Total Health Dental Care stands for improved health through dentistry. And we provide Invisalign® with that in mind.
Our dental office is pleased to offer Invisalign® to patients in the Oakland and Berkeley area, and surrounding Bay Area communities. Invisalign® can be an excellent treatment option for patients who are dissatisfied with their smiles because of tooth misalignment. The Invisalign® system straightens the teeth using a series of clear, removable, plastic aligners – instead of metal braces. Patients can therefore enjoy all the benefits of obtaining a beautiful, balanced smile without going through the hassle of traditional orthodontics. To learn more about your candidacy for Invisalign® treatment, contact our office today.
Before Invisalign® After Invisalign®
What Is Invisalign®?
The Invisalign® system uses a series of plastic aligners to gradually and gently straighten the teeth. The trays are removable, so patients can still enjoy all of their favorite foods, as well as brush and floss as they normally would. The trays are also virtually invisible, so patients can wear them to social occasions with confidence. When worn properly, the Invisalign® trays are quite effective, making Invisalign® an extremely discreet way to achieve a harmonious, beautiful smile.
The Invisalign® Process
To begin Invisalign® treatment, you will visit our Oakland or Berkeley office, where we will take pictures and molds of your teeth and mouth. We will send these to the Invisalign® laboratory, where lab technicians will use them, with the assistance of special computer software, to custom-craft your first set of aligners. They will also plan your entire treatment from start to finish so that each set of aligners moves the teeth a step closer to their proper positions. The lab will send your first set of aligners to our office, where you will pick them up and receive detailed instructions on how to wear the trays. The lab will send each successive set of trays directly to your residence; simply change out the trays as they arrive. Patients who wear Invisalign® aligners as directed (removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss) may complete treatment in as little as 18 months.
Benefits of Invisalign®
The health and aesthetic benefits of Invisalign® are numerous. Patients can expect to enjoy:
- Increased self confidence – a primary benefit of complete dental treatment
- Improved oral functioning – a cornerstone of dental health
- Discretion – an excellent option for adult patients seeking orthodontic treatment
- Compatibility with teeth whitening and other cosmetic dentistry treatments
