Straighten Your Smile with Invisalign®

Invisalign® is a popular, discreet alternative to traditional metal braces. Using a series of clear, removable aligners, it gradually straightens teeth without metal brackets or wires. Each aligner is custom-fitted for comfort and effectiveness.

When worn as directed, Invisalign® may deliver results up to 50% faster than other orthodontic treatments, giving you a straighter smile with less hassle and more convenience.

Invisalign® for Adults & Teens

Invisalign® is an excellent orthodontic solution for both adults and teens, offering a discreet, comfortable, and removable alternative to traditional braces. Whether you have mild to complex alignment issues or just want a straighter smile, Invisalign® provides an effective treatment option tailored to your needs.

What Invisalign® Can Treat:

  • Open bite – When the upper and lower teeth don’t meet properly when biting down
  • Crowded teeth – Teeth overlapping due to lack of space in the jaw
  • Gap teeth – Extra spacing between teeth that can lead to gum issues
  • Crossbite – When some upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth instead of outside
  • Underbite – When the lower teeth extend beyond the upper front teeth
  • Overbite – When the upper front teeth excessively overlap the lower front teeth

 

Why Choose Invisalign®?

Unlike metal braces, Invisalign® aligners are clear, removable, and custom-fitted to your teeth, making them a comfortable and nearly invisible option for straightening your smile. They allow for easier eating, brushing, and flossing, helping maintain better oral hygiene throughout treatment.

Invisalign® is also ideal for those who want aesthetic improvements without the hassle of brackets and wires. With regular wear, Invisalign® can deliver noticeable results quickly, often up to 50% faster than traditional orthodontic methods.

How long does Invisalign® treatment take?

Invisalign® treatment time varies based on the complexity of your alignment needs and how closely you follow your treatment plan. For optimal results, aligners should be worn 20-22 hours per day, only removing them for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing.

On average, Invisalign® treatment takes 12 to 18 months, though many patients begin to see noticeable improvements in just a few weeks.

Sticking to Your Plan for Best Results

Your orthodontist designs your treatment based on your unique teeth alignment, straightening goals, and physiological factors. Following their guidance is essential for ideal and long-lasting results. The more consistently you wear your aligners, the more effective and efficient your treatment will be.

The Invisalign® Process at Dental Depot in Arlington

Almost all Invisalign® treatment plans follow the same three-step process to gradually and effectively straighten your teeth.

1. Initial Consultation & 3-D Scan

Your Invisalign® journey begins with a consultation and 3-D scan of your teeth. Using advanced imaging, your orthodontist will map out a custom treatment plan, showing how your teeth will move over time. Once your plan is finalized, your first set of custom aligners will be ordered.

2. Aligner Fitting & Progress Checks

When your first set of aligners arrives, your orthodontist will ensure they fit properly and provide guidance on wearing and changing them. You’ll have checkup visits every 4-8 weeks to monitor progress and receive your next set of aligners. Each new set will gradually shift your teeth into position, moving you closer to your perfect smile.

3. Retainer for Long-Term Results

After treatment, a retainer is often recommended to maintain your new smile. Retainers can be removable or permanent—a thin archwire bonded behind the teeth to prevent future shifting.

Invisalign treatment is much more than a pretty smile. Crowded teeth are more difficult to clean, causing build-up of plaque that causes gingivitis and may lead to bone loss and periodontal disease. Invisalign clear aligners align teeth, improve periodontal hygiene, and are non-evasive, resulting in easier teeth cleaning.
