Invisalign

Invisalign

Invisalign is a revolutionary orthodontic treatment that straightens teeth without metal braces. Instead, it uses a series of clear, invisible aligners. The aligners can be removed to eat, drink, brush, and floss. At Waterman Boulevard Family Dentistry, we recommend Invisalign treatment to teens and adults who want straighter teeth but don’t want to deal with the hassle of traditional braces.

Invisalign uses 3D computer imaging technology to create custom aligners that fit perfectly and efficiently move the teeth into their desired positions. Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks and then replaced with the next one in the series until the teeth reach their final positions.

The Benefits of Invisalign

Invisalign is a popular orthodontic treatment that offers numerous benefits for individuals seeking to straighten their teeth. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners that are virtually invisible when worn, providing a more discreet and aesthetically pleasing option. These comfortable aligners can be easily removed for eating, brushing, and flossing, allowing for better oral hygiene throughout the treatment process.

Invisalign aligners in Fairfield, CA, are custom-made for each patient, ensuring a precise and comfortable fit. The treatment also typically requires fewer visits to the dentist compared to traditional braces, offering greater convenience for individuals with busy lifestyles.

Furthermore, Invisalign technology enables patients to visualize their treatment progress and the final result before they even begin, providing motivation and excitement for the process. Overall, Invisalign offers a convenient, comfortable, and visually appealing way to achieve a straighter smile without the challenges associated with traditional braces.

Who Is a Suitable Candidate for Invisalign?

Invisalign is a versatile orthodontic treatment suitable for a wide range of candidates. It is ideal for individuals with mild to moderate dental misalignments, including issues like overcrowded teeth, gaps between teeth, overbites, underbites, and crossbites.

Invisalign aligners are custom-made for each patient, ensuring a precise fit and making them particularly suitable for those looking for a personalized and comfortable orthodontic solution.

Additionally, Invisalign is popular among adults and teenagers who prefer a more discreet and convenient option than traditional braces. The treatment is often well-suited for patients with busy lifestyles or professions where the appearance of traditional braces might be a concern. However, for the success of the treatment, it's essential for candidates to be committed to wearing the aligners for the recommended 20 to 22 hours per day and to follow the dentist's instructions diligently.

While Invisalign can address various orthodontic issues, the final decision about a candidate's suitability is made by our experienced dentist in Fairfield, CA, after a thorough evaluation of the patient's specific dental needs and alignment issues. They can determine if Invisalign is the right choice or if an alternative orthodontic treatment would be more effective.
