What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a revolutionary orthodontic treatment that offers an alternative to traditional braces. These clear, removable aligners are custom-made to fit your teeth, gradually shifting them into the desired position. Unlike metal braces, Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, allowing you to straighten your teeth discreetly. They’re designed with comfort and convenience in mind, enabling you to eat, drink, and maintain your oral hygiene routine without any hassles. Dr. Kristina Chandler of Cheek Dental near East Cobb, GA, is a skilled provider of Invisalign, helping patients achieve their dream smile with this innovative treatment.
The Invisalign Treatment Process
The Invisalign treatment process is a journey tailored to your unique dental needs, involving a series of steps from initial consultation to achieving your perfect smile.
Consultation
The first step in the Invisalign process is a consultation with Dr. Kristina Chandler. During this visit, she will examine your teeth and discuss your smile goals. Using advanced 3D imaging technology, she will take precise measurements of your teeth and create a digital treatment plan. This plan will show you the expected movement of your teeth at each stage of the treatment, giving you a glimpse of your future smile.
Custom Aligners
Once your treatment plan is finalized, your custom Invisalign aligners will be created. These aligners are made from SmartTrack material, which is comfortable, clear, and fits snugly over your teeth. You’ll wear each set of aligners for about one to two weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss.
Regular Check-ups
Throughout your Invisalign journey, you’ll have regular check-ups with Dr. Kristina Chandler to monitor your progress. These visits are an opportunity to receive your next sets of aligners and ensure everything is moving along as planned. With each new set of aligners, your teeth will move closer to their final position.
The Benefits Of Invisalign
Invisalign offers several benefits over traditional braces, making it a popular choice for patients seeking a convenient, discreet way to straighten their teeth.
Aesthetically Pleasing
One of the most significant benefits of Invisalign is its near invisibility. The clear aligners are virtually undetectable, allowing you to smile confidently throughout your treatment. This makes Invisalign an excellent option for adults and teens who want to straighten their teeth without the noticeable metal and wires of traditional braces.
Comfort and Convenience
Invisalign aligners are not only discreet but also comfortable. They are custom-made to fit your teeth perfectly, reducing the chance of irritation. Furthermore, the aligners are removable, allowing you to maintain your regular diet and oral hygiene routine without any restrictions. You can eat your favorite foods and brush and floss as usual, making the treatment process more convenient.
Predictable Results
With Invisalign, you get to see your treatment plan and expected results before you even start the process. The advanced 3D imaging technology allows Dr. Kristina Chandler to map out your entire treatment, showing the planned movement of your teeth at every stage. This gives you a clear vision of your future smile and makes the outcome more predictable.
