goal of achieving the best possible outcome for your smile.

Retention and Long-Term Care

Upon completing your Invisalign treatment, we’ll provide you with a custom retainer to preserve your new smile. We’ll offer comprehensive guidance on retainer use and care, a crucial step in maintaining the beautiful results you’ve achieved.

FAQs About Invisalign

How long does the Invisalign process take?

The duration of Invisalign treatment varies based on individual needs and the complexity of the case. On average, treatment can range from 6 to 18 months. Factors influencing the timeline include the extent of tooth movement required, your compliance with wearing the aligners, and your body’s response to treatment. During your initial consultation at WA Dental, we’ll provide a more precise estimate tailored to your specific orthodontic needs.

How does Invisalign work?

Invisalign employs a series of clear, custom-made aligners to gradually reposition your teeth. Each set of aligners is worn for approximately 1-2 weeks before progressing to the next in the series. These aligners exert gentle, consistent pressure to incrementally shift your teeth into their desired positions. This process continues, with each new set of aligners building on the progress of the previous one, until your teeth reach their final, planned alignment.

Can Invisalign fix overbite?

Yes, Invisalign can effectively address many cases of overbite. The system can be designed to adjust both your upper and lower teeth, improving the alignment of your bite. For some overbite cases, small attachments may be placed on specific teeth to provide additional leverage for more complex movements. However, severe overbites might require alternative treatments. A thorough evaluation by our team at WA Dental will determine if Invisalign is the right solution for your particular overbite situation.

How to clean Invisalign?

Maintaining clean Invisalign aligners is straightforward and essential for good oral hygiene. Rinse your aligners each time you remove them and gently brush them using a soft toothbrush and clear, antibacterial soap. Avoid hot water as it can warp the plastic. For a more thorough cleaning, you can use Invisalign cleaning crystals or denture cleaner. Always brush and floss your teeth before reinserting your aligners to prevent trapping food particles and bacteria against your teeth.

Is Invisalign cheaper than braces?

The cost of Invisalign treatment is often in the same range as traditional braces. In some instances, Invisalign may be slightly more expensive, but many patients find the benefits justify any potential additional cost. The final price depends on factors such as case complexity and treatment duration. At WA Dental, we offer various financial options to make Invisalign treatment accessible. Remember, investing in your smile can have lasting positive impacts on both your oral health and self-confidence.

Wisdom Tooth Extraction Experience!

I had a fantastic experience with Dr. Chi and Deserae! From the moment I walked in, they were both so friendly and welcoming. They took the time to explain every step of the process in detail, which really helped calm my nerves. The procedure itself was incredibly smooth, fast, and completely painless. I really appreciated how both Dr. Chi and Deserae were great at having a calming conversation to keep me relaxed throughout. They also made sure I understood the aftercare process and what to expect in the days following. Highly recommend them for their professionalism and warm, caring approach!
