Hi, I’m Tom and welcome to Invisalign with Toothpaste Family Dentistry.
Invisalign represents the latest development in orthodontics, offering an alternative to traditional braces by using clear aligners to move teeth. Unlike fixed braces, Invisalign aligners are removable, requiring your commitment to wear them for the recommended 22 hours daily.
The Benefits of Invisalign
Invisalign aligners boast several advantages, including ease of cleaning, less discomfort, and minimal visibility. They are capable of addressing a broad range of orthodontic issues, from simple tooth rotations to more complex bite and crowding problems.
Beginning Your Invisalign Journey
Your journey starts with a consultation at our practice, where we’ll conduct a laser scan and take photos of your teeth. This information helps us craft a 3D model to plan your treatment, ensuring your goals and expectations align with the potential outcomes.
Treatment Planning and Approval
After reviewing the treatment plan, you’ll have the opportunity to request adjustments, ensuring you’re fully satisfied before proceeding. Once you approve the plan, we’ll manufacture your custom aligners, a process that typically takes about two weeks.
Starting Your Treatment
Initiating your Invisalign treatment involves attaching small, tooth-colored grips to your teeth, aiding the aligners in effectively moving your teeth. These attachments might feel rough initially but will become smoother over time.
Regular Check-ins and Adjustments
During your treatment, you’ll visit our practice every six to twelve weeks to monitor progress. If necessary, we can make refinements to your treatment, ensuring your teeth move as intended.
Completing Your Treatment
Upon completing your Invisalign journey, we’ll implement retention strategies to maintain your teeth’s new positions. This may involve bonding a wire behind your teeth or providing night-time retainers.
