Are your teeth crooked or is your bite misaligned? If so, you may be considering orthodontic treatment to achieve a straighter smile. While traditional braces have been the go-to option for many years, there is now a more discreet and comfortable alternative available – Invisalign. At Grandview Dental, we are proud to offer Invisalign treatment in Salt Lake City, providing our patients with a personalized and effective solution for achieving a beautiful smile.

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a revolutionary orthodontic treatment that uses a series of invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners to straighten teeth. These aligners are custom-made for each patient using advanced 3-D computer imaging technology. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, making them a popular choice for individuals who want to improve their smile without drawing attention to their orthodontic treatment.

Advantages of Invisalign

There are several advantages to choosing Invisalign over traditional braces. One of the main benefits is the comfort it offers. Invisalign aligners are made of smooth plastic, eliminating the need for metal wires and brackets that can cause discomfort and mouth sores. This makes Invisalign a more comfortable option, allowing you to go about your daily activities without any irritation.

Another advantage of Invisalign is its removability. Unlike traditional braces that are fixed onto the teeth, Invisalign aligners can be easily removed when necessary. This means you can continue to enjoy your favorite foods and drinks without any restrictions. Additionally, brushing and flossing are a breeze with Invisalign since you can simply remove the aligners to maintain your oral hygiene routine.

The Invisalign Process

The Invisalign process begins with a digital 3D model of your teeth. Using the iTero digital scanner, we will create a detailed and accurate representation of your teeth without the need for radiation. This digital model allows us to plan your treatment and visualize the desired outcome.

Once the treatment plan is finalized, your customized Invisalign aligners will be created. You will receive a series of aligners, each to be worn for one to two weeks. As you progress through the series, your teeth will gradually shift into their desired position. Dr. McLachlan will monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments along the way.

Treatment Progress and Duration

The duration of Invisalign treatment can vary depending on the complexity of your case. On average, treatment time ranges from 6 to 18 months. During this time, you will visit Dr. McLachlan approximately every 4 to 6 weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned. The number of aligners worn during treatment also varies, with most patients wearing between 20 and 30 aligners. However, this can vary based on individual needs.
