Making a Custom Treatment Plan

Choosing the Right Option for You
There are several Invisalign alternatives, including traditional braces or mail-order orthodontics. Some of the differences are discussed below.
Traditional Braces | “Should I get Invisalign or braces?” This is one of the classic questions we get, regarding orthodontic adjustments, and for good reason. Both Invisalign braces and traditional wire braces are effective.
They do, however, have some very different pros and cons. In the question of Invisalign aligners vs. braces, the Invisalign system’s benefits include:
- Comfort. The Invisalign aligners involve no wire, no brackets, and no regular wire-tightening.
- Speed. The Invisalign system has been shown to be generally faster than traditional braces.
- Flexibility. Because Invisalign trays can be removed, you can still eat what you want and participate in your favorite activities.
- Invisibility. The Invisalign system earned its name for a very good reason. These alignment trays are clear, and very difficult to see—even when you’re looking for them.
- Ease. When moving to the next stage of your treatment, you don’t need to come into the office for an adjustment. Simply remove your current aligner and replace it with the next in the series.
Mail-Order Orthodontics | When comparing companies such Smile Direct Club vs. Invisalign clear aligners, the mail-order option is certainly cheaper and may seem like a great deal. However, faster and cheaper is not always better. Invisalign reviews are much more positive regarding health-related results, and Invisalign results are consistently better than mail-order aligners.
Having an Invisalign trained doctor oversee your treatment, make adjustments to the process when needed, and regularly check that your teeth are healthy as they move can prevent pain, tooth damage, and unsatisfactory end results.
Custom-Fitting Your Aligners
After working through your options and choosing Invisalign clear aligners, the next step is to take a scan of your mouth. Our office uses the latest in dental technology to get the most accurate results possible.
From this scan, we get a precision-perfect digital model of your teeth. We can use this model to decide exactly where your teeth need to be, and what the most ideal path will be to get them there.
That plan decides the shape of your aligners.
The Invisalign Process
When you receive your aligners, the first set of the series will be the most closely fitted to your current smile, with some minor adjustments to push your teeth in a new direction. Once those aligners fit your teeth perfectly, you’ll move onto the next set, then continue this process until the final set helps move your teeth into that perfect straight smile.
After treatment, you’ll be given an Invisalign retainer to make sure your teeth remain in their new position.
