Invisalign

Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment that utilizes clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth and correct bite issues without traditional braces. Custom-made for each patient using advanced 3D imaging technology, these aligners gradually shift teeth into their desired position over time.

Unlike metal braces, Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible and can be easily removed for eating, brushing, and flossing, providing a more comfortable and convenient orthodontic solution. Invisalign has gained popularity for its effectiveness, discretion, and flexibility, making it a preferred choice for individuals seeking a discreet and convenient way to improve their smile.

WHAT TO EXPECT AT YOUR INVISALIGN APPOINTMENT?

Initial Consultation

During the initial consultation, you will meet with our trained Invisalign provider to discuss your orthodontic concerns and treatment goals. Our dentist will evaluate your dental condition, take digital scans or impressions of your teeth, and discuss whether Invisalign is the right option for you.

Custom Treatment Plan

Using advanced 3D imaging technology, our Invisalign provider will create a custom treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and goals. You'll get to see a virtual representation of how your teeth will move throughout the course of treatment and preview the expected final result.

Fabrication of Aligners

Using specialized software, the dentist will map out the desired tooth movements and develop a series of clear aligners tailored to your needs. These aligners are made from a clear, smooth plastic material and are virtually invisible when worn, providing a discreet orthodontic solution.

Wearing the Aligners

Once your Invisalign aligners are ready, you'll receive a set of aligner trays to wear sequentially, typically for 20 to 22 hours per day. You'll switch to a new set of aligners approximately every one to two weeks, as directed by our dentist.

Monitoring Progress and Maintenance

Throughout your treatment journey, you'll have periodic check-up appointments with our dentist to monitor progress and ensure the treatment is proceeding as planned. After completing the series of aligners, you may be provided with retainers to prevent teeth from shifting back to their original positions.

The Benefits Of Invisalign Aligners



Comfort is another significant advantage of Invisalign. The aligners are custom-made to fit snugly over the teeth, eliminating the discomfort often associated with metal brackets and wires. Made from BPA-free plastic, they are gentle on the gums and soft tissues of the mouth, reducing the likelihood of irritation or soreness.

Moreover, Invisalign aligners are removable, offering unparalleled convenience compared to traditional braces. Patients can easily remove their aligners when eating, drinking (something other than water), brushing, and flossing, eliminating the dietary restrictions and hygiene challenges associated with braces. This flexibility allows individuals to enjoy their favorite foods and maintain optimal oral hygiene without any hindrance.


Maintaining oral hygiene is essential during orthodontic treatment, and Invisalign makes this easier. Because the aligners are removable, patients can brush and floss their teeth as they normally would, without worrying about brackets and wires. This reduces the risk of plaque buildup, tooth decay, and gum disease, ensuring optimal oral health throughout treatment. With Invisalign, patients can maintain a healthy smile while achieving their desired straighter smile.


Dentures are removable prosthetic devices used to replace multiple missing teeth. They restore chewing function, speech clarity, and facial aesthetics, enhancing confidence and quality of life for individuals with significant tooth loss. Dentures can be complete (replacing all teeth) or partial (replacing several missing teeth), custom-made to fit comfortably and securely in the mouth.

Benefits

• Replace multiple missing teeth

• Restore chewing ability

• Improve speech clarity

• Enhance smile aesthetics

• An affordable option for tooth replacement


Since the entire process of preparing, designing, and placing the crown is completed in a single appointment, you won't have to take time off work or rearrange your schedule for multiple dental visits. This makes same-day crowns a convenient option for busy individuals.


Invisalign aligners are designed to be removable, offering unparalleled convenience compared to traditional braces. This feature allows patients to easily take out their aligners when eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing, enjoy meals without any restrictions, and easily maintain their oral hygiene. Whether enjoying a meal with friends or practicing oral hygiene routines, patients can simply remove their aligners and reinsert them afterward without any disruption to their lifestyle.


One of the most compelling benefits of Invisalign in Austin, TX, is its discreet appearance. Unlike traditional metal braces, which can be visually prominent and sometimes considered unattractive, Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible when worn. Made from clear, smooth plastic, they blend in seamlessly with the natural color of the teeth, allowing individuals to undergo orthodontic treatment without drawing unwanted attention to their smile.
