Invisalign Treatment

Invisalign is a desirable alternative to traditional metal braces for straightening teeth. When you choose to use Invisalign, a series of progressive aligners are designed to shape your smile. These smooth and comfortable aligners place a small amount of tension on your teeth, gradually pulling them into the desired position over time. Each aligner in a series gradually progresses to your ideal smile and tooth position.

The first step in straightening your teeth is a consultation with Dr. Azita Vakili. At this visit, our office will perform an examination and take dental x-rays to assess the current health and alignment of your teeth. Dr. Azita Vakili will then determine if you are a good candidate for Invisalign and the expected results of this treatment. If Dr. Azita Vakili determines you are a suitable candidate for Invisalign, he will write a prescription which is sent to Align Technology, Inc. Clear aligners will then be individually crafted to mold and move your teeth. Once your aligners are created, our office will confirm they fit your mouth correctly and comfortably and go over a simple treatment process to achieve the desired results.

Invisalign is best used to treat mild to moderate alignment issues. If your teeth are severely misaligned, if you have one tooth that significantly overlaps another, or if you have serious occlusion problems, you may need metal braces or different cosmetic dentistry procedures to aid in correction. Dr. Azita Vakili can help you address any dental concerns that may prevent you from benefiting from Invisalign and assist you in developing an alternative aesthetic dentistry plan to achieve your desired smile.

Metal braces require a lot of maintenance and cleaning. Flossing and cleaning in between brackets is very important and tedious. There is also the constant fear of food being stuck in your braces while out in public. Invisalign is quick to remove which makes eating, brushing, and flossing less of a burden. You can place your aligners back in your mouth once you are finished eating or brushing. These aligners reduce the risk of having food trapped behind wires and brackets which allows for a healthier smile.

Invisalign is an excellent investment for those seeking a straighter, healthier smile without the inconvenience of traditional braces. Its nearly invisible design provides a discreet orthodontic solution, making it ideal for professionals and individuals who value aesthetics. Beyond improving appearance, Invisalign can enhance oral health by correcting misalignments that lead to tooth decay, gum disease, and jaw issues. While the upfront cost may seem significant, the long-term benefits of improved dental health and confidence make it a worthwhile choice for many.

Invisalign offers a modern, comfortable, and discreet way to straighten your teeth, transforming your smile and boosting your confidence. Whether you’re dealing with gaps, misalignments, or bite issues, Invisalign can provide a tailored solution that fits seamlessly into your lifestyle.
