Invisalgin®

invisalign

Teeth straightening with clear, nearly invisible braces.

Invisalign straightens your teeth using a custom-made series of aligners created for you and only you. These aligner trays are made of smooth, comfortable and virtually invisible plastic that you wear over your teeth. They gradually and gently shift your teeth into place. There are no metal brackets to attach and no wires to tighten. You just pop in a new set of aligners approximately every two weeks, until your treatment is complete. You’ll achieve a great smile with little interference to your daily life.

The treatment process

You may be somewhat familiar with how the Invisalign treatment works, but we’d like to take you through each step of the treatment process, from consultation to a confident smile. Whether you’re considering treatment for yourself or someone else, knowing more about the entire process can help you be more confident in your decision to choose Invisalign and enjoy a better smile every day.

Schedule an Invisalign® consultation with Trusted Dental.

During your free Invisalign consultation, you and Dr. Nonna Volfson will discuss your case in detail to determine if you’re a good candidate for Invisalign. Invisalign now addresses many cases, from simple to more complex. During your consultation at Trusted Dental, Dr. Volfson will determine if Invisalign is right for you.

A customized treatment plan is created for you.

We will take digital X-rays, pictures and impressions of your teeth, which Invisalign will use to create a digital 3-D image of them. From these images, Dr. Volfson will map out a precise treatment plan, including the exact movements of your teeth, and tell you the approximate length of treatment. Using the same technology your doctor will be able to show you a virtual representation of how your teeth will move with each stage of treatment. While every case is unique to each patient, treatment typically takes approximately a year for adults. For teens, the length of treatments is comparable to that of traditional (metal) braces.

Receive your custom aligners based on your treatment plan.

Based on your individual treatment plan, a series of custom-made, clear aligners is then created specifically for you. These aligners are made of a smooth, comfortable, BPA-free plastic that won’t irritate your cheeks and gums like traditional metal braces often do. Simply wear them throughout the day, and remove them when you eat or to brush and floss your teeth. As you wear each set of aligners, your teeth gently and gradually begin to shift into place. And because they’re virtually invisible, most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them.

Wear a new aligner every two weeks.

Approximately every two weeks, you will begin wearing a new set of aligners, advancing you to the next stage of your treatment. To monitor your progress, you will also have occasional checkups at Trusted Dental, usually only every six weeks or so. For best results and a timely outcome, you should wear your aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day, throughout your entire treatment. At every stage, you will be able to see how much closer you are to having the smile that reflects the real you.

Reveal your new smile and keep it looking great.

Congratulations! This is the time when you celebrate. You have reached the end of treatment and you will be smiling more than ever.

Once your orthodontic treatment is complete, protect the beautiful new smile you have invested in. Ask Dr. Volfson if you will need retainers to keep your teeth in their new position and lock in your beautiful smile.

Treatable orthodontics cases

From mild cases of crooked teeth and protruding teeth to much more difficult dental problems involving serious malocclusion, overbite, or underbite, Invisalign effectively corrects a wide variety of dental problems. Whether your teeth are widely gapped, overly crowded or somewhere in between, Invisalign has affordable teeth straightening options for you.

Vivera® Retainers

It took time, effort, and investment to create your confident and beautiful smile. To make sure it lasts, consider Vivera® retainers from the makers of Invisalign®. Whether you’ve used Invisalign® or traditional wire braces, you can benefit from Vivera® retainers.

Importance of retainers

Studies show that without retainers straight teeth can gradually shift back towards their initial position. This is a common occurrence with all orthodontic treatment but is one that can easily be overcome. Wearing Vivera® retainers after traditional braces or Invisalign® treatment means you are keeping your teeth in their new position and protecting your smile and investment.

Why choose Vivera® Retainers?

Vivera® retainers are custom made for you with the same state-of-the-art technology used to make Invisalign® aligners. Because the retainers are custom made from an impression or scan of your teeth, you will benefit from a precise fit and therefore more comfortable fit. Vivera®’s proprietary material is 30% stronger*, which helps maintain your teeth in the desired position. It also reduces the risk of the retainer cracking or breaking, which means a more durable retainer that you can count on.

How to get your Vivera® Retainers

If you are about to finish Invisalign® treatment, tell Dr. Nonna Volfson that you want to discuss Vivera® retainers.
