Invisalign®

Invisalign is the high-tech, clear alternative to conventional braces. At Smile Wellness Clinic, you get the straight, healthy, confident smile you want without the need for metal brackets or wires. Invisalign aligners are virtually undetectable, so hardly anyone will know that you’re straightening your teeth! Drs. Manisha and Sachin are proud to offer this orthodontic revolution.

The Process of Getting Invisalign Treatment

At your first consultation with us, Dr. Manisha or Dr. Sachin will discuss your orthodontic needs and determine if Invisalign is the right treatment for you. If it is, we will take X-rays, Photos, and a 3D scan of your teeth. These will be used to make a customized treatment plan by the Doctors. Once the software plan (CleanCheck) is finalized as per our guidance, Invisalign can fabricate a sequence of custom aligners by utilizing the most-modern 3D computer innovations.

As you replace each Invisalign tray with the next, you will see your teeth move gradually week after week. Once they reach their optimal position, your new smile will be complete. You change out these trays every one to two weeks; we’ll make sure we keep an eye on the progress by meeting with you periodically. Wearing your aligners the full 20 to 22 hours a day will help move your teeth into position right on schedule. Once your teeth have been corrected, we will fit you with a retainer. You’ll have that sparkling smile you’ve always wanted.

Benefits of Invisalign
  • Removable Invisalign trays allow you to drink and eat anything you feel like and continue to keep up optimal oral hygiene through flossing and brushing normally.
  • Clear, state-of-the-art aligners cause Invisalign therapy to be practically invisible.
  • Comfortable Invisalign aligners are exchanged regularly. You may not even remember you’re improving your smile. And, you will not spend as much time in the orthodontist’s office having appointments.
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN INVISALIGN & BRACES

Unlike traditional braces, smooth plastic Invisalign aligners don't have metal components that can irritate your mouth. Because they’re removed when you eat, you won't have to watch what you eat like you would when wearing braces – bring on the popcorn and peanuts. In fact, the aligners must be removed for eating and for drinking anything other than water. To prevent staining, you’ll need to clean your teeth before putting the aligners back on after each time you eat. Don’t worry, brushing and flossing are much easier than traditional braces since you don’t have to work around brackets and wires. For most patients, the benefits of Invisalign outweigh the small adjustments to your routine.
