Invisalign can give you a beautiful smile and support your long-term oral health. You can find Invisalign in Foster City, Redwood Shores, Belmont, and the surrounding areas at Peninsula Dental Associates.
If you have crooked or crowded teeth, malocclusion, or bite issues, Invisalign may be the right choice for excellent results and a comfortable treatment experience.
The team at Peninsula Dental Associates uses modern dental techniques to determine whether Invisalign is right for you. Digital panoramic X-rays create high-resolution views of your teeth and jaw, allowing us to see the extent of your orthodontic issues and decide whether Invisalign can help.
If Invisalign is right for you, we’ll carefully plan your treatment using the latest technology. We use an iTero intraoral scanner to create a 3D map of your mouth and determine what changes are needed to improve your smile’s appearance, function, and health.
You’ll receive a complete series of clear aligners that will guide your teeth into the proper positions. In most cases, patients wear each set of aligners for two weeks before switching to the next. Throughout your treatment, the aligners apply steady pressure to guide your teeth without the need for braces.
In cases where Invisalign in Foster City, CA, is the right treatment option, you can get the same quality results that you would from traditional braces. However, the treatment experience is greatly improved.
The overall course of treatment is generally shorter than with braces. Invisalign treatment can take as little as six months, although most patients require around one year. Traditional braces can require as much as two or even three years of treatment.
Invisalign clear aligners are generally more comfortable. Traditional braces have brackets that can irritate and even cut the inside of your mouth. Clear aligners are made of smooth plastic that closely conforms to your smile, avoiding these issues.
Clear aligners are also removable for eating or brushing your teeth. While you need to keep them on for at least 22 hours each day, this flexibility makes living with Invisalign much easier than dealing with braces.
While Invisalign can’t treat all orthodontic issues, it can resolve the majority of cases involving crooked teeth, crowding, and malocclusion. You’ll have an appealing smile and enjoy barely noticeable treatment due to the clear plastic aligners. Your Invisalign treatment with Peninsula Dental Associates also improves yourlong-term oral health.
