Straighten Your Smile with Invisalign at Advanced Dental Services

If you’re looking for a way to achieve a straighter smile without the hassle and visibility of traditional metal braces, Invisalign might be the perfect solution for you. At Advanced Dental Services in Longview, WA, Dr. Chad L. Kleven, DDS, and our experienced team offer Invisalign as a discreet and effective orthodontic treatment option. Invisalign aligners are custom-made to fit your teeth and gradually shift them into their ideal positions, all while being nearly invisible and highly comfortable.

What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are made of smooth, transparent plastic, making them almost invisible when worn. These aligners are custom-designed to fit snugly over your teeth and are changed every one to two weeks to gradually guide your teeth into their desired alignment.

Benefits of Invisalign

• Invisible Appearance: Invisalign aligners are clear and virtually unnoticeable, allowing you to straighten your teeth without drawing attention to your orthodontic treatment.
• Comfortable Fit: Made from smooth, BPA-free plastic, Invisalign aligners are gentle on your gums and cheeks, reducing the discomfort often associated with traditional braces.
• Removable: The aligners can be easily removed for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing, allowing you to maintain your normal oral hygiene routine and enjoy your favorite foods without restrictions.
• Predictable Results: With the help of advanced 3D imaging technology, Invisalign treatment is precisely planned, and you can see a digital preview of your expected results before starting.
• Fewer Office Visits: Invisalign requires fewer in-office visits compared to traditional braces, as there are no wires or brackets to adjust.

Who Can Benefit from Invisalign?

Invisalign is a versatile treatment that can address a wide range of orthodontic issues, including:

• Crowded Teeth: If your teeth overlap or are too close together, Invisalign can create the space needed for proper alignment.
• Gapped Teeth: Invisalign can close gaps between teeth, giving you a more uniform and aesthetically pleasing smile.
• Overbite, Underbite, and Crossbite: Invisalign can correct various bite issues, improving both function and appearance.
• Relapse After Braces: If your teeth have shifted after previous orthodontic treatment, Invisalign can help realign them.

The Invisalign Treatment Process

At Advanced Dental Services, we follow a thorough and personalized approach to ensure your Invisalign treatment is as effective and comfortable as possible. Here’s what you can expect:

1. Initial Consultation and Evaluation

Your Invisalign journey starts with a detailed consultation:

• Comprehensive Examination: Dr. Kleven will evaluate your teeth, bite, and overall oral health to determine if Invisalign is the right option for you.
• Digital Scanning: We use advanced 3D imaging technology to take precise digital impressions of your teeth, eliminating the need for messy traditional molds.

2. Custom Treatment Plan

Based on your digital scans:

• Personalized Treatment Plan: Dr. Kleven will create a customized treatment plan that outlines the gradual movement of your teeth throughout the process. You’ll be able to see a digital preview of your new smile before you even begin treatment.
• Aligner Fabrication: Your custom aligners are then created using state-of-the-art technology to ensure a perfect fit and optimal results.

3. Wearing Your Invisalign Aligners

Once your aligners are ready:

• Starting Treatment: You’ll begin wearing your first set of aligners, typically for 20-22 hours a day. You’ll switch to a new set of aligners approximately every one to two weeks, as directed by Dr. Kleven.
• Regular Check-Ups: Periodic check-ups with Dr. Kleven will ensure that your treatment is progressing smoothly, and any necessary adjustments can be made.

4. Completion and Retention

After completing your series of aligners:

• Final Results: Once your teeth have reached their desired positions, you’ll receive a custom retainer to maintain your new smile and prevent any shifting.
• Ongoing Care: Regular dental visits and maintaining good oral hygiene will help keep your smile straight and healthy for years to come.
