Would you love a straighter smile but don’t have the time to deal with the inconvenience or look of metal braces? At Smiles Art Dentistry, we understand and are proud to offer Invisalign® clear aligners—a discreet, convenient alternative that effectively addresses many of the same alignment issues as traditional braces without the visual impact or lifestyle compromises.
Orthodontic Issues Addressed by Invisalign
Invisalign effectively corrects many common alignment problems:
- Crowded teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Overbite
- Underbite
- Crossbite
- Open bite
Traditional braces may still provide the best results for certain complex orthodontic cases.
Steps for Getting Invisalign
- Your first step is a comprehensive consultation where Dr. Abed evaluates your dental health and alignment issues. Using advanced scanning technology, we create a precise digital model of your teeth without messy traditional impressions.
- Dr. Abed develops your customized treatment plan, showing you how your teeth will progress with each set of aligners. Once the Invisalign lab fabricates your custom aligners, you'll receive several sets to begin treatment.
- For fastest results, wear Invisalign 20–22 hours daily. Remove them only for meals, drinking anything besides water, and oral hygiene. You'll switch to a new set of aligners every 1–2 weeks as prescribed.
- During routine check-in appointments every 6–8 weeks, Dr. Abed monitors your progress and provides new aligners.
