What can Invisalign do for me?

Invisalign aligners or repositioners are similar to whitening trays, except they are made from strong, durable thermoplastic material. They apply controlled pressure to your teeth, gradually moving them to their healthy, straighter positions.

Invisalign can correct the following dental issues.

  • Misaligned or crooked teeth
  • Uneven gaps between teeth
  • Overlapping teeth
  • Malocclusion, including overbites, underbites, crossbites, etc.

Invisalign is a doctor-prescribed orthodontic system. So, you can’t get it online or from other sources. You can only get Invisalign from a licensed provider like Dr. Barbat.

How does Invisalign work?

It begins with a consultation with our dentist. We’d love to learn about what you don’t like about your smile and what you’d like to see changed. Dr. Barbat uses digital scans to determine your eligibility for Invisalign. We’ll use 3D technology to devise your personalized treatment plan if eligible. Amazingly, we’ll help you see how your straightened smile will look even before treatment starts!

Our Invisalign lab will craft your aligners based on your treatment plan. You’ll always wear your Invisalign aligners except when eating or cleaning your teeth. You can remove them during important occasions, but ensure you wear them for at least 20-22 hours daily.

Although timelines vary, most patients achieve their desired results within 9-24 months. Make sure to follow Dr. Barbat’s instructions and wear your aligners consistently to keep your treatment on track. Once you finish treatment, we’ll prescribe a retainer to keep your new smile intact.

What are the benefits of Invisalign treatment?

Invisalign is designed to fit your life. After all, it’s your teeth we want to move, not your life. Here are the many benefits of Invisalign treatment.

  • Discreetness: Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible, so you’ll straighten your smile without anyone noticing it. Invisalign’s discreetness appeals to teens, adults, and anyone self-conscious about obtrusive metal wires and brackets.
  • Removable convenience: You can remove your aligners at will, allowing you to eat all your favorite foods without limitations. It also means you can brush and floss your teeth without problems.
  • Comfort: There is no metal to cause abrasions during treatment. The aligners are made from smooth, flexible plastic that’s gentle on your gums, cheeks, and teeth. The treatment is generally comfortable, except for mild tightness when moving from one set to another.
  • Fewer visits: You only need to visit us every 6-8 weeks. Better yet, the visits are simple and quick. There are no wires or brackets to straighten—we only check the progress of your treatment.
  • Personalized treatment: Invisalign isn’t a one-size-fits-all treatment. Dr. Barbat customizes your treatment to suit your unique needs.
