What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment that uses a series of custom-made, clear plastic aligners to gradually straighten your teeth. These virtually invisible aligners are removable, allowing you to eat, drink, and maintain oral hygiene with ease.

Using advanced iTero digital scanning technology at our San Diego dental office, we create precise 3D models of your teeth to plan your treatment and design your custom aligners. This technology even allows you to preview your future smile before beginning treatment.

The Invisalign Process

At San Diego Downtown Dental Implants, we begin your Invisalign journey with detailed digital scans and treatment planning. Using advanced digital software, we map out the precise movements of your teeth and create a series of custom aligners. You’ll wear each set of aligners for about two weeks, gradually moving your teeth into their ideal positions. Regular check-ups ensure your treatment stays on track.

What Does Invisalign Treat?

From minor gaps in teeth to significant crowding and malocclusions, Invisalign is safe for treating orthodontic irregularities like:

  • Open bites: A condition where some upper and lower teeth don’t touch when your mouth is closed.
  • Crossbites: Occur when your upper teeth sit inside your lower teeth.
  • Teeth Gaps: Spaces or gaps between teeth.
  • Crowded teeth: When teeth overlap due to insufficient space in the jaw.
  • Underbites: A condition where the lower front teeth overlap your upper front teeth.
  • Crooked or rotated teeth: Teeth that are misaligned or rotated out of their ideal position.

For teenagers, the thought of metal braces can be daunting. That’s why many teens prefer Invisalign®, which allows them to straighten their teeth without brackets and wires. Invisalign® aligners come with blue compliance indicators that fade over time, helping parents and orthodontists ensure the aligners are worn as directed.

Our teen patients love Invisalign because it’s a convenient and comfortable alternative to traditional braces that still delivers amazing results. Invisalign aligners are completely clear, making them nearly invisible. With Invisalign, teens can:

  • Eat whatever they want, whenever they want
  • Brush and floss as normal with no obstructions
  • Play sports and instruments without fear of discomfort or broken brackets

Invisalign® isn’t just for kids and teens – it’s an excellent option for adults seeking a convenient, discreet solution for straightening their teeth. Many adults love Invisalign® because it fits seamlessly into their busy lifestyles without compromising their professional image.

Misaligned teeth can create a variety of issues, such as:

  • Improper bite alignment
  • TMJ problems
  • Speech impediments
  • Missing or damaged teeth create uneven bites and gaps

Orthodontics has also been shown to improve overall dental health by making it easier to brush and floss around crooked or overlapping teeth. Plus, Invisalign can help increase self-esteem through improved appearance, leading to greater social confidence.

Invisalign® FAQs

If you have any questions about Invisalign®, we’ve got answers.

Invisalign is a fantastic orthodontic treatment method that helps millions of people achieve their dream smile every year. To determine if you are a candidate for Invisalign, we will conduct a thorough examination and discuss your treatment with you at length. To schedule a consultation for Invisalign in San Diego, give us a call at 619-702-4204.

Unlike braces, you can eat whatever you like as long as you remove your Invisalign aligners before eating! Before you place the aligners back in your mouth, it’s important to brush your teeth and clean your aligners first.

As with braces, it is common to have some temporary discomfort at the beginning of each new set of Invisalign aligners. Typically, it is described as pressure or soreness, and a sign that the Invisalign trays are working and moving your teeth.

Depending on your unique smile, most Invisalign treatments take 12-18 months to complete. Minor cosmetic cases can take as little as six months from start to finish. Whereas more complex scenarios may require up to 24 months. We’ll provide a personalized timeframe estimate during your initial consultation.

We offer complimentary consultations to assess your teeth and bite and determine if Invisalign® clear aligners are suitable for you. During the consultation, we will examine your bite and take x-rays and digital images.

Proper care of your Invisalign aligners is essential for achieving the best results. Here are some tips to keep your aligners clean and in good condition:

  • Clean Your Aligners Daily: Rinse your aligners with lukewarm water and brush them gently with a soft toothbrush to remove any food particles or bacteria. Avoid using hot water as it can warp the plastic.
  • Remove Aligners When Eating or Drinking: Always remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water. This prevents staining and damage to the aligners.
  • Store Aligners Properly: When not in use, store your aligners in their protective case to avoid loss or damage.
  • Maintain Good Oral Hygiene: Brush and floss your teeth thoroughly before reinserting your aligners to keep your teeth and gums healthy.

Remember that your aligners are made of plastic, so it’s important to protect them from high-heat sources like hot cars or hot beverages, as they may become distorted. Additionally, avoid attempting to sanitize them through boiling or dishwasher use.

Pricing for Invisalign treatment is dependent upon several factors, including how many aligners are required and the length of your specific treatment plan. If you have orthodontic benefits under your insurance plan, this will also reduce your out-of-pocket costs. San Diego Downtown Dental Implants offers flexible monthly payments on all Invisalign treatments, making it convenient and affordable to enjoy a straighter, healthier smile.
