A symmetrical smile and balanced bite can improve your confidence and your oral health. Unfortunately, thinking about the discomfort and aesthetic impact of traditional braces, many patients delay or altogether avoid getting the alignment help they need. Fortunately, Invisalign® offers a modern, discreet alternative.
With clear, removable aligners, you can straighten your teeth comfortably and conveniently. At Clarendon Family Dentistry, Dr. Brigid B. Mooney and our team are dedicated to providing personalized Invisalign treatment that fits your lifestyle, aesthetic, and alignment goals.
How Invisalign Works
Invisalign is an orthodontic system that uses a series of custom-made, clear aligners to gradually shift teeth into proper alignment. Because the aligners are removable, you can eat, brush, and floss without the restrictions that come with traditional braces. Each set of aligners is worn for about one to two weeks before moving on to the next in the series. Small adjustments from each set accumulate over time to noticeably improve smile aesthetics and bite integrity.
The Invisalign process at Clarendon Family Dentistry begins with a consultation. At this initial point, Dr. Mooney examines and takes digital scans of your teeth. This allows us to develop a precise and tailored treatment plan, as well as to preview your expected results.
Benefits of Choosing Invisalign
One of the biggest advantages of Invisalign is its nearly invisible appearance. Most people won’t notice you’re wearing aligners, making it a popular choice for adults and teens alike. Comfort is another key benefit, as the smooth plastic material eliminates the irritation often caused by metal brackets and wires used for traditional braces.
Invisalign also offers flexibility. You can remove your aligners for meals, special occasions, and oral hygiene, making it possible to return to your all-natural look while maintaining your treatment routine.
Is Invisalign Right for You?
Invisalign can address a variety of concerns, including crowding, spacing, and mild to moderate bite issues. During your consultation, Dr. Mooney will determine whether Invisalign is the best option for your specific needs.
