Less Treatment Time

A typical Invisalign case takes about a year from start to finish. You'll see your doctor every month or two to see how you're progressing. Every few visits, you'll be given additional aligners to continue your treatment. Commonly, the number of aligners worn during treatment is between 18 and 30, but treatment time and the number of aligners will vary from case to case.

Invisible and Comfortable

Invisalign is an invisible solution. This means you won't draw undue attention to your mouth while in treatment. In fact, virtually no one will know you're wearing them unless you tell. Comfortable to wear, our aligners are also removable so you can eat, drink, brush, and floss as usual.

Benefits of Invisalign

When it comes to choosing Invisalign to straighten your teeth and improve your bite, there are many benefits that come with this type of treatment, including:

• No irritation to the soft tissues of your mouth because of the aligner’s smooth feel
• Faster treatment time in comparison to traditional metal braces
• Invisible treatment that is undetected by others
• Shorter appointment times at the dentist because there are no wire adjustments needed
• Flexibility to remove your aligners when eating and drinking, making it more enjoyable and easier to eat the foods you love

Indications for Invisalign

Invisalign is considered to be one of the most versatile orthodontic treatment solutions. It can address any of the following problems listed below:

Crowded Teeth

When teeth sit too close to each other, this can pose a problem when trying to floss or brush between them. As bacteria and food particles become trapped, it increases your risk for tooth decay and gum disease. Invisalign works to create necessary space between your teeth, bringing your smile into proper alignment and improving your oral health.

Spaces Between Teeth

Unlike crowded teeth, having too much space between your teeth can pose a similar problem. Tooth decay, gum disease, and cavities can develop should food become lodged in these gaps; however, with Invisalign, the clear aligners can create a shift and bring your teeth closer together, eliminating the gap and creating a more uniform smile.

Bite Alignment

Whether you have an overbite, underbite, crossbite, or open bite, Invisalign can move your smile in such a way that your teeth properly line up, decreasing any pain or discomfort you might have felt due to an improper bite alignment.

Is Invisalign For Me?

Invisalign can be used to treat the vast majority of common problems for adults and teens. Whether your smile needs minor improvements or more extensive adjustments, Invisalign can certainly help. It's successful in treating overly crowded or widely spaced teeth. It can also relieve more complex issues, including overbites, underbites, and even crossbites. In fact, an Invisalign Certified orthodontist or dentist can use Invisalign clear aligners in all or part of just about any treatment plan.

Invisalign FAQs

If you’re considering Invisalign in Bergenfield to straighten your smile, it is likely that you have a few questions before you move forward with treatment. The team at Washington Dental Associates want you to feel comfortable and confident about your decision, so we’ve compiled a list of some of the most common frequently asked questions.

How do I keep my aligners clean?

As one of the great benefits of using Invisalign, keeping them clean is easy to do. All that is required is a toothbrush, clear soap, and lukewarm water. By thoroughly cleaning your aligners, you can remove dried saliva and any bacteria that has accumulated. Just remember never to use hot water, as it can warp the plastic and ruin your aligners.

How often will I be required to see the dentist with Invisalign?

There are fewer visits required when choosing to wear Invisalign aligners. The reason is that there are no wires to adjust like there is with traditional metal braces. Your dentist will want to review your progress along the way and will determine a proper schedule before beginning treatment. These visits will be quick and easy, requiring that we simply review your progress and make sure everything is moving in the right direction.

What can I expect when I’m done with treatment?

It will be necessary for you to wear a retainer once you are finished with Invisalign. The reason is that teeth have a good memory and can easily shift back into their original position. You need something to hold them in place, which is why you’ll need to wear a retainer. It will be up to your dentist as to how long you will wear it but typically, you’ll be expected to wear it all the time in the beginning. After a short while, you may be able to transition to wearing it only at night while you sleep.
