What is Invisalign?

top 1% invisalign provider Traditional metal braces, albeit effective at straightening teeth, are a thing of the past thanks to the revolutionary treatment process available through Invisalign.

Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that straightens teeth through incremental adjustments using custom clear aligners. The trays gradually shift teeth until reaching their desired position.

Upon scheduling an Invisalign consultation with our team in Charlottesville, VA, we’ll do a thorough assessment and 3D scan of your teeth. This scan and assessment will allow us to custom design and deliver new trays; you’ll wear these for one to two weeks at a time, swapping them with new trays, throughout the treatment process.

Invisalign treatment is faster than traditional metal braces. Our patients typically see results in as little as 6 to 18 months. Compare this to traditional braces that can take upward of 18 months or more!

 

Who is a Candidate for Invisalign?

Invisalign treatment is best suited for individuals who meet the criteria set by our dental professionals.

Invisalign is best for resolving mild to moderate smile problems such as closing smaller tooth gaps or crowded teeth. Invisalign is not ideal for an individual with more serious bite issues which require more involved dental treatment and care.

Invisalign aligners are for those who are committed. To see great results, patients are required to wear their clear aligners up to 22 hours a day. This can be uncomfortable in the beginning; it requires a dedication that some may not be able to meet.

Invisalign is not for people who smoke or require major jaw surgery.

At River Run Dental Spa in Charlottesville, VA, we want to ensure you’re the right fit for Invisalign, which is why we provide a thorough, complimentary consultation. We use this opportunity to fully explain the Invisalign process, set expectations, and answer your questions about this orthodontic treatment. Our doctors will make an informed decision and present the opportunity if you’re an ideal candidate.

 

THE INCREDIBLE Benefits of Invisalign

Invisalign is a nearly “invisible” teeth straightening treatment.

You can achieve an aesthetically pleasing smile without it being noticeable to others. The clear aligner therapy option also makes eating, drinking, and keeping up with your oral hygiene routine a breeze because they are removable. You can enjoy everything you normally do just by popping them out at that moment and then back in.

Invisalign is very comfortable compared to other orthodontic treatments. Their smooth design makes them less irritating because they aren’t rubbing against your gums and lips as you’d experience with traditional metal braces. Likewise, they are low profile, so your mouth and tongue can rest without it feeling slightly out of place.

Invisalign will help you feel more confident because you’ll be proud of your smile. You’ll see the glow – and others will, too – with each passing week as they make micro-adjustments.

Ultimately, Invisalign delivers a transformative experience that goes beyond achieving a straighter smile. We love to see this transformation when providing Invisalign services to our patients in Charlottesville. We can’t wait for you to join the countless others who now have a happy, healthier smile thanks to Invisalign.

Invisalign Frequently Asked Questions

All forms of teeth straightening will cause some discomfort when beginning treatment and Invisalign is no exception. The pressure you experience is a sign that everything is progressing. You will likely experience this the first day or two of each tray; this subsides over time.

We know that our patients lead busy lives. We’re pleased to let you know that Invisalign checkups happen every 10 to 14 weeks. The visit allows us to stay up-to-date with your progress and make adjustments. These visits are one of the major components of why patients see faster results with Invisalign as compared to other clear aligner options. Under supervision, our team will ensure your treatment progresses efficiently and in the healthiest way possible.

Wearing a retainer is essential if you want to see lasting results after having completed Invisalign treatment. A retainer prevents your teeth from shifting and also acts as a valuable touch point for our doctors to check on your oral health and hygiene. The first set of retainers is included with treatment. We also offer several advanced retainer options. As one of the best Invisalign providers in Charlottesville, Virginia, you can count on River Run Dental Spa to create amazing outcomes with Invisalign.

The simplest way to clean your Invisalign aligners is the same as you would your teeth. Gentle brushing with toothpaste and water is all you need to keep them hygienic. Alternatively, you can soak your aligners in a cleaning solution every few days; use this opportunity to give your mouth and teeth a short rest before placing them back in.

Invisalign, like any other dental appliance, will usually affect your speech during the beginning. However, your tongue, mouth, lips, and jaw will quickly adapt to this change. You’ll soon be talking and eating just as you did before – without anyone realizing you have them in!

The Invisalign treatment timeline is heavily dependent on factors such as your age and the severity of your case. However, most individuals complete their Invisalign treatment in about a year’s time.

Yes! Overbite treatment with Invisalign is ideal for any individual with a mild to moderate deviation. The clear aligners shift the jaw forward, correcting the overbite gap. Younger patients see faster results since they’re still growing; older individuals will still see results, but it takes a little longer since their bite and jaw have matured.

As noted, Invisalign isn’t for everyone. We want to ensure that every patient gets the care and attention they need to achieve meaningful orthodontic results. While Invisalign is faster in almost all regards to correcting teeth, braces have their own unique value in crafting great smiles. So yes, Invisalign is faster than braces, but this is only one factor our doctors will outline for you when seeking treatment.
