The Invisalign Treatment Process
The Invisalign system is an easy and convenient way to correct dental misalignments and minor to moderate bite issues. With innovative align technology, Invisalign can give you the smile you’ve always wanted. Here’s what you can expect when you work with our North Las Vegas cosmetic dentistry team.
Initial Consultation
During an initial consultation with your dentist in North Las Vegas, we’ll assess your dental health and type of malocclusion to see if Invisalign is the right option for your needs.
Digital Scan of Your Smile
If you are a good candidate for Invisalign treatment, we’ll perform a full digital scan of your mouth in our office. Using this accurate 3D scan, we will map out your treatment and show you your expected results.
Customized Set of Aligners
Using your scans, you’re given a personalized set of aligners to take home with you. We’ll make sure the first aligner tray fits correctly and comfortably and let you know when you return for your next batch.
Switching Out Aligner Trays
Your orthodontist will give you specific instructions on how long to wear each tray and when to switch to the next one. Each aligner progressively shifts your teeth a little more until you reach the desired results.
Maintaining Your Smile
After treatment is complete, you will wear a custom-made retainer at night to maintain your results and keep your teeth straight.
What Are the Benefits of Invisalign Clear Aligners?
Millions of people have chosen the Invisalign system to straighten their teeth because of the many benefits it offers. Here are the top advantages of Invisalign clear aligners.
Invisible Orthodontic Treatment
The biggest perk of Invisalign treatment is that you don’t have to deal with embarrassing brackets and wires. The clear plastic aligners are virtually invisible, providing a highly discreet option that doesn’t hurt your confidence.
No Installation Required
Unlike ceramic or metal braces, Invisalign doesn’t require any installation in the mouth. The plastic trays simply slide over the teeth and stay in place while you’re wearing them.
Less Irritation
Because Invisalign aligners are not very bulky, there is less risk of irritation to the gums, tongue, and inside of your cheeks. Patients with traditional braces often experience some irritation from the brackets, wires, and bands.
No Dietary Restrictions
Clear aligners are removed before eating, allowing patients to eat and drink without restrictions. During orthodontic treatment, you can continue to eat your favorite foods without compromising.
Easy Oral Hygiene Routine
Metal braces can be difficult to keep clean because there are more places for bacteria to hide. With Invisalign, you can continue your regular oral hygiene routine without special tools or techniques. Also, your dentist will provide simple instructions on how to clean your aligners daily.
Improved Self-Esteem
The results of Invisalign can boost your confidence. Studies have shown that people who underwent orthodontic treatment had a higher self-esteem than those who were unhappy with their smiles.
