Why Choose Invisalign?
Traditional metal braces are effective, but they can be uncomfortable, obvious, and inconvenient. Invisalign clear aligners provide an alternative that is: a more comfortable and discreet option, often recommended in cosmetic dentistry for a seamless smile transformation.
- Virtually Invisible: The aligners are clear and discreet, so no one will notice you’re wearing them.
- Comfortable: Made of smooth, BPA-free plastic, the aligners fit snugly over your teeth without causing irritation.
- Removable: You can take the aligners out when eating, brushing, and flossing, allowing for better hygiene and no dietary restrictions.
- Convenient: With no wires to adjust, you’ll have fewer visits to the dentist and more time for the things you love.
Who Is a Candidate?
While Invisalign may not be right for every case, most patients with mild to moderate alignment issues are excellent candidates for clear aligner therapy.
- Underbites: When the lower teeth extend beyond the upper teeth.
- Overbites: When the upper teeth extend too far over the lower teeth.
- Crossbites: When the upper and lower teeth do not align correctly.
- Gaps Between Teeth: Spaces that can trap food and promote bacterial buildup.
- Crowded Teeth: When teeth overlap due to a lack of space in the jaw.
- Crooked Teeth: Teeth that are not properly aligned.
Your Moore County Invisalign dentist will assess your smile and let you know if Invisalign is the best option for your needs.
The Process
At Kuhn Dental Associates, we use advanced dental technology to ensure precision and efficiency throughout your Invisalign treatment. Here’s what to expect:
Step 1: Complimentary Consultation
We start with a thorough consultation to evaluate your smile and discuss your goals. Then, using the iTero Element™ scanner, we create a detailed 3D digital scan of your teeth—no messy impressions needed!
Step 2: Custom Treatment Plan
Based on your scan, we design a custom treatment plan that maps out the exact movements of your teeth. You’ll even get to see a digital preview of what your smile will look like after Invisalign treatment.
Step 3: Wearing Your Aligners
You’ll receive a series of clear aligners that gradually shift your teeth into the desired position. Each set of aligners is worn for about 1-2 weeks before switching to the next set. For the best results, aligners should be worn for 20-22 hours per day.
Step 4: Monitoring Your Progress
We’ll schedule periodic check-ins to ensure your treatment is progressing as planned. Most patients complete Invisalign in about 6-12 months, but treatment time varies depending on individual needs.
Step 5: Retainers for Lasting Results
Once your Invisalign treatment is complete, you’ll need to wear a retainer to maintain your new, straight smile and prevent your teeth from shifting back.
The Benefits of Invisalign
Invisalign offers many advantages over traditional braces, including:
- A discreet, nearly invisible appearance
- No dietary restrictions—eat what you love
- Improved oral hygiene with removable aligners
- A comfortable, custom fit
- Fewer visits to the dentist for adjustments
Patients of all ages, from teens to adults, appreciate the convenience and flexibility that Invisalign provides.
