Invisalign® Q&A

How does Invisalign work?

Invisalign is an innovative and effective way to straighten teeth, offering an appealing alternative to traditional orthodontic treatments like braces.

With Invisalign, you wear plastic aligners that you switch out every one to two weeks with a new set of slightly adjusted aligners. The aligners gradually guide your teeth into the desired position with each new set.

You’ll need to wear them for at least 20 hours a day, but you can remove them easily to clean your teeth and eat.

What are the benefits of Invisalign?

Due to its ease of use and comfort, Invisalign is an increasingly sought-after treatment for misaligned teeth. The benefits of Invisalign aligners include:

  • Invisible, people see your teeth instead of a mouthful of metal braces
  • Removable, remove them whenever you need to clean your teeth or eat
  • Made with smooth plastic, so you don’t get mouth irritation caused by metal braces
  • Invisalign treatments work up to 50% faster than other orthodontic techniques

Invisalign can treat most orthodontic problems, including underbites, overbites, and crossbites.

Are you a good candidate for Invisalign?

Invisalign can fix mild to moderate dental misalignments, such as:

  • Overcrowded teeth
  • Rotated teeth
  • Spaces between teeth
  • Teeth misalignment after braces

The team might recommend an alternative treatment if you have major orthodontic and alignment issues. To find out if Invisalign is the best option for you, request a consultation with Access Dental.

What can I expect from an Invisalign treatment?

At Access Dental, your Invisalign treatment begins with the team examining your teeth to determine whether Invisalign is the best treatment method.

Next, they take digital impressions of your teeth. This helps the team to map out a precise treatment plan and allows them to show you what your teeth will look like after treatment. Then they send the plan to the Invisalign lab, where your aligners are made.

Most patients receive 18 to 30 sets of aligners. Every 1 to 2 weeks, or as directed, you switch to a new set of aligners that are slightly adjusted. Each new set moves your teeth a little more; by the end of treatment, your teeth will be in the desired position.

You must wear your aligners for at least 20 hours a day for optimal results. For most patients, Invisalign treatment can take 9 to 15 months.

If you want to align your teeth without unsightly, painful braces, schedule a consultation with Access Dental by calling the office or requesting an appointment online today.

Testimonials

I've had a lot of bad experiences with dentists in the past. Even unpleasant procedures here were incredibly pleasant because of the staff and how mindful they are of patients and their potential discomfort with frequent checks to make sure you're still doing alright.

One of my first appointments was a root canal for a tooth that started decaying way back before covid hit and I was actually smiling on the way out because of just how nice it was in comparison to others I've been to. All of the employees are incredibly polite and the office has a really nice welcoming feel to it.

The front desk was awesome they were caring. They actually cared. Dr Kim was on point and was very professional. He handled my teeth with care with his partner named Nelly. They both worked as a team actually they all do for that I'm giving them the five star. And also they take care of your teeth!!!

Augustus N.

I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Dr. Kim. He is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, and kind. Recently, I had to undergo a procedure that required a lot of patience and a gentle bedside manner, and Dr. Kim guided me through it with incredible skill and empathy. He made me feel comfortable and reassured every step of the way, and I can’t imagine going to anyone else. I highly recommend Dr. Kim to anyone looking for a caring and professional dentist who truly puts his patients first.
