Clear Aligners: Reno’s #1 Teeth Straightening Solution

What is Invisalign®?

You’re probably familiar with how traditional metal braces gradually straighten teeth over time. For years, this has been the most common way to get straight teeth, but new technology and ideas have led to more modern techniques such as Invisalign® treatment. Invisalign® is an innovative alternative to braces that uses clear aligners to move the teeth into place. But, Invisalign’s flexible plastic aligners* are less noticeable than customary metal braces and cause less discomfort. As a clear and removable aligner, Invisalign® has become a popular choice for teeth straightening solutions with teens and adults.

*Invisalign® clear aligners are made from a flexible plastic that has been approved by the FDA and is free of BPA, BPS, latex and gluten

Benefits of Invisalign® Clear Aligners

Your Invisalign® clear aligners are custom-made for you to fit snugly over your teeth. Each aligner shifts your teeth slightly, moving them horizontally and vertically and even rotating them when needed. Your aligners are engineered to use the right amount of force in the right place at the right time.

When you change to the next set of aligners (typically every week), your teeth gradually move into position, following a custom treatment plan mapped out by your doctor. Essentially, they work similarly to braces, but they come with an array of benefits that traditional braces don’t offer such as:

• Being virtually invisible making them less noticeable
• Can be easily removed for brushing, flossing, eating and drinking
• May help you feel more comfortable and confident than braces

• And cause less irritation because there are no metal wires or brackets

Invisalign® Treatment Process

Our Invisalign® treatment process starts with a consultation with our passionate Reno orthodontist. This consultation will allow us to examine and evaluate your smile to outline a customized treatment plan. Dr. B and his team can create a precise and effective layout through the use of the iCat and iTero scanners. These digital tools allows us to get more detailed images of your mouth to provide the best solution and produce the best results.

Once the treatment plan has been approved, your Invisalign® clear aligners will be created and fitted for your mouth. You’ll wear the aligners for 20-22 hours a day, typically only removing to eat, drink or brush/floss. You’ll also need to change your personalized aligners every 1-2 weeks based on direction by your doctor. And depending on your plan of treatment, you’ll likely visit with your orthodontist every 10-12 weeks for check-ins and adjustments.

Is Invisalign® the right solution for me?

Many patients are unsure of whether or not Invisalign® will work for them. There are many things to consider, such as your dental history. Fortunately, though, Invisalign® has been modified and improved to fix nearly all common teeth straightening and bite concerns, both simple and complex. Invisalign® clear aligners are suitable for teens and adults, but each person’s mouth is unique. Schedule a consultation to determine whether or not Invisalign clear aligners will be a good teeth-straightening solution.
