Imagine a beautifully straight smile without all the restrictions and difficulties of brackets and wires all over your teeth. That’s what makes Invisalign® one of dentistry’s most popular treatment options.
The clear aligners from Invisalign® allow you to straighten your teeth without the obvious appearance of metal braces.
With Invisalign’s removable aligners, you can eat and drink anything you want. Simply remove the aligners and replace them when you’re finished.
The removable nature of Invisalign trays means you can engage in activities that traditional wire braces may restrict.
With Invisalign®, each aligner is custom designed to fit precisely over the teeth while putting gentle pressure on the teeth to move them into place. There are no wires or brackets that may cause bleeding and discomfort.
No special brushing needed. Simply remove the aligners, perform your regular oral hygiene tasks, and put the aligners back in place.
Straightened teeth lead to better lifelong oral health. They are easier to clean and less prone to chipping and decay. Straighter teeth also reduce the likelihood of gingivitis and gum disease.
It’s simple and free to see if Invisalign® will work for you. During your consultation, Dr. Savanna will assess your oral health and analyze whether Invisalign® is the best treatment solution for your specific situation.
The road to your beautifully straight smile begins with a personalized treatment plan. Dr. Savanna will take detailed images and impressions of your teeth to determine your Invisalign® pathway. Your plan will detail the length of treatment, the expected results, and financial arrangements for care. Your timeline will involve many factors, but adults can typically expect a year of treatment, on average.
When your new aligners are ready, we will walk you through the simple process of wearing them. Invisalign® clear aligners are made of BPA-free smooth plastic and are specifically designed for your teeth. You can fully expect them to fit nicely and be comfortable as you wear them for about 20 to 22 hours a day. Remember, they can be removed to eat, drink or engage in activities where removal is helpful.
As each Invisalign® aligner gently moves your teeth into position, you will need to progress to the next aligner about every two weeks. Each aligner is designed to build upon the previous aligner to shift your teeth about 1/10 mm per tray. With each new aligner, you will begin to see your teeth move closer and closer to their final destination. Dr. Savanna will see you at regular intervals throughout your treatment to ensure everything is moving according to schedule.
When your treatment is complete, you’ll be flashing your new confident smile for the world to see. For some patients, a follow-up retainer may be worn for a while to ensure your beautifully straight smile remains aligned.
“I started going to Chesterfield Family Dentistry at the beginning of this year and have had nothing but wonderful experiences with the dental team and family. Everyone is so warm and friendly from the moment I walk through the door, to my very comfortable teeth cleanings and my Invisalign experience has given me the confidence to smile bigger than ever before. If I could give 50 stars on here I would. I’ve never looked forward to my dental appointments until I started going to Chesterfield Family Dentistry. Thank you!!!”
