Invisalign® Clear Teeth Straightening in Santa Clara, CA

What is Invisalign®?

Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment that uses clear, removable aligners to straighten your teeth over time. These aligners are custom-made for your mouth and are designed to be worn throughout the day, gradually shifting your teeth into alignment without the need for metal braces.

With Invisalign, you can remove the aligners to eat, brush, and floss, making it a more convenient and comfortable option compared to traditional braces. Whether you want to straighten crowded teeth, close gaps, or correct bite issues like overbites and underbites, Invisalign offers a discreet solution for achieving a straighter smile.

Why Choose Invisalign® Over Traditional Braces?

Invisalign offers several advantages over traditional metal braces, making it an ideal choice for adults and teens who want to straighten their teeth discreetly. Here are the key benefits of Invisalign:

• Virtually Invisible: The clear aligners are hardly noticeable, allowing you to straighten your teeth without the look of metal braces.
• Removable: Unlike braces, you can remove Invisalign aligners when eating, drinking, or brushing your teeth, making it easier to maintain oral hygiene and enjoy your favorite foods.
• Comfortable: Invisalign aligners are made from smooth, BPA-free plastic, eliminating the risk of sharp wires and brackets causing irritation.
• Fewer Office Visits: With no need for adjustments or tightening, you’ll have fewer visits to the dentist compared to traditional braces.
• Effective for a Variety of Issues: Invisalign can correct a wide range of dental issues, including crowding, gaps, overbites, underbites, and crossbites.

How Invisalign® Works

Invisalign treatment is simple, effective, and tailored to your specific needs. Here’s how the Invisalign process works:

1. Planning Your Treatment

Dr. Jayne begins by taking digital X-rays, photos, and impressions of your teeth. These are used to create a detailed 3D model, which allows us to map out your treatment plan. We’ll show you a virtual representation of how your teeth will move throughout the course of treatment and estimate the total time required for alignment.

2. Custom-Made Aligners

Using the treatment plan designed by Dr. Jayne, a series of custom aligners are fabricated to fit snugly over your teeth. These aligners are made from clear, BPA-free plastic and are comfortable to wear.

3. Gradually Shifting Your Teeth

Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks, gently moving your teeth into a new position. You’ll switch to a new set of aligners every two weeks and visit our office every four to six weeks for check-ups with Dr. Jayne to ensure your treatment is progressing smoothly.

4. Completing Your Treatment

Invisalign treatment usually takes about 12 to 18 months, depending on the complexity of your case. Once you complete the series of aligners, you’ll have a beautifully straightened smile.

Conditions Dr. Jayne Can Fix with Invisalign®

Invisalign is highly effective for treating a variety of alignment issues, including:

• Overcrowded Teeth: When teeth are crowded, it can be difficult to clean them properly, leading to a higher risk of decay and gum disease. Invisalign can correct overcrowding to improve both appearance and oral health.
• Overbite: An overbite occurs when the upper front teeth overlap the lower teeth excessively. This can cause wear on the lower teeth and lead to gum irritation and jaw problems.
• Underbite: An underbite happens when the lower teeth protrude beyond the upper teeth, which can interfere with proper chewing and lead to jaw pain. Invisalign can correct this issue by shifting the lower teeth back into alignment.
• Gaps Between Teeth: Gaps can trap food and bacteria, leading to tooth decay and gum disease. Invisalign can close these spaces and create a more even smile.
• Open Bite: An open bite occurs when the upper and lower teeth don’t meet when the mouth is closed, which can interfere with chewing and cause speech difficulties. Invisalign can adjust the teeth to correct this issue.
• Crossbite: A crossbite occurs when some of the upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth rather than outside. This can cause tooth wear and lead to gum problems. Invisalign can help realign the teeth to correct a crossbite.
