Invisalign Treatment

Invisalign has become the orthodontic treatment of choice for many dentists and patients. If you are seeking the benefits of an attractive, symmetrical smile but do not want to have to deal with traditional metal braces, Dr. Sherry Vakilian and the dental team of Dental Solutions of Encinitas can fit you with discreet and comfortable Invisalign trays.

Thereโ€™s no need to wait another day to get straighter teeth and a healthier smile. You can enjoy the benefits of a transformed smile in a few short months. Contact our office today to schedule your consultation.

Crooked or unevenly spaced teeth arenโ€™t just cosmetic issues affecting your smile: it can negatively impact your oral health by putting additional strain on your jaw, shifting your bite, and wear down your teeth. Thankfully, our team at Dental Solutions of Encinitas can resolve these orthodontic issues quickly and subtly with our innovative Invisalign treatment.

How Does Invisalign Work?

New bone grows behind teeth as they move, ensuring that the movements are permanent. Each successive tray is slightly closer in design to your ideal smile. 

  • You will be given a few sets of trays to take home.
  • New trays will need to be switched out every few weeks, depending on Dr. Vakilianโ€™s instructions. We will schedule regular checkups with you to ensure that treatments are moving according to the treatment timeline.
  • Once you have used all of your trays and are 100 percent satisfied with your cosmetic results, a retainer will be made.
  • You will need to wear the retainer every night to ensure that your teeth do not shift out of place.

Invisalign clear braces are designed to address a wide range of orthodontic concerns ranging from crooked teeth, dental crowding, or bite issues. By straightening your teeth, you gain a symmetrical, aesthetically pleasing smile and your overall dental care can also improve. 

A more uniform smile:

  • Stops your jaw from working harder than it needs to
  • Makes dental hygiene more effective
  • Prevents your bite from altering

What Are the Benefits of Invisalign?

Nearly Invisible

Invisalign clear braces are made from transparent plastic material. This means, when worn, the aligner trays are practically invisible.

No Lifestyle Restrictions

Invisalign clear braces can be easily removed when necessary, so there is no disruption to your favorite activities like swimming, singing, or playing sports.

No Dietary Limitations

Because they can be removed before meals, Invisalign clear braces donโ€™t require any dietary restrictions.

Customized and Efficient

By using digital imaging technology, your Invisalign clear braces are designed to meet your unique orthodontic needs, allowing them to correct your smile in half the time of traditional braces.

Higher Comfort

Invisalign trays are more comfortable than traditional metal braces, which rely on metal wires and brackets that have to be periodically tightened.

Most patients who desire a more attractive smile are great candidates for Invisalign treatments. During your consultation and exam, Dr. Vakilian will determine if Invisalign can address your alignment issues. The following conditions may affect your case:

  • If you suffer from severe teeth misalignment, you may require traditional metal braces. 
  • Candidates should also be willing to adhere to the 22-hour compliance rule. 
  • If you are seeking orthodontic treatment for your teen, Invisalign offers special trays that feature a colored button that notifies parents when the trays are not worn for 22 hours per day.

Invisalign Clear Braces vs. Traditional Braces

You can always count on the committed professionals here at Dental Solutions of Encinitas to get you the smile youโ€™ve always wanted, how you want it. We offer both Invisalign clear braces and traditional braces, but here are some of the differences.

Traditional Braces

Traditional braces depend on brackets, bands, and wires to create tension that pulls your teeth into proper alignment. Traditional metal braces often come with strict dietary restrictions. Hard foods can damage brackets while sticky foods can cling to metal wires.

Invisalign Clear Aligners

Invisalign clear braces are far more streamlined, using aligners that rest atop of your teeth to gently apply corrective pressure to specific areas of your mouth. This allows for quicker adjustments as well as some additional benefits. Patients who undergo Invisalign treatments have no such restriction. The aligner trays can be temporarily removed while eating.

One reason our office works with Invisalign is due to the companyโ€™s patented SmartTrack material, which closely hugs the surface of teeth to provide superior orthodontic results and unparalleled comfort. SmartTrack uses thermoplastic polymers and polyurethane resins for the aligners that make them virtually undetectable. That means you can get the orthodontic treatment you need without any of the distractions of traditional braces.

Invisalign clear braces are created using state of the art digital imaging technology that is combined with advanced computer analytics. Not only will this make aligners specifically tailored for your needs, but generate images in real time to show you how the treatment will progress and what the end results will be.
