Invisalign®
Having the smile you have always dreamed of is now possible without enduring the hassle of braces. Invisalign makes it possible to straight your teeth with the use of clear, almost invisible aligners that are custom molded to your teeth.
With Invisalign, La Jolla residents can go about their daily activities with complete confidence and without anyone being aware that they are wearing aligners. This is the perfect option for busy professionals or anyone else who is not satisfied with their smile.
The clear alternative to metal braces
Through the use of clear aligners that can be removed, it is possible to achieve fast results. During your course of treatment, your aligners will be changed about every two weeks in order to position your teeth into straighter positions. As a result of the carefully designed step-by-step process, you can have the beautiful smile you have always desired. Unlike with traditional metal braces, you can remove these clear aligners when you brush your teeth and eat.
Shorter Treatment Time
The average treatment time for a course of treatment is approximately one year. You can typically anticipate coming into our La Jolla Invisalign office about every six to eight weeks for adjustments to be made and to allow us to check your progress. At regularly scheduled intervals, you will also receive a new set of clear aligners that have been custom molded to your mouth. This will allow the straightening process to continue as your teeth move into the new, straighter positions. It is important to keep in mind that the total number of aligners you will need is unique to your situation. We will determine this while designing your individual course of treatment.
Completely Comfortable and Almost Invisible
Due to the fact that Invisalign is almost invisible, you can rest assured that there will be no unwanted attention drawn to your mouth. Many people tell us that others never even notice they are wearing aligners. Easy to remove and completely comfortable to wear, these clear aligners allow you to go about your daily life with confidence.
Few Dietary Restrictions
In the past, if you chose to have your teeth altered with the use of metal braces, your diet would often become quite restricted. This would often involve the need to avoid foods that were sticky or crunchy as well as foods such as popcorn, nuts, chips, and gum. There are no such restrictions with aligners that can be removed while eating. Also, due to the fact that Invisalign aligners are made from strong plastic, there are no concerns about any dental appliances breaking in your mouth.
Increased Comfort
Many people frequently found in the past that the sharp parts of most dental appliances, including metal braces, often caused cuts to the gums. This type of painful experience can now be avoided with the use of Invisalign.
