Invisalign

Are you seeking a more subtle way to straighten your teeth than the traditional metal braces? You’ve come to the right place! Invisalign is the way to go! Invisalign is a groundbreaking teeth-straightening treatment that has recently exploded in popularity.

If you want to straighten your teeth discreetly, look no further! Give our office a call today to schedule your Invisalign consultation!

What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a revolutionary orthodontic procedure that uses a set of transparent, removable aligners to gently shift your teeth into the ideal position. Unlike conventional braces made of metal brackets and wires, Invisalign aligners are practically undetectable.

Invisalign aligners are made of medical-grade, thermoplastic polymers that are safe and effective at straightening teeth.

This characteristic makes them an appealing option if you want to improve your smile but do it discreetly.

What Dental Issues Can Invisalign Treat?

Whether you have crooked teeth, crowded teeth, gaps, or even specific bite problems, Invisalign can be an effective solution. Here are some dental issues that Invisalign can help treat:

Crowded Teeth: Invisalign can effectively treat moderate and severely overcrowded teeth.
Teeth Gaps: Invisalign may reduce minor to moderate tooth gaps, giving you a more uniform smile.
Overbite or Underbite: By gently relocating your teeth and straightening your jaw, Invisalign can help address bite abnormalities.
Crossbite: Invisalign can help treat crossbite, a condition in which some upper teeth rest within the lower teeth rather than outside.

Invisalign Treatment Process

At Torrey Dental, we are eager to get you smiling confidently! As you go through the Invisalign treatment process, our dental team will be with you every step of the way along your Invisalign journey.

Initial Consultation: At your first consultation, you will meet with Dr. Marcus Torrey and his dental team to evaluate your dental condition and determine whether Invisalign is the best option for you.
X-Rays and Pictures: To establish a personalized treatment plan, Dr. Torrey will take X-rays and pictures of your teeth. This will allow him to assess your dental structure.
Preliminary Work: In some circumstances, Dr. Torrey will need to do some dental work before the teeth can be fitted for the clear aligners. These tasks might include extracting troublesome teeth or filling cavities.
First Fitting: After your impressions have been taken and the aligners have been made, it is time for your first fitting! Dr. Torrey will ensure that the aligners fit correctly and give you detailed instructions on how to care for your Invisalign aligners.
Changes in Your Mouth: As you continue through this treatment process, you may notice changes in your mouth. This is a good sign! It shows that the Invisalign aligners are progressively moving your teeth into their intended positions.
Change of Your Invisalign Braces: You will receive a new set of aligners every few weeks to continue the straightening procedure. Each set is slightly different, intending to bring your teeth closer to optimal alignment.

Benefits of Invisalign

While there are many options to straighten your teeth, Invisalign is an option free of brackets and wires. Invisalign has many benefits for the person such as comfort and flexibility. Here are some more benefits that Invisalign has to offer:

Invisible Appearance: Invisalign trays are invisible! They are completely clear so they don’t detract from your face or smile.
Comfort: Invisalign trays are made of smooth plastic, making Invisalign much more comfortable than traditional metal braces. There are no sharp or extruding edges on the Invisalign trays. They are custom-made to fit your teeth and mouth!
Improved cleanliness: Invisalign trays are removable, which means that when you are ready to brush and floss, you can remove the trays, clean your teeth, and pop the aligners back in. You can also clean the trays as well, which allows for healthier teeth and gums.
Saves time: With Invisalign, you will be able to spend less time at the dentist’s office as they only need to be maintained every 6 weeks on average.
Eat whatever you want: Food restrictions are one of the worst parts about straightening your teeth with traditional braces. With Invisalign, you can remove the trays and eat whatever food you want!
Better dental health: Straight teeth are better for your gums and dental health. Eliminating crowding and gaps makes it easier to care for your teeth, better dental health leads to overall health!

Frequently Asked Questions About Invisalign

Who are suitable candidates for Invisalign?

Invisalign is appropriate for teenagers and adults who want a convenient and discrete teeth-straightening treatment.

Can Invisalign help relieve my TMJ Pain?

Yes, by realigning your teeth, we can often reduce the stress on your temporomandibular joint, reducing inflammation and providing pain relief.

What can I eat with Invisalign?

Always remove your aligners when you are eating. One of the most significant advantages of Invisalign is that you can eat whatever you want!

How do I clean my Invisalign aligners?

We recommend soaking your aligners in hydrogen peroxide in a closed container and shaking them to loosen any debris. After soaking for 30 minutes, brush the aligners to remove any stubborn plaque. Always remember to rinse your aligners before putting them back in your mouth.

How long will I have to wear Invisalign?

Every patient is different depending on the treatment plan developed by Dr. Torrey. He can give an estimate of how long the treatment will last, but variables such as how well your teeth respond may affect the timeline. Most people can expect to wear the aligners for 12–18 months.

Can Invisalign damage my teeth?

Invisalign aligners can correct many forms of misalignment without causing a problem. Like any dental treatment, there could be unforeseen risks, but Dr. Torrey does everything he can to mitigate these.

Does wearing Invisalign hurt?

When you move to each successive aligner, you may feel mild discomfort or aching for the first few days as the new tray applies pressure to some of your teeth. This goes away quickly and does not interfere with daily activities.

Is Invisalign faster than braces?

Yes! Invisalign can achieve in nine months what traditional metal braces take two years to accomplish.
