Invisalign Braces

Overview

A beautiful smile is one of the greatest assets a person can have. However, not everyone is blessed with straight and perfectly aligned teeth. In the past, traditional metal braces were the only option for people looking to straighten their teeth. However, advancements in dental technology have given us a better alternative – Invisalign. Invisalign is a clear aligner system that is becoming increasingly popular. At Legacy Dental in Omaha, NE, we offer Invisalign to all our patients looking for an easy and relatively painless cosmetic fix for their smiles. If you find yourself dreading the idea of traditional braces, then Invisalign may be right for you!

We are now offering 5 sets of retainers and teeth whitening included in the cost of Invisalign or SureSmile!

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment that can improve the teeth both cosmetically and functionally. It does this by utilizing a series of custom-made clear plastic aligners to gradually shift teeth into their desired position. Unlike traditional braces, which use metal brackets and wires, Invisalign is designed to be virtually invisible, making it an appealing option for both teens and adults alike. The process begins with a consultation, where a dental professional will take digital impressions of your teeth using the advanced iTero Element scanner. This state-of-the-art technology allows for precise mapping and 3D imaging, ensuring that each aligner fits perfectly and facilitates a more effective treatment plan. With the iTero scanner, patients can see a digital representation of their expected results, providing a glimpse into their new smile before even beginning treatment.

How Does Invisalign Work?

Invisalign consists of a series of custom-made, clear aligners for your teeth. These aligners are made of transparent plastic material and are virtually invisible. Over time, these aligners will shift your teeth into the desired position. You must wear each set of aligners for two weeks before moving on to the next set of aligners. During this time, you will have to follow directions given by your dentist and attend regular check-ups to track your progress.

What Are the Benefits of Invisalign?

There are many benefits to Invisalign, some of which are the following:

Discreet: Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are almost invisible and will not significantly impact your appearance.

Removable: Invisalign aligners are removable, so you can remove them when eating or brushing your teeth.

No restrictions: Unlike traditional braces, there are no food restrictions with Invisalign.

Virtual 3D representation: Another advantage of Invisalign is that you can see a virtual 3D model of your teeth before starting the treatment. The 3D model will give you an idea of what your teeth will look like after the treatment.

What is the Process?

Consultation: The first step in the Invisalign process is to schedule a consultation with your dentist. During this consultation, your dentist will evaluate your teeth and determine if Invisalign suits you.

X-rays, photos and scans: If Invisalign is right for you, your dentist will take x-rays and scan your teeth to create your custom aligners.

Getting Your Aligners: You will be provided with a series of aligners and required to wear them for 20-22 hours each day. The treatment duration will vary from person to person and will depend on the severity of your case.

Who Can Get Invisalign?

Invisalign cannot resolve all cases of misalignment of the teeth, especially if your case may be more severe. If this is the case, Dr. Lauren Semerad and Dr. Maggie Larsen may suggest a more suitable fixture, like traditional braces. We can offer professional insight into your particular circumstances and requirements.
