Invisalign®

Invisalign® is a way for you to straighten your teeth or correct bite issues without the need for traditional metal braces. Using clear, removable teeth aligners, Invisalign® can improve problems with teeth crowding and misalignment in a treatment process that is less visible and often said to be more comfortable than other techniques. With Invisalign®, Dr. Robert Rioseco can improve the look of your teeth without anyone else even knowing you are undergoing treatment.

Benefits of Invisalign®

Crooked and misaligned teeth, as well as over-, under- and cross-bite issues can be improved with state-of-the-art Invisalign® treatment. The benefits of this innovative procedure are many, including:

  • Clear aligners that are virtually undetectable by others
  • Less of a need to return to the dentist for maintenance and adjustments
  • More comfortable than metal braces
  • The aligners are removable for daily teeth cleaning, as well as eating and drinking
  • Often takes less time to achieve desirable results when compared to traditional braces

During your initial consultation, Dr. Rioseco will evaluate your needs and help you determine if Invisalign® is the best option for you.

The Invisalign® Treatment Process

To begin the Invisalign® treatment process, an impression will be created from your teeth to ensure that the aligners will fit accurately and precisely. Once the Invisalign® clear aligners have been made, you will be provided with a set of aligner trays designed to progressively move your teeth into a more desirable position. Each tray is slightly modified from the one before it, and once you have worn one tray for two weeks, you will replace it with the next in the set. Although the aligners should be worn throughout the day, they are removable for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing.

The entire Invisalign® treatment process usually takes about 9 to 15 months for the best results.
