Invisalign® Clear Aligners
When envisioning someone with braces, you may likely see a teenager with a mouthful of metal in your mind's eye. But that's a vision from the past. These days, of the four million Americans that wear braces, one in four are adults. And because most adults find metal brackets and wires on teeth intrusive and unattractive, we offer a more modern approach to straightening teeth using a transparent aligner system provided by Invisalign®.
These clear plastic trays are virtually invisible when worn and gradually nudge your teeth into new positions to create a straightly aligned smile. As a result, you won't need metal brackets glued to your teeth and sharp wires that can cut and irritate your mouth. Instead, you simply wear the next set of aligners in a series every two weeks, watching as your new smile emerges.
At Pacific Coast Dental, we've tried other clear aligner systems before settling on Invisalign because they are the industry leader. In addition, we are an Invisalign gold provider, and our orthodontic partner is a platinum provider. So these rankings come with a promise that we are Invisalign experts in every way.
How the Invisalign System Straightens Pacifica Smiles
Invisalign clear aligners and conventional metal braces work by physically pushing your teeth into a new position. But while the traditional approach is through clunky brackets and wires, Invisalign takes advantage of advanced digital planning to create an individualized treatment you can see before we begin. Then, once we've refined your plan, we send it to an Invisalign lab that produces your aligner trays in a series that will define your treatment time and extent. As you wear each set of trays, your teeth will move one step closer to your newly straightened smile.
Here are some other details about your Invisalign treatment:
- You wear your aligners 20-22 hours per day, including while you sleep
- Your aligners are removable for eating, brushing, and flossing
- Special polymers keep your aligners clear and comfortable
- Change to your next set of aligners about every two weeks
Our Advanced Imaging Technology Promotes Better Treatments
Our investment in dental technology includes the specialized iTero® impressionless scanners for the most accurate assessment of your candidacy for Invisalign. We always want to ensure that you'll get the results you want. Your trust is among our top priorities, so if your alignment challenges may not respond to Invisalign, we will help you decide on orthodontic alternatives.
If all signs are positive concerning your Invisalign plan, we can focus on aspects like treatment time, budget, and the potential need for other Invisalign augmentations to improve your care. One massive advantage of Invisalign clear aligners is that it's predictable, taking much of the guesswork out of your orthodontic treatment.
