Invisalign Clear Aligners for Discreet, Hassle-free Teeth Straightening

If you have crooked teeth, it’s easy to feel insecure about your smile. The good news is that most alignment issues are fairly easy to fix. And we aren’t talking about years of treatment with conventional braces. Southern Pine Dental in Dothan, Alabama, aligns smiles with the Invisalign system that uses “invisible” braces created from strong plastic molds. 

Invisalign treatment: What to expect

What’s great with invisible aligner trays is that they are designed to meet varying smile needs. So, whether you have an overbite, underbite, gapped, or crooked teeth, Invisalign can discreetly align your teeth into a straighter position.

Transforming your smile with Invisalign starts with a consultation with Dr. Durwood Nowell. The objective of this appointment is to evaluate your smile for cavities and gum disease. Should we find oral issues, these must be resolved before undergoing Invisalign treatment.

Next, we use an intraoral camera to scan your teeth. Using your digital images, we create a 3D rendering of your mouth to simulate your treatment plan. This way, we can establish how your smile will look after treatment and how long it will take. The final step is ordering your set of aligners from an Invisalign lab.

When your aligners arrive after about two weeks, you must wear them daily for at least 20-22 hours. Treatment involves changing your aligners every 14 days, and moving your teeth step by step until you achieve your desired smile.

Benefits of Invisalign clear aligners

Here are the advantages of perfecting your smile with Invisalign:

• Invisibility — Clear aligners are less conspicuous when aligning your smile. Most people won’t notice you’re undergoing orthodontics care unless you say something
• Less pain, more gain — Invisalign trays are smooth and gentle on your gums, unlike metal braces that have sharp edges that irritate your gums
• Remove them when you want — Clear braces are detachable, allowing you to remove them when eating or cleaning your teeth. Conventional braces users don’t enjoy this convenience
• Faster treatment — Wear your invisible aligners per your dentist’s instructions, and you’ll see results after a few months of use

With Invisalign teeth straightening, achieving your straight, beautiful smile is never too late.
