The Invisalign Process: Everything you need to know

Navigating the world of orthodontics can be daunting, especially when choosing the best treatment option for your smile. One popular choice is Invisalign, a revolutionary and convenient alternative to traditional braces. But what does the Invisalign process entail? Let’s break it down.

Understanding Invisalign

Invisalign is an innovative orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear, custom-made aligners to gradually shift your teeth into their ideal position. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible and can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing. This makes them a popular choice for those who want a more discreet and comfortable orthodontic solution. The Invisalign process is overseen by your dentist or orthodontist, who will monitor your progress and make adjustments as needed.

The Invisalign Process

The Invisalign process begins with a consultation at our Elegant Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics practice. Dr. Parsafar and Dr. Javidi will examine your smile, discuss your orthodontic goals, and determine if Invisalign is the right choice for you. If you're a suitable candidate, we'll take digital images and impressions of your teeth to create your custom aligners. You'll wear each set of aligners for about two weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss.

The Benefits of Invisalign

Invisalign offers numerous benefits over traditional braces. The clear aligners are virtually invisible, allowing you to straighten your smile without anyone noticing. They are also removable, which means you can eat and drink whatever you want without worrying about damaging your braces. Invisalign aligners are also more comfortable than traditional braces, with no metal brackets or wires to irritate your mouth. Moreover, because the treatment plan is fully customized, you can expect efficient and effective results.

Maintaining Your Smile Post-Invisalign

Once you've completed your Invisalign treatment, it's important to maintain your new smile. This typically involves wearing a retainer to prevent your teeth from shifting back to their original position. Dr. Parsafar and Dr. Javidi will provide you with a custom retainer and instructions on how to wear and care for it. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene are also essential for keeping your smile looking its best.
