Invisalign® uses the same technology as traditional braces (othodontics), however Invisalign® is truly invisible.  You can straighten your teeth without the braces look.

Here’s how it works at Atlanta Dental Spa.  We make impressions of your mouth and send them to Invisalign Corporation.  Together, the Atlanta Dental Spa and Invisalign teams design a computer graphic (ClinCheck) of your teeth to show how they will straighten.  You get to review the ClinCheck of your “Before” and “After” smile before you invest in the invisible braces.  This premier technology offers you the ability to see your new smile before you decide to start treatment.

A clear alternative:  Invisalign straightens your teeth invisibly and conveniently.   The aligners are clear and undetectable to others around you.  Also, you can remove the aligners for short periods of time (for instance, to eat, of if you wish to have them out for a big event).  It’s nice to have the convenience to be able to remove your braces from time to time.  Your Atlanta Dental Spa doctor will advise you on how to properly wear the aligners.

Treatment that doesn’t take long:  A typical Invisalign case takes about a year from start to finish.  Instead of having to visit the orthodontist every 2 weeks, you may only have to visit Atlanta Dental Spa every 6 to 8 weeks for progress check-up visits.  At each visit, you will receive your next set of aligners.  Approximately every two weeks, you will change to a new set of aligners.

Invisible and comfortable: Clear aligners make Invisalign treatment truly invisible.  People won’t know you are straightening your teeth unless you tell them.  Patients who had traditional braces in the past say their experience with Invisalign is much more comfortable than braces.

Benefits of Invisalign®:

Aesthetic and health benefits:  Crowded teeth create hard-to-clean areas in your mouth.  Over time, these areas will become red, swollen, and infected.  Oftentimes, these changes go unnoticed. By the time you notice something is wrong, you have periodontal disease.  Invisalign straightens teeth, eliminating these hard-to-clean places.  Invisalign will make your smile beautiful and healthy at the same time.

Healthier Gums:  Clinical studies have shown that gum health can improve with the use of Invisalign.  Properly aligned teeth help to keep the gums around the teeth healthy.  Also, because the aligners are removable, you can brush and floss normally while undergoing your orthodontic treatment. 

Easier Cleanings:  Straightened teeth lead to healthier gums.  Healthy gums means simpler hygiene visits.  Even during treatment, since you don’t have brackets and wires, your professional cleanings and your home care will be easy to do.

Bite Correction: 

Decreased Risk of Trauma and Abnormal Wear:  Invisalign technology allows us to properly align your bite.  Just like car alignment problems will wear out your tires and damage your car, bite alignment problems will cause your teeth to chip, crack, and wear down too quickly.  If your bite or jaw is out of alignment, you may experience headaches, sore jaw muscles, clicking jaw joints, ringing in your ears, or a jaw that locks opened or closed.  Invisalign treatment may help to alleviate some or all of these problems while you straighten your teeth toward a more beautiful smile.

Improved Chewing and Speech:  In rare instances, speech problems may result from poorly positioned teeth and jaws.  Correction of your bite through Invisalign may help improve chewing efficiency and speech.
