The Benefits of Invisalign
Invisalign is an increasingly popular orthodontic solution for teens and adults. Patients who choose Invisalign can expect to experience:
- Fewer office visits: In many cases, aligners can accelerate your treatment timeline by up to 50 percent. This means less time spent in the dentist's chair and more time to enjoy your newly enhanced smile.
- Greater comfort: Invisalign's SmartTrack® plastic material is more comfortable than brackets and wires and will not irritate sensitive tissue inside your mouth.
- Discretion: The aligner trays are virtually invisible, so you can smile with confidence throughout your treatment.
- Ease of use: You can remove your aligners to brush and floss your teeth. As a result, you do not have to alter your daily oral hygiene routine.
- No dietary limitations: You can still enjoy chewy foods, hard foods, crunchy foods, and sticky foods during treatment. Simply remove your trays before eating.
Invisalign can also provide peace of mind for those who are involved in sports or other physical activities. Active patients can focus on the game instead of worrying about the risk of damage to their cheeks or lips due to metal brackets.
Is Invisalign Right for Me?
Invisalign can address several alignment issues, including:
- Overbites
- Underbites
- Cross bites
- Gaps between teeth
- Overly crowded teeth
- Rotated teeth
Working alongside a trusted surgeon, Dr. Spokane can also treat more complex cases that require jaw surgery in conjunction with orthodontia.
The Treatment Process
Using the iTero scanning system, we can provide you with a digital preview of your expected results.
During your first visit, we will carefully assess your teeth to determine whether you qualify for Invisalign. If you are a candidate for treatment, we can often begin the process on the same day as your consultation. Using the advanced iTero® digital scanning system, we can create 3-D images of your smile, which will be used to carefully plan your treatment and craft your custom trays. Dr. Spokane will also take note of the unique dimensions of your smile to ensure each tray is executed precisely. We can then provide you with a digital representation of your expected results, so you feel confident in your decision to undergo treatment.
Once your aligners are ready, you should be sure to wear them for 20 to 22 hours each day. Every two weeks or so, you will graduate to your next set of aligners. You can expect to visit our office every six weeks, so we can monitor your progress.
