Folsom Invisalign

Invisalign in Folsom, CA is an attractive alternative to traditional metal braces. It is a series of clear, custom-fit removable mouth trays that apply a controlled amount of force to your teeth to slowly straighten them. The system provides the same beautiful results as traditional braces, but they are virtually invisible. Because Invisalign trays are removable, they can be taken out while eating, drinking, brushing and flossing.

The Invisalign system begins in the dentist or orthodontist’s office with taking molds to design your trays. Patients switch trays every two weeks to gradually shift the teeth. The system requires a visit to the office every six weeks so that treatment can be monitored. Once treatment is complete, a patient will likely be given a retainer to maintain the smile.

The cost of Invisalign varies according to the complexity of the case. Insurance policies generally cover Invisalign to the same extent that they cover traditional braces.

What are Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners are custom-made, transparent trays designed to straighten teeth while going unnoticed. They offer an alternative to traditional braces, using a series of aligners to gradually move teeth into the desired position. Made from medical-grade plastic, they are virtually invisible, providing a cosmetically appealing option for orthodontic treatment.

How Do I Prepare?
Preparation for clear aligners involves a consultation with your dentist to assess your dental health and determine if aligners are suitable for you. Your dentist will take digital scans or impressions of your teeth to create a personalized treatment plan. It's essential to maintain good oral hygiene and address any dental issues, such as cavities or gum disease, before starting treatment.

What Can I Expect?
During treatment, you'll receive new aligners every few weeks, each set designed to move your teeth slightly. You'll wear the aligners for 20-22 hours a day, removing them only for eating and cleaning. Regular check-ups with our team will allow us to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments.

How Long Will Treatment Take?
The duration of clear aligner treatment depends on the severity of your orthodontic issues. On average, treatment can take anywhere from six months to two years. Our team will give you a personalized timeline based on your specific needs and goals.

What Are the Results?
Clear aligners can effectively straighten teeth, correct minor bite issues, and close gaps, resulting in a healthier, more attractive smile. The results are typically permanent, provided you follow your post-treatment instructions. Many patients report improved confidence and oral health following their treatment.

Do I Need to See an Orthodontist?
While orthodontists specialize in straightening teeth and correcting bite issues, many general dentists are certified to provide clear aligner treatments. Our dentist has undergone additional training to ensure they can effectively plan and monitor your treatment. For most mild to moderate cases, a certified general dentist can offer the same high-quality care and results as an orthodontist.
