There are many patients who want straight teeth but do not want metal brackets and wires because of their appearance or because of the eating limitations that come with traditional braces. However, we have good news! Many of our patients are candidates for Invisalign® clear aligners which we offer in our office.

What are clear orthodontic aligners?
Invisalign® has become the known name brand for orthodontic clear aligners much like Ruffles and Lays are for potato chips. By using scans of your teeth, a series of personalized aligners are made. The aligners, or trays, are created with a plan that gradually move your teeth to their desired locations over time. Our highly trained orthodontist will create a treatment plan for you that includes how long to wear each aligner before changing to the next one. Changing your trays is similar to getting the wires tightened on traditional braces as the new set guides your teeth closer to the ideal spot. It is recommended that patients wear their aligners at all times except when eating or drinking dark liquids.

Get the Most from Invisalign®

It is important to wear your trays for 20-22 hours a day to get the best results. Try to get into the habit of only taking your aligners out to eat, brush and floss. Your teeth will gradually move as you continue to wear and change your trays. Because you don’t have to come in to have the wires tightened on braces, you don’t have to come into the office as often. Fewer office visits are another big perk of Invisalign® – especially for patients with busy schedules to navigate.

Am I a Good Candidate for Invisalign®? 

Do you prefer a more esthetic option? Do you prefer the flexibility of eating foods you may need to avoid with braces? Can you commit to wearing our aligners when not eating? If you answered yes to the above, let us speak with you about how we can improve your smile with Invisalign. At your initial consultation, Dr. Sionit or Dr. Taylor will evaluate your unique orthodontic needs and will be able to tell you if you are an Invisalign® candidate.

Choosing to begin orthodontic treatment with Invisalign® clear aligners at our office comes with the promise of personalized treatment. Our orthodontist will spend time customizing your treatment plan specifically for you! We do not use AI automation or another provider who does not know you personally. We review the results from your clinical exam, x-rays, bone health, gum support, dental history (yes, we communicate with your dentist), facial profile, smile esthetics, and most importantly your personal goals and desires for what you want from your treatment to create your unique plan. Our team will always be ready to help you with any questions or concerns during your treatment.
