Invisalign® clear aligners offer a discreet and effective way to achieve a beautifully aligned smile. Avant Garde Dental Arts provides personalized orthodontic care using this innovative system. Our dentist and team work closely with each patient to ensure a comfortable and successful treatment experience.
What Are Invisalign Clear Aligners?
Invisalign clear aligners are custom-made orthodontic trays designed to gradually shift teeth into their proper positions. Made from a smooth, BPA-free plastic, these aligners are nearly invisible, making them a popular choice for both teens and adults seeking a subtle alternative to traditional braces.
Benefits of Invisalign Treatment Include:
- Discreet appearance with clear, virtually invisible trays.
- Comfort due to the smooth, custom-fit material.
- Removability, allowing patients to eat, drink and maintain oral hygiene with ease.
- Effective treatment for a variety of alignment issues, including crowding, gaps and bite irregularities.
The Invisalign Treatment Process
The Invisalign treatment process begins with a comprehensive consultation with our dentist. During this visit, we will evaluate your orthodontic needs and determine if Invisalign aligners are the right solution for you.
- Digital Scanning and Treatment Plan: Using advanced 3D imaging technology, we create a precise digital model of your teeth and design a step-by-step treatment plan.
- Custom Aligners: A series of aligners is fabricated to gradually move your teeth. Each set is worn for about two weeks before progressing to the next set.
- Follow-Up Visits: Periodic appointments with us ensure your treatment is progressing as planned.
Treatment duration varies, but most patients achieve their desired results within 12 to 18 months.
Maintaining Your Aligners and Results
To maximize the effectiveness of Invisalign clear aligners:
- Wear the aligners for at least 20-22 hours per day.
- Clean the trays daily to prevent staining or buildup.
- Follow your treatment plan and attend scheduled appointments.
