invisalign®
Many older patients dream of finally correcting their crooked teeth and gaps, only to shy away at the thought of wearing metal braces. This is understandable – you’ve worked hard for your polished image, and you don’t want to feel like you’re right back in middle school. Thankfully, Invisalign Clear Braces are available here at Purple Plum Dentistry as a highly aesthetic alternative.
how does invisalign work?
Everyone’s Invisalign journey starts out the same way—with a consultation! When you book yours with our amazing team, we’ll capture X-rays of your mouth as well as intraoral images to help us create a 3D model of your smile. This will allow us to see what orthodontic issues need to be addressed as well as their severity and outline a treatment plan for you, so you know what to expect throughout the process.After committing to moving forward with our treatment plan, you’ll receive your first set of Invisalign trays, which you’ll wear for about two weeks before moving onto the next series in your treatment. Every six to eight weeks, you’ll return to our office to pick up the next sets of aligners until you’ve achieved the final results.
the benefits of invisalign®
Instead of the traditional metal brackets and wires, patients will wear clear, custom-made aligners that slide in smoothly over their teeth. Their subtle appearance will be barely noticeable in everyday life, and they can be removed at any time for convenient eating, brushing, and flossing. If you would like to explore the benefits of Invisalign in greater detail, don’t hesitate to contact our team here in Falls Church.
Everyone’s teeth are unique, and so is the treatment needed to straighten them. With traditional braces, your treatment could last for multiple years. However, at Purple Plum Dentistry, we handle mild to moderate alignment issues, which means that Invisalign treatment with us typically takes between two and a half months to twelve months to complete. Invisalign clear trays makes it simple and fast to get the results you want for your smile. For those with more severe misalignment, we can refer you to great orthodontists in the area who can help correct your teeth.
Indications for Invisalign®
Invisalign is a versatile orthodontic treatment that can be used to address a variety of issues, like crowded and gapped teeth, and bite misalignment, ranging in mild to moderate in severity. However, the best way to learn whether you’re a good candidate for the treatment is to visit our office for a consultation.
Crowded teeth can increase your risk of developing common oral health problems like cavities and gum disease by making it harder to brush and floss them. Invisalign can straighten them out and create a smoother, easier-to-clean surface.
While some people love the gaps between their teeth, others aren’t so fond of them. If this is your reality, Invisalign aligners can gradually and gently close gaps between teeth to create a symmetrical, complete row of pearly whites that you feel proud to let show.
Invisalign trays can fix minor to moderate overbite, underbite, and crossbite to help address underlying issues, like bruxism and TMJ dysfunction.
