Invisalign Treatment for Teens and Adults in Campbell
As part of our comprehensive orthodontic treatments, Embrace Smiles Orthodontics also offers Invisalign treatment. Invisalign aligners are the perfect choice for individuals looking for a discreet treatment to straighten their smile. The Invisalign system uses a series of custom-made aligners to straighten teeth. Apart from being discreet, Invisalign aligners are more comfortable as they can be easily removed as needed to brush, floss, and eat. Moreover, you need fewer visits to the orthodontist, and the treatment can help you achieve results in a shorter treatment time.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment that is a useful alternative to metal braces for correcting teeth misalignment and bite issues. The clear, removable aligners gradually shift the teeth into their desired position.
How Invisalign Procedure Works at Embrace Smiles Orthodontics?
The Invisalign treatment process starts with your free initial consultation. If Dr. Chong determines you are a suitable candidate for clear aligner treatment, our team will take a 3D scan of your teeth with our Itero Element Scanner in the comforts of our office. Dr Chong will review your scan and plan your tooth movements accordingly. Your Invisalign® clear aligners are custom-made for you at the Invisalign headquarters based on the 3D scan taken for you.
Dr Chong will deliver the aligners to you within 4-6 weeks (expedite option available*) of your scan. Depending on your treatment, your initial series of aligners will be accompanied by a series of refinement aligners in order to achieve the most ideal result. Each aligner is designed to deliver appropriate forces to each tooth as mapped out by Dr Chong.
As you change your aligners every 1 week under the supervision of Dr Chong, your teeth gradually move into position. Since the aligners are engineered to provide specific and precise tooth movements, it is important to wear them at least 20 hours a day.
After completion of your orthodontic treatment, Dr Chong will take another digital scan of your teeth and deliver your retainers. Wearing your retainers for a lifetime is recommended to ensure a beautiful smile for a lifetime! Ask us about our unique one-of-a-kind Embrace Clear Retainer Program©, so you never have to worry about losing or replacing your retainers!
Conditions Invisalign Can Correct
Invisalign can be used to correct a wide variety of dental problems, from overly crowded teeth to gaps between the teeth and more serious issues. Here are some conditions that can be resolved with Invisalign.
Crowded Teeth: If there is little room in your jaw for teeth to fit, overcrowding can occur. Overly crowded teeth can be harder to clean, leading to gum disease, plaque formation, and other serious issues.
Overbite: An overbite can lead to gum irritation, chipped teeth, and pain in your jaw joints.
Underbite: When the lower teeth protrude past the upper teeth, it can prevent the normal function of the front teeth and lead to tooth wear.
Gaps: Gaps between teeth can occur due to abnormal growth of the jawbone of a missing tooth. These gaps between teeth trap food and increase the risk of gum diseases and tooth decay.
Open Bite: Open space between the upper and lower teeth can cause an open bite. This can lead to painful chewing, jaw-joint pain & more oral problems.
Crossbite: When some of the upper teeth bite on the inside of the lower teeth, it causes a crossbite. This can lead to bone loss, gum disease, or wear on the teeth.
