Invisalign® offers numerous advantages over traditional braces. The clear plastic aligners are nearly invisible, providing a discreet treatment option, especially for adults and teens. They are custom-made for a comfortable fit and can be easily removed for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing, allowing for easier oral hygiene maintenance without dietary restrictions. Invisalign® uses advanced 3D imaging technology to create a personalized treatment plan, offering predictable results and typically requiring fewer dental visits. It effectively treats many orthodontic issues, including crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. The ability to remove aligners provides flexibility for special occasions and sports activities, while the smooth plastic material reduces the risk of irritation to the gums and cheeks. Overall, Invisalign® is a convenient, comfortable, and discreet way to achieve a straighter smile and improved oral health.

01.
Process of Invisalign® Treatment
Consultation: During your initial consultation at Capital Dental, Dr. Killeen will assess your oral health and discuss your specific goals for your smile.
Digital Impressions: We use advanced digital scanning technology to create a precise 3D image of your teeth instead of traditional molds. This digital model serves as the foundation for the customized Invisalign® treatment plan.
Treatment Plan Design: Using the digital impressions, we will collaborate with Invisalign® to create a tailored treatment plan. This plan outlines the gradual movement of the teeth and provides a preview of the expected results. Treatment plans typically take six months to a year and a half.
Custom Aligners: Based on the treatment plan, a series of custom-made, clear plastic aligners are crafted. Each aligner is designed to be worn for about two weeks before progressing to the next one, gradually shifting the teeth into the desired position.

Next Steps After Invisalign®
Wearing the Aligners: You will wear the Invisalign® aligners for at least 22 hours a day, removing them only for eating, drinking, and oral hygiene.
Regular Check-ups: Throughout the treatment, you will visit Capital Dental every five to six weeks to ensure that the teeth are progressing as planned. Adjustments to the treatment plan can be made if necessary.
Completion: Once the entire series of aligners has been worn, the teeth should have reached their final, corrected positions. Dr. Killeen will evaluate the results and may recommend additional measures, such as retainers, to maintain the new alignment.
