What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign is an extremely popular alternative to traditional braces for both teens and adults. What truly sets it apart is its use of clear, transparent aligners rather than the obvious metal wires and brackets.

Your Invisalign aligners will be custom molded to perfectly fit your unique bite. A personalized series of transparent plastic trays will gradually straighten your teeth over time, fixing simple to complex issues including generally crooked teeth, overbites, underbites, and gaps.

Invisalign aligners are designed to be barely noticeable to others when worn. Best of all, these trays can be removed while you eat, floss, or brush your teeth. No more fussing with metal brackets popping off or trapping food.

These trays work by gradually moving your teeth into place with each new tray. Dr. Paez will work closely with you to develop a treatment plan designed for your unique circumstances and to provide you with your desired smile. Though treatment times vary from patient to patient, many fixes are achieved in as little as 6-12 months – up to twice as fast as traditional metal braces.

What Invisalign Can Help Correct

Like with traditional braces, Invisalign as offered at our Las Vegas practice is used to help correct a number of cosmetic issues concerning the teeth’s alignment and positioning in the mouth. These near-invisible aligners can be used as an attractive alternative to braces for addressing mild to moderate instances of the following:

• Generally crooked teeth
• The upper row of teeth extending beyond the lower row of teeth (an overbite)
• The lower row of teeth extending beyond the upper row of teeth (an underbite)
• A lateral misalignment of the dental arches causing the upper teeth to sit within the lower teeth rather than outside (a crossbite)
• An opening between the upper and lower teeth despite the jaw being fully closed (an open bite)
• Crowding, overlapping, or twisting of the teeth caused by limited space within the jaw
• Gaps or open spaces between two individual teeth, such as between the two front teeth

Many of the above issues can make taking proper care of your teeth difficult (such as flossing) and may lead to more serious dental issues later in life. By correcting these concerns, our patients not only experience a confidence-boosting smile they are proud to show, but also overall more healthy teeth.

What Are The Benefits of Invisalign?

There are many reasons why Invisalign continues to be the most popular treatment in Las Vegas and everywhere for straighter teeth among adults and teenagers. Some of the top benefits of Invisalign include:

• The clear Invisalign trays are hardly noticeable to others. You can go about your day smiling, talking, and laughing without anybody noticing you are wearing any aligners at all.
• Your aligners can be removed when eating or brushing and flossing your teeth. With Invisalign, simply remove the aligners and put them back in once you are done eating or caring for your teeth.
• Less time is needed at your dentist’s office. You will only need to come by once every 4-6 weeks in order to ensure everything is moving along as planned.
• Invisalign aligners are designed to provide a more comfortable fit without gum irritation. Each aligner tray will be custom-molded to your teeth while helping to gradually move them into place.
• Invisalign can fix simple to complex orthodontic issues up to two times faster than traditional braces. Many of our patients are smiling confidently in as little as 6-12 months.

The Invisalign Process At Nevada Dental Esthetics in Las Vegas

Invisalign is known for straightening teeth in just three simple steps:

• Step one: It starts with an in-person consultation to determine your candidacy. During this visit, Dr. Paez will take a digital scan of your teeth and create a customized treatment plan just for you.
• Step two: You’ll come back to our office to pick up your first pair of aligners. After that, plan on returning for regular check-ins to monitor your progress and pick up your new trays.
• Step three: After you’ve transformed your smile, you’ll want to protect your results by wearing a retainer.

How Long Does Invisalign Take To Straighten Teeth?

Invisalign tends to work faster than traditional braces. The average Invisalign treatment time is 12 to 18 months. However, you may start to see some improvement in a matter of weeks.

How To Take Care Of Your Invisalign Aligners

Invisalign aligners are relatively low maintenance. Brush them with a toothbrush and toothpaste and rinse in lukewarm water, not hot, to avoid warping. Store them in your case when not in use. If something happens to a tray, contact our office to keep your treatment on track.

Are There Any Foods I Need To Avoid During Treatment?

You don’t have to give up any of your favorite foods during Invisalign treatment. The aligners can be easily removed for drinking and eating. The only real concern is staining—so brush after every meal.

Is Invisalign Painful?

Invisalign aligners are made from a patented material called SmartTrack. It is designed to apply gentle force for a more comfortable experience. You may feel some discomfort and pressure when you switch to a new set of trays. However, your Invisalign treatment shouldn’t be painful. Each aligner fits snugly around your teeth and is trimmed to your gumline to prevent irritation. Plus, you won’t have to deal with scratchy brackets, exposed wires, or emergency visits that can come with metal braces.

Is Invisalign Safe?

Invisalign is an FDA-approved treatment backed by decades of research and the data from millions of smiles. The material is tested for latex, BPA, epoxy, and other potentially harmful chemicals.

Who Is An Ideal Candidate?

Invisalign is recommended for teens and adults in Las Vegas who want straighter teeth without traditional braces. The ideal patient should also:

• Be in good overall health without untreated periodontal disease or cavities
• Already have fully developed teeth
• Not smoke
• Wear aligners at least 23 hours each day

How Much Does Invisalign Cost?

The cost of Invisalign depends on the number of aligners and case complexity. The price is often comparable to traditional braces.
