If you want to straighten crooked teeth or get rid of wide gaps or spaces between teeth, Invisalign clear aligners are a great option to consider. Treatment with Invisalign is discreet, comfortable and convenient, and you don’t have the embarrassment of being the adult wearing metal braces!
Instead of brackets and wires, Invisalign straightens teeth using a sequence of crystal-clear plastic aligners. When planning your treatment, Dr. Doan takes impressions of your teeth, then uses Invisalign software to plan the movement of your teeth at each stage of treatment.
An Invisalign lab fabricates several sets of custom aligners just for you that, when worn in sequence, will move your teeth into the desired position gradually.
The benefits of treatment with Invisalign are:
- Crystal-clear aligners are barely noticeable
- Smooth, comfortable aligners won’t irritate your mouth
- Clear plastic aligners are easy to wear
- Removable aligners can be taken out for meals and oral hygiene
One benefit that our patients really appreciate is that every 2-3 weeks when they switch out aligners, they can see the subtle improvements in their smiles and stay motivated to continue.
How to Wear Your Clear Aligners
Our Invisalign dentist recommends that you wear each set of aligners for 22 hours a day for 2-3 weeks. Then you’ll switch to the next set of aligners and repeat the process of wearing and changing out your aligners. During treatment, you'll visit our Jacksonville dental office every 4-6 weeks for progress checks and to pick up your new aligners.
In 12-18 months, when you’ve worn all your aligners, your Invisalign treatment is complete, and all you have to do is wear your retainer as instructed.
