Straighten Your Teeth Comfortably and Confidently with Invisalign Clear Aligners
It’s rare to see someone naturally gifted with perfectly aligned teeth. Many smiles are riddled with misalignments, gaps, and other orthodontic issues. The good news is that you can achieve a perfect, flawless smile without metal braces. Jepsen, Murphy & Associates Dental uses Invisalign treatment to straighten teeth in Westminster, Colorado, and the surrounding locations. For almost the same cost as traditional braces, Invisalign achieves your orthodontic goals comfortably, discreetly, and conveniently.
What issues can Invisalign help with?
Although Invisalign perfects your smile with style, it doesn’t mean it only corrects mild issues. While it has limitations, Invisalign can address numerous orthodontic problems.
Some include:
- Gapped teeth
- Misaligned or crooked teeth
- Overbites and overjets
- Underbites
- Crossbites
- Open bites
- Overlapping or overcrowded teeth
No treatment is suitable for every patient. You must schedule a consultation with an Invisalign dentist to determine your eligibility for the treatment. We’ll examine your teeth, jawbone, and overall oral health to establish if you are a good candidate for Invisalign.
How does Invisalign work?
Traditional braces use a system of metal appliances to straighten your teeth. Brackets are attached to your teeth and then connected with wires, which apply pressure to move your teeth to the desired positions. Invisalign applies the same principle but uses a different system. Instead of metal appliances, Invisalign perfects your smile with transparent, customized removable aligners. The aligners apply controlled pressure to your teeth to move them to a straighter, healthier position over time.
Your treatment starts with a detailed digital scan of your teeth, capturing every contour and nuance of your dental structure. We then use advanced 3D technology to map out your treatment, predicting when and how each tooth will move to perfection. This predictive modeling ensures that each aligner moves your teeth in a controlled and efficient manner to achieve predictable outcomes.
The Invisalign lab will create your aligners based on your treatment plan. Once you receive the aligners, you’ll wear them almost full-time, only removing them before meals and when cleaning your teeth. You’ll also wear your aligners in progression, switching to a new set every 10-14 days. Invisalign straightens your teeth with speed, so it won’t take long before you experience noticeable results.
What are the advantages of Invisalign?
When you opt for Invisalign, you can be sure you are making one of the best decisions in life. This revolutionary teeth straightening system offers numerous benefits.
Some include:
- Discreetness: The aligners are transparent, allowing for “invisible” treatment. Unlike metal braces, the treatment is discreet and doesn’t draw unwarranted attention.
- Comfort: The aligners are made from smooth and gentle thermoplastic, which is comfortable on your teeth and gums. Invisalign ensures no discomfort from wires or sharp edges irritating your gums.
- Convenience: The removable aligners allow you to clean your teeth and eat your favorite foods without limitations.
- Fewer dental visits: Since there are no wires and brackets to adjust, you don’t need frequent appointments with an Invisalign dentist. You should only see us every 6-8 weeks to monitor your treatment progress.
How long does Invisalign take?
No two patients are the same, so timelines vary. On average, Invisalign takes 12-18 months to correct your smile. However, some cases take fewer or more months, depending on the complexity of the treatment.Â
