Invisalign Orthodontic Treatment - Clear Braces

Are you interested in orthodontic treatment but hesitant to commit to traditional braces? Do you frequently worry about the appearance of your teeth but dread the discomfort and unsightliness of metal brackets and wires?

Straight teeth are beautiful, but not everyone is blessed with a naturally straight smile. If you're one of the many people who have crooked, crowded, or misaligned teeth, you might be wondering what your options are for achieving a straighter smile.

Look no further than Invisalign! One option that's become increasingly popular in recent years is Invisalign treatment. Invisalign is a form of orthodontic treatment that uses clear aligners to gently shift your teeth into their desired position. These aligners are custom-made for your unique mouth and are virtually invisible, meaning you can straighten your teeth without anyone even knowing.

Here at Capstone Dental, we're proud to offer Invisalign treatment to our patients. We believe that everyone deserves to feel confident and happy with their smile, and Invisalign is an excellent option for achieving that.

What is Invisalign? Invisalign is a type of clear aligner that can straighten teeth and correct various orthodontic issues. The treatment involves a series of custom-fitted, removable trays that are worn on the teeth for a designated period of time to gently shift them into the desired position. Invisalign aligners are made from a specialized material called SmartTrack® that is comfortable and virtually invisible. As a result, the treatment does not require noticeable metal wires or brackets and does not impact the overall appearance of the patient's smile.

Invisalign has become a popular orthodontic treatment for adults and children alike as it offers a discreet solution to addressing misaligned teeth, overcrowding, gaps, and other common dental issues. And as the aligners can be removed, Invisalign enables patients to maintain proper dental hygiene throughout the course of their treatment. Moreover, patients can experience a more convenient treatment and reduced discomfort compared to traditional braces.

At Capstone Dental, we are committed to providing our patients with the latest advancements in dental care, including Invisalign treatment. By investing in the latest technology and partnering with Invisalign, we can offer our patients a comfortable, cost-effective, and minimally invasive treatment option for achieving beautiful, long-lasting results. Our clinic's team is dedicated to educating our patients about Invisalign and ensuring that each patient receives a treatment plan tailored to their unique needs.

What to expect during your Invisalign treatment?

At your initial appointment, our team will conduct a comprehensive dental exam to assess your oral health and determine the suitability of Invisalign for your specific condition. If you are deemed an ideal candidate for the treatment, our team will take photos, x-rays and digital impressions of your teeth using our state of the art digital scanner. These impressions are then used to create 3D models of your teeth and jaw, which will help us to develop a personalized treatment plan for your teeth.

Once your treatment plan is developed, we will provide you with your first set of aligners, designed to be worn for two weeks each. We will also periodically check your progress and fit you with new aligners as needed so that we can gradually shift your teeth into the desired position.

It is important that you wear your Invisalign aligners for at least 20-22 hours a day and remove them only when necessary, such as when eating or brushing your teeth. Invisalign can be suited for patients of all ages, young and old.

Advantages of choosing Invisalign Invisalign treatment offers a myriad of advantages over traditional orthodontic treatments, including:

  1. Discreet appearance – Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible and do not require the use of visible wires or brackets.

  2. Improved oral hygiene – As the aligners are removable, patients can maintain their daily oral hygiene routine, reducing the risk of gum inflammation and tooth decay.

  3. More comfortable to wear – Invisalign aligners are made from a non-abrasive, smooth material ensuring maximum comfort during wear.

  4. Shorter treatment times – You may experience faster results with Invisalign when compared to traditional braces.

  5. Customized treatment options – Invisalign aligners are custom-designed and fitted for each patient, providing an individualized, effective treatment.

Invisalign cost and insurance coverage

The cost of Invisalign treatment varies depending on the individual needs of each patient. Factors that may impact the cost include the length of treatment, severity of the case and the use of attachments or additional appliances.

Many health insurance companies cover Invisalign treatments as they are considered to be an effective orthodontic solution but it is important to check with your health insurance provider to confirm your plan and membership provides coverage for the treatment.

How does Invisalign work? Let's take a closer look at the process.

Step 1: Consultation and Evaluation

The first step in the Invisalign process is to schedule a consultation with our team. During this appointment, we'll take photos, xrays and digital scans of your teeth. We will evaluate your teeth and your bite to determine if Invisalign is the right choice for you.

Invisalign can be used to treat a variety of orthodontic issues, including:

  • Crowded teeth

  • Gaps between teeth

  • Overbite

  • Underbite

  • Crossbite

    If we determine that Invisalign is a good fit for you, we'll take digital impressions of your teeth using a specialized scanner. These impressions will be used to create your custom aligners.

Step 2: Creating Your Treatment Plan

Once we have your digital impressions, we'll use specialized software to create a 3D image of your teeth. This image will be used to map out your treatment plan, including the movements your teeth will make and the duration of your treatment.

We'll also use this 3D image to create a series of custom aligners that will gradually shift your teeth into their desired position. You'll wear each set of aligners for about two weeks before switching to the next set in the series.

Step 3: Wearing Your Aligners

Once your custom aligners are ready, we'll give them to you along with detailed instructions on how to wear and care for them. You'll wear your aligners for 20-22 hours per day, removing them only to eat, brush, and floss.

One of the great things about Invisalign is that the aligners are removable, so you can eat what you want and don't have to worry about food getting stuck in your braces. However, it's important to brush and floss after every meal before putting your aligners back in to prevent bacteria buildup.

Step 4: Check-Ups and Adjustments

Throughout your Invisalign treatment, we'll schedule periodic check-ups to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments. We may also give you new sets of aligners at these appointments.

It's important to wear your aligners as directed to ensure the best possible results. If you don't wear your aligners consistently, your treatment time may be longer than anticipated.

Step 5: Finishing Your Treatment

Once you've completed your series of aligners, you'll move on to the retention phase of your treatment. During this phase, you'll wear a retainer to help maintain your new smile.

Retainers can be either fixed or removable, depending on your final bite and needs. We'll work with you to determine the best type of retainer for your unique situation.

Benefits of Invisalign

Now that you know how Invisalign works, let's take a closer look at some of the benefits of this treatment option.

Virtually Invisible

One of the biggest advantages of Invisalign is that the aligners are virtually invisible. This means you can straighten your teeth without anyone even knowing. This is especially appealing to adults who may feel self-conscious about wearing traditional metal braces.

Comfortable

Invisalign aligners are made from a smooth, comfortable plastic that won't irritate your mouth like metal brackets and wires can. This makes Invisalign a more comfortable option for many patients.

Removable

Because Invisalign aligners are removable, you don't have to worry about food getting stuck in your braces or dealing with the hassle of cleaning around them. This also makes it easier to brush and floss your teeth, which is important for maintaining good oral hygiene.

Efficient Treatment Time

Due to the advanced technology, sometimes Invisalign treatment can be completed in as little as six months to a year. It will depend from case to case and the complexity of the treatment

Customized Treatment

Invisalign treatment is customized for each patient's unique needs and goals. This means that your treatment plan will be tailored specifically to you, ensuring the best possible results.
