Invisalign treatment uses a series of removable clear aligners to straighten teeth and correct gaps, crowding, and mild bite issues. An alternative to traditional metal braces, these flexible plastic aligner trays fit snugly over your teeth to gradually adjust their position, the aligners (aka trays) are worn 24/7, except for when eating, drinking, or brushing your teeth.
Invisalign clear aligners are an option for children, teens, and adults, but the orthodontic treatment is especially popular with adults who had braces when they were younger and didn’t wear a retainer to keep their teeth from shifting out of alignment.
(REG. PRICE $5499)
Invisalign is effective for correcting a variety of bite and alignment concerns. You need to attend an initial consultation to ensure it is right for you, and you must be committed to following your treatment correctly to remain on track with the progression.
Your cosmetic dentist takes digital impressions of your mouth, which integrates with 3D technology. This allows us to map the planned movement of your teeth into a series of aligners. You wear the aligners all day except when brushing or flossing your smile. Typically, you will switch to the next tray in the series every week.
Since no brackets or wires are used, Invisalign offers a variety of advantages that are not possible with traditional braces, such as:
Transparent plastic makes them virtually invisible.
Custom-fit aligners to prevent slipping when speaking or smiling.
Smooth aligners prevent irritation to the inside of your lips and cheeks.
Removable to eliminate dietary restrictions.
Less time in the dental chair because you do not need appointments for adjustments.
Easy to clean.
Your oral hygiene remains unchanged.
Results in as few as 6 months.
One of the most common questions we get is: how does White Glow Dental Studio offer so much more while charging so much less? After completing advanced training with the American Academy of Clear Aligners — including a highly selective mentorship program that accepts only a few dentists each year — Dr. Gayed receives exclusive discounts from Invisalign that most dentists aren’t eligible for. Because he’s passionate about helping people achieve beautiful smiles with Invisalign, he proudly passes those savings on to you.
One of the most common questions our patients ask us before they commit to Invisalign is whether it hurts to wear the aligners. For people who are familiar with traditional orthodontic treatment, it’s easy to associate every oral appliance with discomfort or pain. Fortunately, Invisalign aligners are customized to fit your mouth and made from smooth plastic, allowing for a more comfortable solution than metal brackets and wires that can irritate your oral tissues.
Depending on your unique treatment, most patients need to return to our dental office every six to eight weeks for a quick progress check and to pick up their new aligners. This is just so we can examine your teeth and make sure that you’re on the right track toward achieving exquisite results.
Since your aligners are removable, they’re also easy to maintain. It’s important to regularly clean your trays to prevent bacteria from transferring to your mouth or becoming trapped between your aligners and teeth. Here are some basic aligner maintenance instructions:
After your Invisalign treatment is complete, you will need to wear a retainer to maintain the beautiful results. Depending on your needs, we may suggest you wear your retainer for several months around the clock, or only at night. Some patients may also be candidates for a permanent retainer.
