Correcting Bite Problems with Invisalign

Invisalign is a versatile, state-of-the-art orthodontic solution that addresses a wide range of misalignment issues. The treatment relies on a series of clear aligners that straighten your smile over time. Unlike traditional braces, one of the most appealing aspects of Invisalign is that they're made of a durable, translucent material which makes your treatment discreet. This helps you wear them in public places, like work or school, without feeling self-conscious. In addition, you won't have to change your diet since you can remove them any time you eat or drink.

Some of the bite problems that Invisalign can correct include the following:

Overcrowding: Dental overcrowding occurs when there's not enough space for teeth to align correctly in your mouth. Overcrowding can result in severe tooth decay and an increased likelihood of gum disease.

Overbites: An overbite is when your upper teeth stick out too far beyond your lower teeth. This dental issue can lead to jaw pain and TMD.

Underbites: This dental problem is the inverse of an overbite and refers to when your lower teeth wholly or partially cover your upper teeth. Just like overbites, an underbite can result in jaw pain and TMD.

Crossbites: This common dental issue occurs when your top and bottom teeth are misaligned horizontally when biting down. A crossbite can lead to stress on your smile and bone erosion.

While these problems may cause serious negative impacts on your oral health, our Invisalign treatment is a convenient and simple solution that will safeguard the health of your smile.

Is Invisalign Right for Me?

When you visit our practice for the first time, our dentist will work to determine if Invisalign is right for you. Due to requirements like a 22-hour minimum daily wear time and a 6-18 month commitment for best results, our practice recommends Invisalign to adults and responsible teens. Our dentists will outline how frequently you must wear your aligners and how to properly care for them at home. We'll also answer your questions so that you have a clear understanding of what's required for your Invisalign treatment to succeed.

Our Efficient Treatment Process

Once our dentists determine that you're an ideal candidate, our team will begin the process of crafting your clear aligners. We'll take detailed impressions of your smile and send them out to a trusted local lab, where they'll be crafted to comfortably contour to your teeth and gums. Once your aligners are ready, we'll call you back for a fitting, where we'll make any necessary adjustments. As your treatment progresses, you'll use your clear aligners in their prescribed order sequence to progressively straighten your teeth as time goes on.

Invisalign FAQs

Invisalign can be a significant decision for your oral health and overall life. As such, it's normal to have questions about our West Hollywood Invisalign treatment. Some of the most frequently asked questions about Invisalign include:

How do I care for my aligners at home?

It's vital that you care for your aligners regularly and correctly. Some instructions include thoroughly rinsing your aligners in cold water after use, soaking your aligners using cleansing crystals, and storing them in their case to prevent misplacing or losing them altogether.

How do I keep my smile straight following treatment?

At 3D Dental Group, we provide our patients with Vivera® retainers. Made with the same material as Invisalign clear aligners, Vivera helps prevent your teeth from shifting out of place following treatment. Like Invisalign, Vivera retainers are comfortable and primarily worn while you sleep.

What should I do if I lose an aligner?

Although our office stresses the importance of keeping track of your aligners, mistakes can happen. If you misplace an aligner, you should use your previous aligner as a placeholder and contact us as quickly as possible to determine if you need a replacement.

If I've had braces, can I still get Invisalign?

Yes. We regularly treat patients with Invisalign who have had traditional braces in the past but whose teeth have shifted.
