What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign by Align Technology is a cutting-edge orthodontic solution that uses a series of clear, custom aligners to gently shift your teeth into their ideal alignment over time. The aligner trays are created from a patented thermoplastic material known as SmartTrack that's engineered to move your teeth into position with exceptional precision and comfort. The clear alternative to metal braces offers a discreet, comfortable, and convenient solution to transform your smile.
With advanced digital technology and precise protocols, Dr. Norton goes beyond straightening teeth to ensure optimal results. By incorporating gum contouring, occlusal equilibration, and other cosmetic enhancements, our orthodontic patients finish treatment with smiles that we would only describe as natural, polished perfection.
Invisalign offers an excellent solution for teens and adults wanting to align their smiles without dealing with traditional braces. It is ideal for a range of mild to complex orthodontic concerns, such as overcrowded, misaligned, or gapped teeth and various bite irregularities like overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites. Ideal candidates must be willing to wear their aligner trays for 20-22 hours each day to ensure successful treatment.
The Invisalign process is designed to be simple, efficient, and comfortable. We will start by evaluating your smile's unique needs and taking digital scans of your teeth. Dr. Norton will also take photographs to fully evaluate every angle of your smile. Dr. Norton will create a custom treatment plan that outlines the anticipated movement of your teeth and the expected length of treatment. You'll even get to preview your new smile.
You'll need to wear your clear aligners for 20-22 hours a day, taking them out only for brushing, flossing, and eating or drinking anything but water. We may place small, tooth-colored attachments on certain teeth to help guide movement more effectively.
You'll swap your virtually invisible aligners for the next in the set every week, gradually shifting your teeth into alignment. You will need to schedule periodic visits to ensure your teeth are progressing as planned and make adjustments as needed.
Once your treatment concludes, you will need to protect your investment in your smile by wearing custom retainers. This will prevent your teeth from gradually moving back to their original positions, maintaining your stunning treatment results.
Invisalign offers numerous oral health and aesthetic benefits, including the following:
- Your aligners are virtually invisible, providing a discreet solution to align your smile.
- Invisalign is ideal for a wide range of orthodontic concerns with exceptional precision.
- The aligners are made from a smooth and comfortable material that has no sharp edges, unlike metal brackets and wires.
- Your aligner trays are removable, allowing you to brush and floss effectively and enjoy your favorite foods without restriction (yes, even popcorn).
- Invisalign's proprietary SmartTrack material and SmartForce features shift your teeth into alignment with precision.
- We offer Invisalign's Professional Whitening System by Opalescence to brighten your smile as you undergo orthodontic treatment.
- Having straight teeth helps lower your risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and uneven tooth wear—remember, straight teeth are clean teeth.
- Invisalign's results speak for themselves, delivering stunning smile transformations.
Enhancing Your Invisalign Results
Invisalign is just the beginning! For those looking to achieve a complete smile transformation, we offer additional treatments to refine your results and deliver the most polished, natural look. These include gum recontouring to adjust your gum line for a more balanced, even appearance and smoothing rough teeth edges for a more refined appearance. We are also happy to make final restorative touches to deliver the smile of your dreams. This means some patients might need fillings or veneers at the end to truly achieve their dream smile. These small finishing touches can turn a great smile into a stunning, show-stopping smile.
