Invisalign is the best leading clear aligner system because it’s easy, affordable, and corrects a wide range of dental concerns including:

  • Crooked teeth
  • Overcrowded teeth
  • Overbite
  • Crossbite
  • Gaps in teeth

Invisalign allows patients to maintain their daily oral hygiene routine, reducing the risk of an increase in tooth decay and tooth discoloration that is often associated with metal braces. The removable aligners make it possible to brush and floss thoroughly and eat a diet without restrictions.

Invisalign is best for patients seeking a discreet option for realigning crooked teeth. Patients are able to feel confident that their teeth are being realigned without the stigma or discomfort of metal braces.

Why Straighten Crooked Teeth?

Crooked teeth aren’t just an aesthetic issue. That’s just the start. Having crooked teeth impacts your oral health. Crooked teeth are often cramped and overlap each other. This makes them a lot harder to clean. You can’t get floss in between the teeth and your toothbrush can’t reach areas where they overlap. Plaque and tartar build up in these areas, causing tooth decay and gum disease.

When your teeth come together to bite down, pressure distributes across your smile. In an even, balanced smile, the pressure is equal on each of your teeth. Crooked teeth make your bite uneven. Certain teeth take on more pressure than others. They wear down faster and are more prone to chips, cracks, or breaks, leading to the need for restorative dental care.

An uneven bite also contributes to TMJ disorders. When your bite doesn’t come together in the right way, it puts stress on your jaw joint. The disc that allows the jaw to track smoothly gets worn down. This causes pain and tension throughout the jaw and head. Your jaw may pop and click and you may lose proper function. Straightening your teeth and evening your bite can assist with this.

Invisalign® What to Expect

The first step is a consultation with Dr. Stevens in our Greenwood dental office. Once he’s determined that Invisalign is right for you, Dr. Stevens will create a customized treatment plan. The dentist will take an impression of your teeth and send them to the Invisalign laboratory to have a series of custom, clear aligners made for your teeth. Most patients will receive several sets of trays. You wear each pair for about two weeks to gradually reposition the teeth. The length of treatment depends on your condition as well as your goals. Generally speaking, treatment takes 6 to 9 months, but some patients may achieve the results they want in as few as 3 or 4 months. Special retainers and follow-up visits with Dr. Stevens will help ensure you maintain your straighter smile.

What happens after Invisalign?
When your Invisalign treatment is complete, we will require you to wear a retainer for a period of time. Wearing a retainer is a necessary part of treatment. It will prevent teeth from shifting back into their crooked position! This is very important because shifting teeth can undo all the work that your treatment accomplished.
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
The duration of Invisalign treatment varies depending on the complexity of each case and the number of aligners needed. On average, treatment can range from several months to about a year. During the initial consultation, we will provide a more accurate estimate based on your specific needs.
How often do I need to wear my Invisalign alignners?
For optimal results, it is recommended to wear the Invisalign aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day. They should only be removed for eating, drinking (except for water), brushing, and flossing. In order for treatment to work properly and to schedule it is important to wear your aligners for at least 20 to 22 hours every day.
