What is Invisalign?
This is a state-of-the-art approach to orthodontic treatment that uses clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible and can be removed while eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. They are made of a smooth, comfortable, and flexible plastic material that fits snugly over your teeth.
How does Invisalign work?
The Invisalign treatment process starts with a consultation with Dr. Nguyen. She will be able to evaluate your situation and determine if Invisalign is the right treatment for you.
If so, she will take digital impressions of your teeth using our high-tech scanner. These impressions will be used to create a 3D image of your teeth, which will allow Dr. Nguyen to develop a personalized treatment plan for your specific needs.
Once the treatment plan has been established from the scans, a series of custom-made aligners will be created specifically for your issues. Then you simply wear each set of aligners for approximately two weeks before switching to the next set. Each set of aligners will gently and gradually shift your teeth into the desired position. The length of the treatment will depend on the complexity of your case, but most treatments take around 12 to 18 months.
