What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign is an advanced orthodontic system that straightens your teeth using a series of clear, removable aligners instead of traditional metal braces. These aligners are custom-made to gradually shift your teeth into the desired position — comfortably, discreetly, and without the hassle of wires and brackets.
Invisalign can correct a wide range of issues, including:
- Crowded teeth
- Gaps or spacing
- Overbite, underbite, and crossbite
- Mild to moderate tooth misalignment
The Invisalign Process with Dr. Boller
1. Digital iTero Scan:
We begin with a quick, non-invasive digital scan using our iTero scanner. No messy impressions needed. The iTero system creates a precise 3D model of your teeth in just minutes and even shows a preview of your potential results with Invisalign’s Outcome Simulator.
2. Custom Treatment Plan:
Dr. Boller will map out a personalized treatment plan using the digital scan. You’ll know exactly how your teeth will move over time and how long your treatment will take.
3. Your Clear Aligners:
You’ll receive a series of clear aligners designed just for you. Each set is worn for about one to two weeks, gradually guiding your teeth into their ideal position.
4. Regular Check-Ins:
You’ll visit our office every few weeks so Dr. Boller can monitor your progress and provide the next sets of aligners. These visits are quick and convenient.
5. Your Perfect Smile:
Once treatment is complete, we’ll provide retainers to help maintain your beautiful, straight smile.
Health Benefits of Invisalign
In addition to giving you a beautiful, confident smile, Invisalign offers important oral health benefits:
- Prevents Gum Disease: Crowded or crooked teeth can trap food and plaque, increasing your risk for gum disease. Straighter teeth are easier to clean and floss, reducing inflammation and periodontal problems.
- Improves Oral Hygiene: Since aligners are removable, you can brush and floss like normal — no need to work around brackets or wires.
- Reduces Risk of Tooth Decay: Properly aligned teeth eliminate tight, hard-to-reach spaces that can harbor cavity-causing bacteria.
- Protects Your Bite & Jaw: Misaligned teeth can cause uneven wear, jaw strain, and even TMJ issues. Invisalign helps create a healthy, balanced bite.
- Supports Long-Term Dental Health: Straightening your teeth now can help avoid more serious dental complications in the future, such as tooth loss or enamel damage.
