Invisalign®

Invisalign® is the premier, clear orthodontic alternative to traditional metal braces that has revolutionized the way smiles are transformed. Its specially-developed system eliminates the need for awkward and cumbersome metal brackets and wires. When the treatment is in the hands of an experienced dental professional, Invisalign® can correct most dental issues, including crowding and gaps, in record time.

Lance Alder, DDS, our renowned dentist, is a preferred provider for Invisalign®. Dr. Alder consistently impresses our patients with his spectacular Invisalign® results. Call today to obtain your remarkable smile!

What are the Benefits of Invisalign?®

Invisalign® offers several potential benefits, including:

  • Correction of misalignment, crowding, gaps, and spaces
  • Reduced appearance of overbites or underbites
  • Virtually invisible appearance
  • Removable aligners that make eating, brushing, and flossing much easier
  • No need for wires or brackets
  • A customized, comfortable fit
  • Relatively quick results – sometimes in as little as six months!

These advantages have allowed Invisalign® to replace traditional braces as the most sought-after teeth straightening technique on the market. For a preview of the experience, take a look at our Invisalign® video.

Who is a Candidate for Invisalign?®

Candidates for Invisalign® typically suffer from misalignments, crowding, an overbite or underbite, or other spacing concerns that they would like to fix in an inconspicuous way. The best way to determine your eligibility for Invisalign® is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Alder. After an examination of your overall dental health, he will weigh your concerns and help decide whether Invisalign® is the best treatment for you.

The whole team at Dr. Alder’s office is extremely helpful and friendly. I have done Invisalign and have been very happy with my teeth so far! I never have trouble making or changing appointments which is definitely helpful as my schedule is always changing! I highly recommend this clinic to anyone and my family members now go to Dr. Alder because of my positive experience with his clinic and staff!

What are the Stages of Invisalign?®

At our practice, Invisalign® is generally performed in the following stages:

  • Dr. Alder will meet with you and take a 3D scan of your teeth. This scan will be used to digitally create and design your personalized clear aligners, showing you your new smile before treatment even starts.
  • The process officially begins with the very first aligner. During regular visits to the office, Dr. Alder will ensure that these comfortable, personalized aligners are working well and your treatment plan is on track.
  • Once your treatment has been completed and your goals achieved, Dr. Alder will provide you with a customized clear retainer. These retainers are designed to keep that perfect new straight smile for a lifetime.

What Does Recovery from Invisalign® Involve?

Following the placement of your Invisalign® aligners, you may experience some discomfort or pressure; however, this is usually mild and temporary. Additionally, this is usually a sign that the aligners are working properly and your teeth are moving as planned. If you notice any unusual discomfort or other concerns once your aligners have been placed, we encourage you to let our office know right away.

How Long Does Invisalign® Take?

The length of your Invisalign® treatment will depend on the complexity of your case. In some instances, Invisalign® can deliver desired results in as little as six months, though the timeline may be shorter or longer based on your specific dental needs. Dr. Alder will closely monitor your progress with regular check-ups and make adjustments as necessary.

How Do I Care for My Invisalign® Aligners?

One of the many benefits of Invisalign® aligners is the fact that they are generally very easy to maintain. To keep your Invisalign® aligners clean, brush and rinse them with lukewarm water after every meal.* You may use a small amount of toothpaste or antibacterial soap. Remember to clean your aligners consistently for optimal results.

Do I Have to Wear a Retainer After Invisalign®?

After completing your Invisalign® treatment, it is essential that you wear your retainer. The retainer is designed to maintain your teeth’s new alignment and prevent them from gradually shifting back to their original position. While it may feel like an additional step at first, wearing your retainer plays a crucial role in keeping your teeth straight for years to come. We trust you’ll come to feel it’s worth it!
