Invisalign® in Park Ridge, IL
Dreaming of a straighter, more confident smile without dealing with the look and feel of traditional metal braces? At Park Ridge Smile Center, we offer Invisalign®, a revolutionary orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear, custom-made aligners to gradually shift your teeth into ideal alignment. This virtually invisible and comfortable alternative to braces allows you to achieve the smile you've always wanted without compromising your appearance or lifestyle.
What is Invisalign®?
Invisalign® is a modern orthodontic system that utilizes advanced 3D computer-imaging technology to create a series of clear plastic aligners tailored specifically to your teeth. Each set of aligners is precisely calibrated to make small, incremental adjustments to your tooth alignment. As you progress through the series, typically wearing each set for one to two weeks, your teeth will gradually move into the desired final position.
The Benefits of Invisalign® at Park Ridge Smile Center
Invisalign®'s clear plastic aligners are discreet and practically invisible, allowing you to smile confidently throughout your orthodontic treatment with us at Park Ridge Smile Center. Unlike metal braces with wires and brackets that can be irritating to the mouth, Invisalign® aligners are smooth and custom-fitted for maximum comfort. The aligners are made from a biocompatible, medical-grade plastic.
You can easily remove your Invisalign® aligners for eating, drinking, brushing and flossing, making it easier to maintain optimal oral hygiene and continue enjoying your favorite foods. With fewer scheduled appointments compared to traditional braces, Invisalign® fits seamlessly into your busy lifestyle.
The 3D treatment planning allows us to map out your entire treatment process from start to finish, providing you with a clear vision of your final smile!
The Invisalign® Treatment Process
Your orthodontic treatment will begin with a comprehensive consultation. Our experienced dental team will evaluate your smile, discuss your orthodontic goals, and determine if Invisalign® is the right treatment option for you. Dr. Thomas will use our state-of-the-art iTero® digital scanner to create precise 3D images of your teeth. This eliminates the need for messy traditional impressions. Using this digital model, we will develop a customized treatment plan that maps out the precise movements of your teeth throughout the Invisalign® process. You'll even get to preview your results!
Based on your personalized treatment plan, a series of custom-made Invisalign® aligners will be fabricated specifically for you. You will wear each set of aligners for approximately one to two weeks, as directed by our team, removing them only for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. You will have periodic check-up appointments with us to monitor your progress and ensure your treatment is proceeding as planned.
Once your teeth have reached their final alignment, you will typically wear a retainer to help maintain your beautiful new smile.
