What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a modern alternative to traditional metal braces that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually straighten your teeth. These custom-made aligners are virtually invisible, allowing you to transform your smile discreetly without the noticeable appearance of metal brackets and wires.

The aligners are crafted from SmartTrack® material, an innovative thermoplastic designed specifically for Invisalign treatment. This advanced material provides a comfortable fit while applying consistent, gentle pressure to move your teeth into their ideal positions.

The Benefits of Invisalign Clear Aligners

Choosing Invisalign at Futch Dental offers numerous advantages over traditional orthodontic treatments:

Virtually Invisible

Invisalign aligners are nearly undetectable, allowing you to straighten your teeth without drawing attention to your orthodontic treatment. This makes them ideal for professionals, teens, and anyone who wants to maintain their appearance during treatment.

Removable for Easy Cleaning

Unlike fixed braces, Invisalign aligners can be removed for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. This means no food restrictions and significantly easier maintenance of your oral hygiene throughout your treatment.

More Comfortable

The smooth, BPA-free plastic aligners eliminate the discomfort often associated with metal brackets and wires that can irritate cheeks and gums. Most patients report minimal discomfort as their teeth adjust to each new aligner.

Fewer Office Visits

Invisalign treatment typically requires fewer in-office visits than traditional braces. We’ll provide you with several sets of aligners, and you’ll switch to a new set every 1-2 weeks according to your personalized treatment plan.

Predictable Results

Using advanced 3D computer imaging technology, we can map out your entire treatment plan before you start, allowing you to see a virtual representation of how your teeth will move and what your new smile will look like.

Introducing Invisalign Go for Minor Corrections

For patients with mild crowding or spacing concerns, we’re excited to offer Invisalign Go – a streamlined clear aligner therapy ideal for minor cosmetic corrections.

Invisalign Go is perfect for:

  • Patients who have previously had orthodontic treatment and experienced slight relapse
  • Those with mild crowding of front teeth who have never had orthodontic treatment
  • Patients seeking a quicker solution for minor alignment issues

Invisalign Go treatment typically involves fewer aligners and shorter treatment times than full Invisalign therapy, making it an excellent option for those wanting to enhance their smile efficiently and affordably.

The Invisalign Treatment Process at Futch Dental

1. Complimentary Consultation

Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation to determine if Invisalign is right for you. We’ll discuss your smile goals, examine your teeth, and answer any questions you may have about the treatment process.

2. Custom Treatment Planning

Using advanced digital scanning technology, we’ll create a precise 3D model of your teeth. This allows Dr. Futch to develop your personalized treatment plan and show you a virtual preview of how your smile will transform throughout treatment.

3. Custom Aligner Creation

Based on your treatment plan, a series of custom-made aligners will be created specifically for your teeth. Each aligner is designed to make slight adjustments to tooth position as determined by Dr. Futch.

4. Wearing Your Aligners

You’ll wear each set of aligners for approximately 1-2 weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. As you progress through the series of aligners, your teeth will gradually move into their new positions.

5. Regular Progress Checks

Throughout your treatment, you’ll have periodic check-ups with Dr. Futch to monitor your progress and receive your next sets of aligners. These appointments are typically quick and convenient.

6. Revealing Your New Smile

Once you’ve completed your series of aligners, you’ll reveal your beautiful new smile! To maintain your results, you’ll receive retainers to wear as directed by Dr. Futch.

Is Invisalign Right for You?

Invisalign can effectively treat a wide range of orthodontic issues, including:

  • Crowded teeth
  • Gapped teeth
  • Overbite
  • Underbite
  • Crossbite
  • Open bite

During your consultation, Dr. Futch will determine if you’re a good candidate for Invisalign or Invisalign Go based on your specific dental needs. Most teens and adults with mild to moderate orthodontic issues are excellent candidates for Invisalign treatment.

Caring for Your Invisalign Aligners

Proper care of your aligners is essential for effective treatment:

  • Clean your aligners daily with lukewarm water and a soft toothbrush
  • Remove aligners when eating or drinking anything besides water
  • Store aligners in their protective case when not in use
  • Brush and floss thoroughly before reinserting aligners
  • Wear your aligners for 20-22 hours per day for optimal results

Invisalign vs. Traditional Braces

While both Invisalign and traditional braces effectively straighten teeth, Invisalign offers distinct advantages:

Appearance

  • Invisalign: Nearly invisible clear aligners
  • Traditional Braces: Noticeable metal or ceramic brackets

Comfort

  • Invisalign: Smooth, comfortable plastic with no sharp edges
  • Traditional Braces: Potential irritation from brackets and wires

Removability

  • Invisalign: Easily removable for eating, drinking, and cleaning
  • Traditional Braces: Fixed in place throughout treatment

Food Restrictions

  • Invisalign: No food restrictions
  • Traditional Braces: Must avoid hard, sticky, or chewy foods

Oral Hygiene

  • Invisalign: Brush and floss normally
  • Traditional Braces: Requires special tools and techniques

Office Visits

  • Invisalign: Fewer visits, typically every 6-8 weeks
  • Traditional Braces: More frequent adjustments needed
