Invisalign FAQ
Wasilla, AK
 Retainers and braces are now a thing of the past. Invisalign has revolutionized the world of orthodontic treatment. It's discreet, convenient and invisible, making it a much more popular way to straighten teeth. Invisalign is a great option for individuals seeking to improve their smiles without the hassle of traditional braces.
Invisalign: The Clear Choice
Invisalign is a teeth-straightening system utilizing clear aligners made from a comfortable, smooth plastic material. These aligners are designed specifically to fit the shape of your teeth and gradually shift them into the position you want. The treatment process involves a series of aligners, each slightly different from the last. This helps your teeth become straighter, but gradually, and in a way that doesn't cause any pain.
The Treatment Process
Invisalign treatment begins with a visit to see one of our dentists, both of whom are trained to diagnose and correct issues related to alignment. We will thoroughly assess your oral health, including the shape and alignment of your teeth. Our team will determine if Invisalign is the right choice for you, or if another treatment option will have better results.
If Invisalign is suitable for you, we will create a personalized treatment plan. This includes a 3D digital model of your teeth based on a digital scan, allowing for more precise planning and design of the aligner itself.
Once your first aligner is ready, you can put it on. The doctor will tell you the right way to wear it, remove it, and clean it to prevent problems of bacteria build up.
Throughout the treatment, we will schedule regular check-ups to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to ensure your teeth are moving as planned. This will include a new set of aligners, approximately every two weeks.
The Benefits of Invisalign
Invisalign offers numerous benefits, making it a popular choice for individuals seeking orthodontic treatment.
Discreet Appearance
Invisalign aligners are almost invisible, which lets you straighten your teeth without the noticeable appearance of traditional braces.
Comfortable and Removable
Invisalign is made of a smooth plastic material that is comfortable to wear for long stretches and doesn't cause irritation. Unlike metal retainers and braces, which can become painful, Invisalign is almost unnoticeable. The aligners are also removable, so it's much easier to eat, brush and floss without worrying about obstructions.
Fewer Orthodontic Appointments
Invisalign generally requires fewer orthodontic appointments in comparison to traditional braces. This is much more convenient for many patients, especially those who have other responsibilities during the day and can't make time for these appointments.
Effective for Various Issues
Invisalign is very effective at addressing a wide range of orthodontic issues. From overcrowding and spacing to overbites, underbites, crossbites, and other issues, Invisalign can deal with all of these problems very easily.
Improved Confidence
Invisalign, being almost invisible, can boost your confidence during treatment, since you won't feel self-conscious about your appearance. This also means you are more likely to seek orthodontic treatment since issues with aesthetics aren't on your list of concerns.
