Is Invisalign Treatment Right for Me?
Getting orthodontic treatment, whether you're an adult or teen, can be a significant decision in your life and it's normal to question if it's right for you. That's why our Los Gatos Invisalign dentist and his friendly team are here to answer any questions you may have and give you the necessary information to make confident oral health decisions. Over the years, we've had the privilege of providing clear braces to countless patients, and some of the most common benefits they mention include:
- Improved Comfort: Invisalign treatment consists of a series of clear aligners that fit over your teeth and, over time, shift them to their desired positions. As opposed to traditional orthodontic options, the smooth plastic of clear braces means that they won't rub against the inside of your cheeks and cause soreness.
- Easy to Clean: Because your clear aligners are removable, it makes them easy to clean and maintain. Using lukewarm water and antibacterial soap, you can reach every part of your aligners without using specialized tools or instruments.
- Boosting Self-Confidence: Traditional braces, although effective, change the appearance of your teeth during treatment and can leave the wearer feeling self-conscious. One of the greatest benefits of Invisalign treatment is that the clear, transparent nature of the aligners makes it easy to wear them throughout the day without drawing unwanted attention to your smile.
Our Invisalign Treatment Process
At Camden Dental Center, we've spent years improving our Invisalign treatment process to be as efficient and comfortable for our patients as possible. When you come in for your consultation appointment, Dr. Photopoulos will ask you various questions about your smile. Have you always struggled with dental misalignment? Are you hesitant to get traditional metal braces? Have you had braces in the past, but your teeth have shifted since then? From there, our team will conduct an oral exam that looks at the overall condition of your teeth, gums, and jawbones.
Suppose we notice anything problematic for you receiving treatment, like tooth decay. In that case, our dentist may recommend a course of action that addresses the problem before we move forward with clear braces. Once we've determined that you're an ideal candidate for Invisalign treatment, we'll take detailed impressions of your smile. We'll then send your impressions to a trusted local lab, where they'll create your set of aligners. Our team can also provide you a Vivera™ retainer, which uses the same technology as Invisalign treatment to help keep your smile straight and aligned.
Invisalign Treatment FAQs
At Camden Dental Center, we know how frustrating it can be to have questions about dental services that go unanswered. That's why our dental team is here to answer any that you may have. Some of the most frequently asked questions about our clear braces include:
What happens if I lose one of my clear aligners?
Although our practice stresses the importance of keeping track of your aligners, we understand that mistakes happen. Teens, especially, are prone to misplacing their aligners. That's why we recommend that you call us as soon as possible once you lose an aligner so we can order a replacement without missing a beat in your treatment process.
Will Invisalign treatment affect my speech?
Although you may notice that your speech is different when you first begin wearing your aligners, once you're comfortable with them, your speech will return to normal.
Can I receive clear aligners if I've had previously had braces?
Many patients who receive Invisalign treatment have had braces in the past. Whether your teeth have shifted out of place over time or you didn't complete your treatment, our clear braces can help you get your desired results.
