If you are looking to straighten your smile and get back to looking your best everyday, Invisalign may be the best option for you.
Do you need orthodontics? Don’t want to deal with traditional bracket-and-wire braces? Invisalign clear aligners may be the perfect alternative for you. Using a series of custom plastic aligners, we offer Invisalign in Metairie, LA to help discreetly straighten your teeth. Invisalign clear aligners look like transparent retainers, and they fit snugly over your teeth. They are easy to remove, allowing you to eat your favorite foods and maintain your normal dental hygiene routine. Above all, you’ll be able to achieve a healthy smile without the discomfort of traditional braces. Your friends and family may not notice the aligners, but they’ll certainly take note of the results!
Invisalign can provide a lot of benefits to your smile beyond the aesthetic ones. If your teeth are crooked, it’s easier for bacterial plaque from food to build up between them. This can harden into tartar, causing cavities and leading to gingivitis, the first stage of gum disease.
Crooked teeth can also cause TMJ syndrome and jaw pain, as well as bite issues and teeth grinding. Straight teeth make it easier to brush and floss regularly, further improving your oral health. You’ll see better, easier results from your oral hygiene routine. Additionally, well-aligned teeth improve how your teeth fit together, resolving functional problems associated with a bad bite (malocclusion). Overall, Invisalign treatment from our experienced dentists in Metairie, LA will improve the function and health of your smile, restoring natural smile aesthetics and boosting your confidence!
Our experienced Metairie Invisalign dentists carefully plan and monitor your treatment to deliver a straighter, healthier smile. We accept most major dental insurance plans and offer flexible financing options to help make treatment affordable.
Because Invisalign is provided by the same team that manages your routine dental care, we can evaluate your complete oral health before treatment. Your custom clear aligners are worn 20–22 hours a day and removed for eating, brushing, and flossing. Each new set gently moves your teeth closer to their ideal position.
Your Invisalign treatment begins with a consultation and complete dental evaluation. We’ll review your health history, medications, oral health, bite, and tooth alignment before creating precise digital impressions for your custom treatment plan.
Once your aligners are ready, we’ll check their fit and explain how to wear, clean, and change them properly. Following these instructions and wearing your aligners as directed are essential for keeping treatment on track and achieving the best possible results.
While the patient can remove Invisalign® trays when necessary, the patient will want to keep them in as much as possible. The longer the patient does not wear the trays for, the longer the entire process will take. Patients need to remove the aligner trays when eating and to brush the teeth.
Patients can also remove the aligner trays to play in a sports game, give a presentation, go on a date, or while taking a photo. It is important to at least rinse the mouth after eating to keep food from getting caught in the teeth.
Since we do not need to adjust Invisalign® aligners at our office as one might need to adjust braces, patients do not need to make as many checkup appointments. In fact, by customizing the aligner trays, we do not need to have the patient come in for regular orthodontic checkups.
The patient will be able to continue through each aligner tray and follow a schedule with no surprises. By following the schedule, the patient’s teeth will continue to move into the proper position without pain.
The duration of Invisalign treatment with Pearl Dental Group in Metairie, LA varies based on the complexity of the case. The average treatment time is around 6 months. Limited Invisalign cases can be done in as little as 5 weeks with comprehensive cases taking longer.
Invisalign aligners should be worn for 20 to 22 hours per day, only being removed for
eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. Aligners are typically changed out to a new set after one week of use.
Invisalign is designed to be more comfortable than traditional braces. While some patients may experience temporary discomfort or pressure when transitioning to a new set of aligners, it is generally mild.
