Invisalign® is as crafty as a ninja, moving teeth into line with stealthy discretion. You won’t necessarily see it happen in steps, but before you know it, you’ll have the aligned smile you’ve always dreamed of and wonder how the heck it happened without brackets and wires.
We are thrilled to offer Invisalign in Lodi and Elk Grove and want to share with you how it promotes better oral health:
- Bite Alignment — An aligned bite levels your chewing force for less wear and tear on teeth.
- Brushing and Flossing — Oral hygiene sessions are more productive when teeth are not overcrowded.
- Jaw Health — Misaligned teeth impact jaw joint health. Invisalign may be the solution.
This blog covers how Invisalign works and the benefits of treatment.
How Invisalign® Works
Invisalign is a three-step process. First, you visit the dentist for an assessment and treatment plan. This appointment also covers candidacy, costs, and how long you’ll need to be in treatment—usually several months or up to two years. It is also a great time to ask questions and share your concerns with our dental team.
Next, we take impressions of your teeth so the Invisalign lab can create your custom aligners. After they arrive, you start wearing your aligners according to the directions provided by your dentist.
The final phase involves your retainer after Invisalign. The retainer helps keep your teeth in their new positions.
