What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a series of custom-made, clear plastic aligners that are designed to fit over the upper and lower teeth to help shift teeth slowly into the proper alignment.

What is the treatment process like with Invisalign?

There are several phases to getting Invisalign in Fredericksburg:

Consultation: Before your treatment can begin your Fredericksburg dentist will perform a thorough examination and a series of X-rays to make sure your smile is right for Invisalign. We will also talk to you about your goals for treatment to make sure that Invisalign is about to give you what you want.

Your Treatment Plan: Next, we will take impressions of your teeth and from that create a series of 3D images. These images will be used to help us design your specific treatment plan.

Your Aligners: Since your aligners are custom-made based on the treatment plan we’ve created for you, you will have to wait about a week before your aligners are ready to be fitted. When they come in, your next visit will be for us to fit you with the first set of aligners in your treatment to make sure everything feels comfortable and looks great.

Wearing Invisalign: Every set of aligners will be worn for about two weeks. After the two weeks is over, you will remove them and replace them with the next set in your treatment series. All aligners should be worn for the majority of the day and may only be removed to eat, drink and brush your teeth. Otherwise, you need to keep your aligners on at all times to ensure that your treatment goes according to plan.

During this time, you will also see your Fredericksburg, VA dentist every six weeks to make sure everything is going well and your smile is healthy.

What are the benefits of getting Invisalign in Fredericksburg, VA?

Invisalign is a great option for teens and adults looking to straighten their teeth and gain healthier smiles without wearing traditional metal braces. Now patients can straighten their smile invisibly. Plus, the aligners are custom-made to fit you, so you won’t have to deal with the same soreness and discomfort that you would with traditional braces.

Furthermore, your aligners can be removed so you don’t have to adhere to a strict diet. In fact, you can still enjoy all of your favorite foods (something those with regular braces can’t). Just remove your aligners before eating or brushing your teeth and be sure to rinse them out thoroughly before putting them back in.
