Invisalign is the trusted leader in clear orthodontic treatment for adults and teens. Instead of using metal wires and brackets to move your teeth, Invisalign straightens your smile with removable, translucent aligners. Our Warminster Invisalign patients enjoy more flexibility and comfort than they could have ever imagined. Dr. Francis Dolan offers them right here in our family practice.
How Does Invisalign Work?
Invisalign works by creating a virtual replica of your oral anatomy using 3D scans of your teeth and bite. From there, we can digitally map out the movement of each individual tooth, displaying the progress of your smile's alignment at various stages of treatment. In fact, you can even get a virtual preview of how your smile will look after Invisalign.
You'll replace your orthodontic alignment trays every two weeks with the next in the series. It’s like having a pair of 3D-printed aligners that are slightly different between each set. Your smile straightens right in front of your eyes, becoming more aligned with each pair of appliances.
About every other month, you’ll visit with Dr. Dolan so he can assess your progress. As long as things are progressing normally, we'll send you home with the next sets of trays to continue your treatment. We may need to make a few adjustments or add "buttons" to specific teeth, which are small tooth-colored extensions that provide a surface for your trays to grab onto.
Is Invisalign Right For Me?
Before you begin any type of orthodontic treatment, you should have your teeth screened for active tooth decay (cavities) and gum disease. Dr. Dolan will also examine how your teeth bite together, as well as other orofacial and jaw structures that may come into play during your tooth movement.
Invisalign is ideal for minor crowding or crooked teeth, as well as small gaps between teeth and some overbites. With the passage of time, the innovative technology behind Invisalign makes correcting more moderate to severe cases easier than ever before.
