Invisalign Clear Aligners
Are you living with crooked teeth? Maybe you have gaps or spaces between your teeth that cause you to feel self-conscious? Did you know that clear aligners with Invisalign can alleviate
these concerns without braces?
Dr. Kevin Lee is a certified Invisalign dentist in Brea, CA. He can create a customized treatment plan using clear aligners that will allow you to achieve straighter teeth and a beautiful smile with efficiency and discretion.
How Does Invisalign Work?
Instead of relying on brackets and wires to move your teeth, Invisalign uses clear plastic, BPA-free aligners to align your teeth gradually. Invisalign works well for most patients and can correct these concerns:
- Teeth that overlap
- Crooked teeth
- Crossbites
- Open bites
- Overbites
- Gaps between teeth
- Underbites
Dr. Lee uses 3-D imaging and digital impressions of your teeth to create a personalized treatment plan to align your teeth. Then Invisalign designs and creates a series of aligners based on Dr. Lee’s specifications that will straighten your teeth over time. Most patients achieve their straighter smile in about 12 to 18 months; however, depending on your needs, it could be less time.
Compliance Is the Key to Success with Invisalign in Brea
Invisalign makes straightening teeth simple and comfortable; however, there is a level of compliance required from the patient to make treatment successful and finish promptly.
You must wear your aligners for at least 20 to 22 hours daily and change them every one to three weeks according to your treatment plan. Removable aligners are a benefit because you can take them out for meals and brushing; however, it’s essential to wear your aligners as often as possible to keep your treatment progressing according to your dentist's plan. This way you can finish your smile on time.
The Invisalign Advantage
Clear aligners offer several benefits that patients appreciate:
- Ease: Aligners are removable, so brushing, flossing, and eating is easy.
- Confidence: Since aligners are invisible, no one will know you’re straightening your teeth, and you can smile confidently.
- Freedom: You won’t have any dietary restrictions with Invisalign since you can remove your aligners.
- Hygiene: Brushing and flossing is a breeze when you can remove your clear aligners instead of cleaning around brackets and wires.
If you’re considering straightening your teeth with Invisalign, the first step is to schedule an evaluation with Dr. Lee. He’ll spend that time performing a thorough examination and taking photos and x-rays of your teeth to ensure that Invisalign is the proper treatment to achieve your smile goals.
If you determine that invisible braces aren't right for you, Dr. Lee will suggest some alternative treatment options.
