Invisalign is a modern, discreet orthodontic treatment that uses clear aligners to straighten your teeth. Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, comfortable, and removable, allowing you to maintain a natural look throughout your treatment. At Division Street Dental Group in Palmdale, we offer Invisalign as an effective solution for patients who want to achieve a straighter smile without the hassle and visibility of traditional braces.
Invisalign works by using a series of custom-made, clear aligners that gradually shift your teeth into the desired position. Here’s how the process works:
Your dentist will evaluate your smile and determine if Invisalign is the right option for you. Impressions of your teeth will be taken, and advanced 3D imaging technology will be used to create a personalized treatment plan.
Based on your treatment plan, a series of clear aligners will be created specifically for you. Each aligner is designed to apply gentle pressure to your teeth, gradually shifting them into the correct position over time.
You’ll wear each set of aligners for about 20-22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, drink, and brush your teeth. Every few weeks, you’ll switch to a new set of aligners that continue the process of aligning your teeth.
Throughout your treatment, you’ll visit Division Street Dental Group periodically to monitor your progress. We’ll ensure your treatment is moving along as planned and make adjustments if needed.
Once your treatment is complete, you’ll have a beautifully straight smile. Your dentist will provide you with retainers to help maintain your results.
