Straighten Your Teeth with Invisalign at Lafayette Dental Group

Orthodontic treatment has traditionally relied on brackets and metal wires to shift teeth accurately, but Invisalign offers a modern, comfortable alternative. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are removable, allowing you to brush and floss normally. The procedure is quick, non-invasive, and highly effective for many patients.

Who Should Get Invisalign?

Invisalign is a great option for teens, adults, and parents seeking a discreet and effective orthodontic solution. These transparent aligners are designed to correct:

• Gaps between teeth
• Overbite, underbite, open bite, and crossbite
• Overcrowded or misaligned teeth

Whether you’ve been delaying orthodontic treatment or are looking for a more convenient alternative to metal braces, Invisalign might be the perfect solution for you. After a comprehensive examination and digital X-rays, our team at Lafayette Dental Group will determine if Invisalign is the right choice for your smile.

The Invisalign Treatment Process

If Invisalign is deemed the ideal treatment for you, our process involves:

1. Comprehensive Evaluation: We conduct a thorough examination, including X-rays and 3D imaging, to assess your orthodontic needs.
2. Customized Treatment Plan: Using advanced 3D modeling, we design a personalized treatment plan that outlines the alignment process and timeline.
3. Aligner Creation: Your X-rays, 3D models, and photos are sent to the Invisalign lab, where your custom aligners are crafted.
4. Wearing Aligners: For optimal results, wear your aligners for 20–22 hours daily, removing them only to eat, brush, and floss.
5. Monitoring Progress: Regular check-ins ensure your teeth are aligning as planned, with adjustments made as needed.

Benefits of Invisalign Over Traditional Braces

• Discreet Appearance: The clear aligners are virtually invisible, making them ideal for teens and adults alike.
• Removable Convenience: Enjoy your favorite foods without restrictions, and maintain your oral hygiene routine with ease.
• Comfortable Fit: Made from smooth, BPA-free plastic, Invisalign aligners are designed for comfort and minimize irritation.
• Effective Results: Invisalign effectively addresses a wide range of orthodontic issues, delivering noticeable improvements over time.
   

Post-Treatment Care For Invisalign Users

After completing your Invisalign treatment, wearing a retainer is crucial to maintain your new smile. Retainers prevent teeth from shifting back to their original positions.

At Lafayette Dental Group, we’ll recommend the best retainer type based on your needs. In some cases, if minor shifting occurs, short-term aligner use may be required to correct it. Our goal is to help you maintain your perfect smile for years to come.
