Invisalign® in Allen & McKinney, TX

When you hear the word “orthodontics,” what comes to mind? Probably a young teenager with traditional braces. There are indeed many orthodontic patients who fit that description. However, there now exists an increasingly popular alternative to braces: Invisalign® clear aligners. With Invisalign, a straight smile is possible with a nearly invisible orthodontic solution.

How does Invisalign work?

Invisalign uses a series of clear, custom-made aligner trays that gradually straighten your teeth. There are no archwires and brackets and none of the restrictions that come with metal braces. Invisalign treatment is a great solution for patients of all ages looking for an invisible method to improve their smiles. Before getting your aligners, your Allen and McKinney, TX orthodontists, Dr. Ghosh and Dr. Lofgren of Creekview & McKinney Orthodontics, will use special 3D computer technology to map out your treatment plan. This includes deciding which teeth will need to move and where they will need to move to give you the ideal smile.

From this information, your aligners are created. The aligners straighten your smile through the placement of controlled force on the teeth. Invisalign aligners gently and continuously move your natural teeth in small increments. They are designed to fit closely to your teeth and are contoured around the gums to reduce friction and irritation. This close fit makes for an extremely comfortable feel. Most patients forget they are even wearing their aligners.

When you visit our office for your checkups (which are less frequent than with traditional braces), we will be able to see the changes in your smile. Invisalign aligners are typically worn for a few weeks before being replaced with the next set in your treatment plan. To achieve the results you want with Invisalign, it’s important to wear your removable aligners for 20-22 hours each day.
