Why Choose Invisalign
Invisalign has become a preferred alternative to traditional braces for good reason. Here's what sets it apart:
- Nearly invisible: Clear aligners are difficult to notice, letting you straighten your teeth discreetly, whether you're at work or in social settings.
- Removable convenience: You can take your aligners out to eat, brush, and floss normally, something traditional braces don't allow.
- Fewer office visits: Invisalign treatment typically requires less frequent check-ins compared to the regular adjustments needed with braces.
- Predictable results: Treatment is mapped out from the start, so you'll know approximately how many trays you'll need and how long treatment will take.
- Comfortable fit: Smooth plastic aligners are gentler on your cheeks and gums than metal brackets and wires.
Are You a Candidate for Invisalign?
Invisalign is designed to treat a wide range of mild to moderate orthodontic concerns, making it a good fit for many teens and adults. If you're dealing with crowding, gaps, or bite issues and want a more discreet treatment option than traditional braces, Invisalign may be right for you. During your consultation, our dentist will evaluate your bite and alignment to confirm whether Invisalign can achieve your desired results, or whether another treatment approach would work better for your specific case.
Smile Issues Invisalign Can Correct
Invisalign is capable of treating a wide range of alignment concerns, often with the same effectiveness as traditional braces. Here are some of the most common issues we address with Invisalign:
Crowding
When there isn't enough space in the arch for all your teeth to sit properly, they overlap, rotate, and push against each other. Invisalign creates space and guides crowded teeth into their correct positions over the course of treatment.
Spacing and Gaps
Gaps between teeth, whether one prominent space or several smaller gaps distributed across the arch, can be closed effectively with Invisalign by gradually moving adjacent teeth toward each other.
Overbite
An overbite occurs when the upper front teeth overlap the lower front teeth vertically to an excessive degree. Mild to moderate overbites can be corrected with Invisalign through planned movements that bring the bite into a healthier relationship.
Underbite
An underbite is present when the lower teeth sit in front of the upper teeth when the mouth closes. Invisalign can address mild to moderate underbites depending on the underlying cause and the degree of discrepancy.
Crossbite
A crossbite occurs when some upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth rather than outside them when biting. Left uncorrected, crossbites can cause uneven wear, gum recession, and bone loss in the affected areas.
Open Bite
An open bite is a condition where the upper and lower front teeth do not make contact when the back teeth are closed together. Invisalign can correct open bites by guiding the front teeth into proper contact with each other.
Your Invisalign Treatment, Step by Step
Getting started with Invisalign is a straightforward process designed around your specific smile goals. Here's what to expect:
Initial Consultation
We evaluate your teeth and bite to determine if Invisalign is the right treatment for your alignment concerns.
Digital Impressions
We take a detailed mold or digital scan of your teeth, which is used to map out your entire treatment plan from start to finish.
Custom Aligner Fabrication
Based on your treatment plan, a series of custom clear aligners is created to gradually shift your teeth into position.
Wearing Your Aligners
You'll wear each set of aligners for about one to two weeks, switching to the next set in the series as directed.
Progress Check-Ins
Periodic visits allow us to monitor your progress and make sure your treatment is on track.
Retention
Once treatment is complete, a retainer helps maintain your new, straighter smile for years to come.
Invisalign for Busy Lifestyles
One of the biggest advantages of Invisalign is how easily it fits into a busy schedule. Because the aligners are removable, there are no food restrictions to worry about and no wires or brackets that require special cleaning tools. Many working professionals and students appreciate that treatment progresses in the background of daily life, without the frequent adjustment appointments or visible hardware associated with traditional braces.
Straighten Your Smile With Comfortable Invisalign Aligners
Not everyone wants metal brackets and wires. That's why Invisalign clear aligners have become a popular choice for adults, working professionals, and teens. Using a series of virtually invisible, custom-made aligners, Invisalign gradually moves your teeth into proper alignment with greater comfort and fewer office visits than traditional braces.
At Oregon Smile Care Center, we use digital planning to map out your entire treatment from the start. You'll know how many aligners you'll need and approximately how long treatment will take. Most patients complete treatment in 12 to 18 months, while some achieve their desired results even sooner.
