Invisalign®

At Woodmere Cosmetic and Family Dentistry, we understand that achieving a straight smile is important, but we also know that you want a treatment that's comfortable, discreet, and effective. That's why we offer Invisalign® as part of our orthodontics services. Invisalign is a revolutionary way to straighten your teeth without the discomfort of traditional metal braces.

Whether you’re dealing with crowding, spacing, or bite issues, Invisalign in Woodmere Cosmetic and Family Dentistry can help you transform your smile and keep your confidence intact throughout the process.

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that uses clear, removable aligners to straighten your teeth gradually. Unlike traditional braces, which use metal brackets and wires, Invisalign aligners are custom-made to fit your teeth and are virtually invisible when worn.

Over the course of your treatment, you'll wear a series of aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day, gradually shifting your teeth into their ideal positions.

Is Invisalign as Effective as Traditional Braces?

Yes! Invisalign is just as effective as traditional braces for many types of orthodontic issues. While there are some cases where traditional braces may be a better option, especially for complex alignment problems, Invisalign can effectively treat a wide range of dental concerns.

It offers a more comfortable and discreet option for many patients, particularly those with mild to moderate dental alignment issues.

What Issues Can Invisalign Fix?

Invisalign is a versatile treatment option that can correct many dental issues, including:

• Crowded teeth
• Spacing issues
• Overbite
• Underbite
• Crossbite
• Open bite

Benefits of Invisalign

Discreet Appearance

Invisalign aligners are made from clear plastic, making them almost invisible. They blend in with your teeth, so people may not even notice you're wearing them.

Comfortable Treatment

Invisalign aligners are smooth and custom-fitted to your teeth, meaning they are much more comfortable than traditional braces with metal brackets and wires. There are no sharp edges to irritate the inside of your mouth.

Removable Aligners

One of the biggest benefits of Invisalign is that the aligners are removable. You can take them out to eat, drink, brush, and floss, making it easier to maintain good oral hygiene.

Fewer Orthodontic Visits

While traditional braces may require more frequent adjustments, Invisalign typically requires fewer visits to the orthodontist. You'll receive several sets of aligners at once and only need to visit your orthodontist every 6-8 weeks to track your progress.

Predictable Results

Invisalign uses advanced 3D imaging technology to create a treatment plan that shows exactly how your teeth will move over time. This allows you to visualize your results before even starting treatment.

How Long Does Invisalign Treatment Take?

The length of Invisalign treatment depends on the complexity of your case and how consistently you wear your aligners. On average, Invisalign treatment takes between 12 and 18 months, though some people may see results in as little as 6 months.

Your orthodontist will create a personalized treatment plan and timeline to suit your needs.

How to Care for Invisalign Aligners

Proper care of your Invisalign aligners is important to keep them clean and effective. Here are some tips to maintain your aligners:

• Use lukewarm water and a toothbrush (not toothpaste) to gently clean your aligners.
• Hot water can warp the aligners, so always use lukewarm or cool water.
• Brush your teeth before reinserting the aligners to prevent bacteria buildup and ensure they stay fresh.
• Always keep your aligners in their case when you’re not wearing them to prevent loss or damage.
• Only drink water with your aligners in to avoid staining or damaging them.
