Are you tired of crooked teeth and a misaligned smile? We can help! Dr. Shadi Haykani provides Invisalign® clear aligners to straighten your teeth and give you a beautiful, confident smile. This innovative orthodontic treatment is comfortable and discreet as well as effective, working to improve your smile without the use of metal brackets and wires.

What Are Invisalign Clear Aligners?

Invisalign clear aligners are a modern orthodontic solution for straightening your teeth. Unlike traditional metal braces, the Invisalign system uses a series of custom-made, clear plastic aligners to adjust the position of your teeth. These aligners fit snugly against your teeth to ensure comfort and are virtually invisible, making them a popular choice for teenagers and adults alike.

The Invisalign Treatment Process

Your Invisalign treatment will begin with a consultation with our skilled orthodontist. Dr. Haykani will discuss your oral health and smile goals with you to determine if Invisalign aligners are right for you. You will then have some digital scans and impressions taken of your teeth and mouth. These are used to create a personalized treatment plan, including a simulation of your treatment progress and final result. These highly detailed digital models are then used to design and fabricate custom aligners from smooth, clear plastic. Each set of aligners will make small changes to the positions of your teeth, gradually and gently moving them into their ideal alignment. You will wear each set of aligners for about two weeks, switching to new aligners at the direction of our orthodontist until your treatment is completed.

Benefits of Invisalign Clear Aligners

Invisalign aligners offer many benefits, including:

  • A virtually invisible treatment – because your aligners are made from clear plastic you can enjoy a completely natural appearance throughout your treatment. In fact, people may not even notice you are wearing aligners unless you tell them!
  • Removable aligners – the aligners used in Invisalign treatment can be taken out easily, allowing you to brush, floss and eat normally. This promotes better oral health during your treatment as well as providing you with a treatment that has minimal impact on your day-to-day life.
  • A more comfortable treatment experience – the advanced digital technology used in designing your aligners ensures a perfect fit, reducing the likelihood of irritation and discomfort often associated with metal braces.
  • Fewer office visits – Invisalign treatment generally requires fewer visits to Orchard Dental Group, as you receive multiple sets of aligners at once and will only need periodic check-ins with our dentist to monitor your progress.
  • A versatile treatment option – Invisalign aligners can treat all the same issues as traditional braces, including crooked and misaligned teeth, gapped and spaced teeth, and bad bites such as overbites, underbites, crossbites and open bites.

Invisalign Treatment FAQ

Who is a candidate for Invisalign orthodontics?

a. Invisalign treatment is suitable for a wide range of patients, including both teens and adults. Ideal candidates have mild to moderate dental issues such as crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites and crossbites. During your consultation, our orthodontist will assess your specific dental needs and determine if Invisalign is the right choice for you. Patients must be committed to wearing their aligners for at least 20-22 hours per day for optimal results.

How much does Invisalign treatment cost?

a. The cost of Invisalign treatment varies depending on the complexity of your case and the length of treatment required to align your teeth. Generally, the cost of Invisalign aligners is comparable to the cost of regular braces. Many dental insurances offer coverage for orthodontic treatments, including Invisalign aligners. We encourage you to check with your insurance provider and verify if Invisalign treatment is covered. Please also consult with our orthodontist and team to receive a precise cost-estimate of your care.

How will Invisalign aligners impact my lifestyle?

a. Invisalign aligners are designed to fit seamlessly into your lifestyle. Since they are removable, you can continue to enjoy your favorite foods and maintain your usual oral hygiene routine. Invisalign aligners are also nearly invisible, allowing you to smile and speak confidently during treatment. They are easy to clean and maintain, and because they are custom-made for comfort, they minimize any disruptions to your daily activities. Just remember to wear your aligners for the recommended 20-22 hours per day for effective results.

How do I take care of my Invisalign aligners?

a. Taking care of your Invisalign aligners is simple. Rinse them with lukewarm water every time you remove them to prevent the buildup of saliva and bacteria. Brush them gently with a soft toothbrush and clear, mild soap at least once a day – keeping your aligners clean is important not only for the aligner itself, but also because a dirty aligner may cause your teeth to appear stained or discolored. Avoid using toothpaste, as it can be abrasive and cause scratches. Additionally, make sure to soak your aligners in Invisalign cleaning crystals or a denture cleaner regularly to keep them fresh and odor-free. Always store your aligners in their case when not in use to prevent loss or damage.

Is Invisalign treatment comfortable?

a. Invisalign treatment is designed to be as comfortable as possible. The aligners are custom-made from smooth, BPA-free plastic to fit your teeth perfectly, minimizing any discomfort or irritation. While you may experience mild pressure when switching to a new set of aligners, this is a normal sign that your teeth are moving as intended. Unlike traditional braces, there are no metal brackets or wires to cause sores or abrasions inside your mouth. Most patients adjust to wearing Invisalign aligners quickly and find them much more comfortable than conventional braces.
