What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign clear aligners in Los Gatos are an orthodontic treatment option that involves using a series of translucent trays to align your teeth in stages over time. These clear aligner trays are customized to fit your teeth comfortably and offer a discreet way to straighten your teeth. The trays will apply gentle pressure to your teeth, straightening them efficiently and with fewer trips to the dentist than traditional braces.
Because your aligners are removable, you can conveniently eat and drink without them on. This eliminates the need to modify your diet and avoids the difficulties of performing proper hygiene around traditional braces brackets. Invisalign treatment relies on wearing your aligners for at least 22 hours a day, and the process as a whole usually ranges from 12-18 months.
Is Invisalign a Good Option for Me?
Invisalign clear aligners are a great way to treat misalignments ranging from mild to moderate in severity. If you're experiencing complications arising from misalignments in your bite, or you simply want to improve the aesthetic appeal of your smile, you may be a good candidate for clear aligners. Some of the common situations that Invisalign can help with include:
- Crooked teeth
- Overbite
- Underbite
- Unwanted gaps between teeth
- Crowding
When you receive Invisalign treatment at our practice, you can be sure that our entire team is dedicated to helping you reach your desired cosmetic results. We take the time to speak to you about your options and thoroughly evaluate your oral health to make sure Invisalign is right for you. If we determine your needs are outside of what Invisalign can treat, we may refer you to a specialist who can assist in achieving your orthodontic goals.
Our Invisalign Treatment Process
Our process for beginning Invisalign clear braces is straightforward, relatively hassle-free, and comfort conscious. It can easily be summed up in three stages that usually take place over two appointments:
Initial Consultation & Exam: At your complimentary consultation, we'll discuss your dental health history and overall goals for your smile. We'll then perform a thorough visual oral exam and employ advanced diagnostic equipment like infrared imaging to detect tooth decay without using x-rays. Our goal is to ensure your teeth are healthy enough for treatment and that Invisalign is an effective solution to your bite situation.
Imaging: Once we determine that Invisalign is right for your smile needs, we'll take detailed digital scans of your teeth using our iTero® 5D scanner. This powerful intraoral scanner is ergonomically designed for your comfort and takes exceptionally precise images that serve as the model to create your clear aligner trays.
Tray Placement: We send the impressions we create to a trusted dental lab where your aligner trays are carefully crafted. When the lab sends us your Invisalign trays, you'll return to our practice so we can fit your first tray to make sure it's secure and comfortable. At this time, our team will also offer care instructions and go over the treatment guidelines that help ensure your success.
Once your teeth have been straightened, we also offer an extensive list of cosmetic dental services that can further enhance the aesthetic appeal of your smile. Our dental team is happy to consult with you about how our cosmetic offerings can more effectively showcase your newly straightened teeth.
Caring for Your Invisalign Clear Aligners
Caring for your clear aligner trays is an important part of making sure your treatment is as effective as possible. Some important things to remember include:
- Removing your aligners when eating and drinking anything but water
- Rinsing your aligners with water before putting them back on
- Cleaning your aligners with clear, scent-free antibacterial soap and a soft-bristled toothbrush at least once a day
- Keeping aligners safe by putting them in their case every time you take them off to avoid losing them
Following the simple guidelines from our team will help you avoid any complications in the process. If you lose one of your Invisalign aligners, contact us immediately. We'll generally instruct you to wear the previous tray in the series until we provide you with a new one.
