Subtly Align Your Smile with Invisalign® in Valdosta

Our family-friendly, compassionate Brett Hester, DMD team proudly offers our incredible patients Invisalign to straighten smiles discreetly. Because orthodontic appliances can impact appearance, some patients express a desire for a treatment that does not compromise their facial esthetics, according to the National Library of Medicine (NLM). Invisalign offers a straightforward, effective, and tailored cosmetic and orthodontic solution to a symmetrical (and attractive) smile!

What Is Invisalign, And What Value Does It Bring?

According to the NLM, because Invisalign is more comfortable and esthetically pleasing than traditional fixed orthodontic appliances, it has become increasingly popular among adult patients since it was first introduced by Align Technology around 20 years ago. This clear aligner system is used to correct underbites, overbites, open bites, and crossbites, strategically shift teeth into a more uniform position over time, and involves a series of transparent, removable, and personalized designers.

Ignoring misaligned teeth can result in several problems for your oral health, such as a potentially increased risk of gum disease and cavities due to crooked teeth that are difficult to clean between, jaw strain, and bite problems that may worsen. Compared to traditional braces, Invisalign offers several advantages, such as eliminating the need for wires or brackets and being more convenient.

How Do These Clear Aligners Straighten Smiles?

• Consultation and Digital Scans: To produce a 3D model of your teeth, we start with a thorough consultation and digital scans and impressions of your teeth using our digital X-rays.
• Customized Treatment Plan: A personalized plan shows how your teeth will move and how long treatment will take. Your tailored aligners will be made as soon as your plan is approved.
• Aligner Series: A set of your unique Invisalign clear aligners will be created. The aligners are crafted to fit securely and comfortably over your teeth, and you can take them out easily. The trays are less than one millimeter thick and only need to be changed every one to two weeks and typically worn 20 to 22 hours a day.
• Frequent Check-Ins: Invisalign saves time at the dentist's office because it doesn't require manual tightening. However, routine Invisalign check-ins allow Dr. Hester to ensure your treatment is proceeding according to schedule.

We understand how busy our patients are and how other orthodontic solutions can impact professional appearances. Invisalign in Valdosta, GA, is the convenient and esthetically-pleasing alternative. Call us to learn more!
