The Invisalign Treatment Process
Consultation and Customization
The journey to a straighter smile with Invisalign begins with an initial consultation with Dr. Spencer Grossman at Indian Valley Dental. During this meeting, Dr. Grossman will assess your dental needs and determine if Invisalign is the right option for you. Using advanced 3D imaging technology, he will create a precise digital model of your teeth. This model serves as the foundation for developing a personalized treatment plan that outlines the gradual movement of your teeth. You'll even have the opportunity to see a virtual representation of your future smile. This personalized approach ensures that your aligners are tailored specifically to your unique dental structure and goals.
Receiving and Wearing Your Aligners
Once your custom treatment plan is finalized, your personalized Invisalign aligners will be fabricated. These aligners are designed to fit comfortably over your teeth and are typically worn for 20 to 22 hours a day, only being removed for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. Each set of aligners is worn for about one to two weeks, depending on your treatment plan, before progressing to the next set. As you advance through the series, your teeth will gradually shift into their desired positions. Regular check-ups with Dr. Grossman ensure your treatment is progressing as planned, allowing for any necessary adjustments.

Completion and Retention
After completing the series of aligners, your teeth will have moved to their final positions, revealing your new, straighter smile. To maintain this alignment, Dr. Grossman will provide you with a custom retainer. Wearing a retainer is a crucial step in preserving the results of your Invisalign treatment, as it helps prevent your teeth from shifting back to their original positions. Dr. Grossman will guide you on how often to wear your retainer and provide tips for maintaining its condition. With your new, confident smile, you'll be ready to enjoy all the benefits of a beautifully aligned set of teeth.
The Benefits Of Invisalign
Discreet Appearance
One of the standout benefits of Invisalign is its nearly invisible appearance. The clear aligners are made from a transparent material, allowing you to undergo orthodontic treatment without the noticeable metal brackets and wires associated with traditional braces. This discreet approach is particularly appealing to adults and teens who wish to enhance their smile without drawing attention to their treatment.
Comfort and Convenience
Invisalign aligners are crafted from smooth, comfortable plastic that won't irritate your cheeks or gums like metal braces can. Additionally, they are removable, offering the flexibility to eat your favorite foods without restrictions and maintain your oral hygiene routine with ease. Simply remove the aligners when eating or brushing, and enjoy the freedom they provide.
Predictable and Efficient Results
The Invisalign system utilizes advanced 3D computer imaging technology to create a detailed treatment plan from start to finish. This allows you to see a virtual representation of your teeth's movement throughout the process. The precision of the treatment plan ensures predictable results, often in a shorter timeframe than traditional braces, depending on individual cases.
