What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign is an innovative orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gently shift your teeth into an aligned position. 

Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, allowing you to straighten your teeth without drawing unwanted attention to your mouth. These aligners are created for your teeth using advanced 3D computer imaging technology, ensuring a comfortable and precise fit.

The Invisalign Process With Dr. Chaves

Initial Consultation

The journey to your dream smile begins with an initial consultation with Dr. John Chaves. During this appointment, he’ll conduct a thorough examination, taking impressions and X-rays of your teeth. This gives our team a comprehensive understanding of your orthodontic needs and an opportunity to discuss your treatment goals with you.

Digital Treatment Plan

Once Dr. Chaves has a clear picture of your orthodontic requirements, he will use advanced 3D imaging technology to create a customized digital treatment plan. This plan will showcase how your teeth will gradually move throughout the Invisalign process, giving you a glimpse of your future smile.

Custom Aligners

After reviewing and approving the treatment plan, your unique set of clear aligners will be fabricated. These aligners are custom-made to fit your teeth precisely, ensuring a comfortable and effective treatment experience.

Aligner Changes

As your teeth begin to shift into their desired positions, you’ll receive a new set of aligners every two weeks. Each set of aligners will apply gentle pressure to your teeth, gradually moving them toward their final alignment.

Progress Monitoring

Throughout your Invisalign treatment, Dr. Chaves will schedule regular check-ups to monitor your progress closely. During these appointments, he will assess the movement of your teeth and make any necessary adjustments to ensure your treatment stays on track.

Refinements

After completing your initial series of aligners, Dr. Chaves may recommend additional refinement aligners to achieve optimal results. These refinement aligners will fine-tune the positioning of your teeth, ensuring a perfect, long-lasting alignment.

Caring For Your Invisalign Aligners

To ensure the best results and maintain the integrity of your aligners, follow these simple care instructions:
  • Remove aligners when eating or drinking anything other than water
  • Brush and floss your teeth before reinserting aligners
  • Clean aligners with a soft-bristled toothbrush and clear, antibacterial soap
  • Rinse aligners with lukewarm water after cleaning
  • Store aligners in their protective case when not in use

Invisalign Oral Health Tips

While Invisalign aligners are removable, it’s essential to maintain good oral hygiene throughout your treatment. Here are some helpful tips:
  • Brush and floss your teeth twice daily, using a soft-bristled toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste
  • Drink plenty of water and avoid sugary beverages that can cause tooth decay
  • Use an antimicrobial mouthwash to keep your mouth fresh and bacteria-free
  • Attend regular dental check-ups and cleanings at our Woodland Hills dental office

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does Invisalign treatment take?

The duration of Invisalign treatment varies depending on the complexity of your case and the desired outcome. On average, treatment can take anywhere from six to 18 months for adults and 12 to 24 months for teenagers. Your orthodontist will provide a more accurate timeline during your initial consultation.

Is Invisalign painful?

While some patients may experience mild discomfort or pressure when switching to a new set of aligners, Invisalign treatment is generally less painful than traditional braces. Any discomfort is typically minimal and temporary, lasting a few days at most.

Can I remove my Invisalign aligners for special occasions?

Yes, one of the advantages of Invisalign is the ability to remove the aligners for special occasions, such as weddings, job interviews, or important presentations. However, it’s crucial to wear your aligners for at least 22 hours per day to ensure optimal results and avoid prolonging your treatment time.
