Invisalign La Verne, CA
Historically, there has been just one option for straightening crooked teeth: metal braces. While traditional orthodontics is effective, it can be uncomfortable and time-consuming. The obtrusiveness of metal braces can also lead to self-conscious feelings. For many patients, Invisalign represents a better way. Invisalign offers many of the same benefits as traditional braces, allowing you to get the confident smile you have always wanted. And Invisalign can be both painless and faster. At Elevated Dentistry, we are proud to provide Invisalign to our patients throughout the greater La Verne, CA area.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a brand of transparent aligners that are custom-made to correct crowding, overbites, underbites, and crooked teeth. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign is a clear removable orthodontic appliance that can easily be removed when convenient and can then be put back into place just as easily. Due to the discrete design of Invisalign, other people are less likely to notice that the patient is wearing Invisalign. Though Invisalign corrects many of the same problems as braces, it usually works much more quickly and without as much discomfort.
Did You Know?
Because aligners are both clear and removable, patients usually do not experience the same sense of self-consciousness.
Local Anesthesia
For many patients, especially those whose surgical needs are more modest in scope, local anesthesia is sufficient for a comfortable experience.
Care that won’t break the bank
We’re committed to making care affordable and accessible. Our team is here to help you finance your same-day crown in a way that fits your lifestyle and budget.
IV Sedation
Some patients prefer to be “put under” for their procedure, something we can provide through IV sedation. This is an especially good option for those whose surgery will be more time-intensive.
The Benefits of Invisalign
No Change to Diet
With Invisalign, you can eat and drink whatever you want.
Flexible to Your Lifestyle
You can easily remove your aligners for special occasions, such as photos.
Faster Results
While traditional braces may be needed for as long as five years, Invisalign can give you the results you need in as little as 12 months.
The Invisalign Treatment Process
Consultation
During your consultation, we will talk about your goals for straighter teeth and examine your smile to determine whether Invisalign is the right option for you.
Treatment Plan
If you are a candidate for Invisalign, we will take a 3-D digital scan, photos, and x-rays of your teeth. We gather the information to create a digital model of your mouth and teeth for a custom treatment plan. After you approve the plan, we will send it, along with your scan, photos, and x-rays, to the Invisalign lab to make custom aligners for you.
Wearing your aligners
When your Invisalign aligners are ready, we will examine them for fit. Your dentist will adjust them as needed for comfort around your gumline. You will wear each set of aligners for 20 to 22 hours daily for two weeks. Then, switch to the next pair of aligners. Many patients start seeing results in a few weeks.
Check-up appointments
Every six to eight weeks, you will have a check-up appointment in our office and get a new package of aligners. We will determine if your progress is on track or requires adjustments. After you wear all your aligners, we will examine your teeth again and check for any needed refinements to your smile.
