Invisalign®
What Is Invisalign?
At Androscoggin Valley Dental we proudly offer Invisalign®, an advanced orthodontic treatment that utilizes clear aligners to discreetly straighten teeth. With Invisalign®, you can achieve a beautifully aligned smile without the need for traditional braces. Custom-made aligners gently shift your teeth into the desired positions, providing a comfortable and virtually invisible treatment experience. Our experienced team at Androscoggin Valley Dental will guide you through the Invisalign® process, ensuring personalized care and exceptional results for a straighter, healthier smile.
Aesthetics
Invisalign® aligners are virtually invisible, while traditional braces use noticeable metal brackets and wires.
Removability
Invisalign® aligners can be removed for maintenance and cleaning, allowing for better oral hygiene and enjoying a wider variety of foods.
Comfort
Invisalign® aligners are made of smooth plastic, minimizing discomfort and irritation compared to the metal components of traditional braces.
Convenience
Invisalign® treatment typically requires fewer visits to the dentist for adjustments compared to the periodic tightening of traditional braces.
ABOUT INVISALIGN® PROCEDURE
- Consultation: The process begins with a thorough examination and discussion of your dental health and treatment goals.
- Implant Placement: Titanium posts are surgically inserted into the jawbone to serve as the artificial tooth roots.
- Healing Period: A period of several months allows for bone integration, where the implants fuse with the jawbone.
- Abutment Placement: Once the implants have integrated, abutments are placed to connect the implants with the artificial teeth.
- Restoration: Custom-made artificial teeth, such as crowns or dentures, are securely attached to the abutments, completing the dental implant procedure.
