Straighten Teeth With Invisalign

You can straighten your teeth without metal braces. Invisalign uses a series of invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners that no one can tell you’re wearing. Not only are the aligners invisible, but they are also removable, so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment, plus brushing and flossing are less of a hassle. The aligners are comfortable and have no metal to cause mouth abrasions during treatment. Invisalign also allows you to view your own virtual treatment plan when you start, so you can see how your teeth are expected to look when your treatment is complete.

How Is Invisalign Performed?

During your consultation, our dentist in Oakland, CA, will examine your teeth and gums to determine if you’re a good candidate for Invisalign. If so, we’ll take x-rays and impressions of your teeth, which we will use to create digital 3D images. We will use these images to create a treatment plan that maps out the exact movements of your teeth. Once we determine the proper movements, we will use Invisalign’s proprietary software to create a series of aligner trays. The aligners will look similar to mouth guards and will be made out of smooth, clear plastic. Every two weeks, you will switch to a new set of aligners, which will gradually move your teeth to their final position.

Is Invisalign the Right Treatment For Me?

Invisalign is a great treatment option for many patients with orthodontic problems. Invisalign is a great option for patients who have mild to moderate orthodontic issues. Invisalign treatment is also a great option for patients who want a faster orthodontic treatment with the convenience of taking clear aligners out of their mouths during meals.

Does Invisalign Work?

Yes! Over 5 million people worldwide have been treated with Invisalign. Invisalign treatment provides a discreet and comfortable alternative to traditional metal braces and wires. Invisalign treatment involves using a series of clear, customized aligners to straighten your teeth over time. 

Is Invisalign Comfortable?

Invisalign aligners are made of smooth, clear plastic that barely even feels noticeable in your mouth. There are no metal wires or brackets to poke your cheeks or gums, and your aligners are removable, so you can take them out to eat, drink, brush, and floss, as well as for special occasions such as dates and weddings.

How Long Does Invisalign Take?

The length of your treatment depends on how much work is needed. Every smile is different, so Invisalign treatment times can vary. Some patients may complete treatment in just a few months, and others may spend up to a year in treatment. Our dentist in Oakland, CA, will work with you to create a treatment plan that fits your lifestyle, needs, and budget.
