Invisalign
A Clear Path to a Straighter Smile
Invisalign is an innovative teeth-straightening solution that uses a series of clear, custom-made aligners to gradually move your teeth into the desired position. Whether you have crowded teeth, gaps, or misalignment, Invisalign offers a discreet, comfortable, and effective alternative to traditional braces.
How Does Invisalign Work?
Invisalign treatment starts with a thorough consultation at Prescott Street Dental Practice. Our experienced dentists will evaluate your teeth and discuss your goals to determine if Invisalign is the right solution for you. We will then take digital impressions of your teeth, which are used to create a 3D model of your smile. This model is used to plan the series of aligners that will gradually move your teeth into place.
Once your aligners are ready, you’ll begin wearing them as directed, changing to a new set every two weeks. Each aligner is designed to move your teeth a little closer to their ideal position. Throughout the treatment, we will monitor your progress and ensure your aligners are fitting correctly. Treatment time varies based on the severity of your misalignment but typically lasts anywhere from 6 to 18 months
Benefits of Invisalign
Invisalign offers many benefits compared to traditional braces. Some of the key advantages include:
•Discreet Treatment: Invisalign aligners are clear, meaning they are almost invisible to others. This makes them an excellent option for those who want to straighten their teeth without drawing attention to their orthodontic treatment.
•Comfortable: The smooth plastic material of the aligners is gentle on your gums and cheeks, reducing the discomfort and irritation often caused by metal brackets and wires.
•Removable: Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are removable, which means you can take them out to eat, drink, brush, and floss, making it easier to maintain good oral hygiene throughout treatment.
•Customizable: Each set of Invisalign aligners is custom-made to fit your unique dental needs, ensuring a precise fit and optimal results.
•Fewer Visits: Invisalign requires fewer visits to your dentist since there are no adjustments or wires to tighten. You will only need to visit us for regular check-ups and to receive your next set of aligners.
