What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign is an innovative orthodontic treatment that uses a series of custom-made, clear plastic aligners to gradually move teeth into their desired position. Unlike metal braces, Invisalign aligners offer a discreet way to correct issues like crooked teeth, overcrowding, and gaps.
We craft each aligner using the latest dental technology, including 3D imaging and digital scanning, which ensures a perfect fit and effective results. Invisalign is an excellent solution for adults and teens looking for a more flexible and less noticeable way to improve their smile.
Benefits of Invisalign in Concord
- Virtually Invisible: The clear design means most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them.
- Comfortable: Unlike metal braces, there are no sharp brackets or wires to irritate your gums.
- Removable: You can take them out when eating, drinking, or brushing your teeth, allowing for greater convenience and better oral hygiene.
- Effective: Invisalign effectively treats a wide range of orthodontic issues, often delivering results faster than traditional braces.
The Invisalign Process at Concord Dental Care
Getting started with Invisalign in Concord at our office is a simple and seamless experience:
Step 1: Initial Consultation
Your Invisalign journey begins with a consultation with Dr. Herrera. We’ll use state-of-the-art technology, such as our iTero Digital Scanner and InstaRisa Facial Scanner, to capture detailed images of your teeth and discuss your treatment goals.
Step 2: Custom Treatment Plan
Using advanced CAD/CAM technology and 3D printing, we’ll create a detailed treatment plan, mapping out the precise movements of your teeth. You’ll even get to preview what your smile will look like after treatment!
Step 3: Receive Your Aligners
Within weeks, you’ll receive your first set of custom aligners. Each aligner will gradually shift your teeth closer to their ideal position. You’ll need to wear them for 20–22 hours a day, removing them only for eating, drinking, or cleaning.
Step 4: Follow-ups with Dr. Herrera
We’ll schedule regular check-ins to monitor your progress and provide you with the following sets of aligners. These appointments are quick and efficient, allowing you to stay on track with your treatment.
Step 5: Reveal Your New Smile
Once your treatment is complete, you’ll get a set of retainers to help maintain your new smile. Say hello to straighter teeth and newfound confidence!
Caring for Your Invisalign Aligners
Proper care is essential for keeping your aligners clear and ensuring effective treatment. Here are some tips:
- Clean Daily: Clean your aligners daily with a soft toothbrush and lukewarm water. Avoid hot water, which can warp the plastic.
- Remove for Meals: Always take out your aligners when eating or drinking anything other than water to prevent staining and damage.
- Store Properly: When your aligners are not in your mouth, store them in the provided case to avoid losing or damaging them.
- Practice Good Oral Hygiene: Brush and floss after meals before putting your aligners back in to maintain fresh, clean aligners.
Dr. Herrera and the Concord Dental Care team are here to guide you through every step of your Invisalign treatment, including best practices for aligner care.
