A straighter smile not only enhances your appearance but also improves your oral health. If you’re considering orthodontic treatment, Invisalign offers a modern, discreet alternative to traditional braces. At Lansdowne Place Dental in Peterborough, we specialize in Invisalign, helping patients achieve beautiful, straight smiles without the hassle of metal brackets and wires.
Invisalign is an innovative orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually move your teeth into their desired positions. These custom-made aligners are virtually invisible, making them an attractive option for both teens and adults who want to straighten their teeth without drawing attention to their orthodontic treatment.
The Invisalign process begins with a consultation at Lansdowne Place Dental, where our experienced team will assess your smile and determine if Invisalign is the right option for you. Here’s what the process looks like:
1. Customized Treatment Plan
Using advanced 3D imaging technology, we’ll create a detailed digital model of your teeth. This allows us to map out a precise treatment plan, showing the step-by-step movements of your teeth and giving you a preview of your final smile.
2. Wearing Your Aligners
You’ll receive a set of custom aligners designed to fit snugly over your teeth. You’ll wear each set of aligners for about two weeks before switching to the next set in the series. Over time, the aligners gently shift your teeth into place according to the treatment plan.
3. Regular Checkups
Throughout your treatment, you’ll visit Lansdowne Place Dental periodically to ensure your teeth are moving as planned. These checkups are typically shorter and less frequent than those required for traditional braces, making Invisalign a convenient option for busy patients.
4. Completion of Treatment
Once your treatment is complete, you’ll receive a custom retainer to help maintain your new smile. The retainer is just as discreet as the aligners, allowing you to keep your teeth in their new position without affecting your appearance.
Invisalign offers numerous benefits that make it a popular choice for orthodontic treatment:
1. Nearly Invisible
One of the biggest advantages of Invisalign is its discreet appearance. The clear aligners are virtually invisible, allowing you to straighten your teeth without anyone noticing. This is particularly appealing for adults and teens who may feel self-conscious about wearing traditional braces.
2. Comfortable to Wear
Invisalign aligners are made from smooth, medical-grade plastic that won’t irritate your gums or cheeks like metal braces can. They are custom-fitted to your teeth, providing a comfortable and snug fit.
3. Removable for Convenience
Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are removable. This means you can take them out to eat, drink, brush, and floss, allowing you to maintain your normal oral hygiene routine and enjoy your favorite foods without restrictions.
4. Fewer Office Visits
With Invisalign, you’ll need fewer office visits compared to traditional braces. Since you change your aligners at home every couple of weeks, you’ll only need to visit our office periodically to check your progress.
5. Effective for a Range of Cases
Invisalign can effectively treat a wide range of orthodontic issues, including overcrowding, gaps between teeth, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. Our team at Lansdowne Place Dental will determine if Invisalign is the best solution for your specific needs.
Many patients at Lansdowne Place Dental have transformed their smiles with Invisalign. Here’s what some of them have to say:
