Invisalign – Freedom, WI

Invisalign With Dental Expressions

Many patients are dissatisfied with the alignment of their teeth. It can make them feel awkward when talking or eating, and even cause discomfort. A typical solution to this problem over the years has been metal braces. However, not everyone likes the idea of wearing brackets and wires because of how they would change their appearance. Dental Expressions is proud to offer a discrete alternative with Invisalign in Freedom, WI. Request an appointment today!

How Invisalign Works

Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that can help patients with crooked teeth by using several sets of clear, plastic trays. These trays, or “aligners”, are worn in a specific series, and gradually shift your teeth into alignment with small fit adjustments about every two weeks. By wearing Invisalign’s discrete aligners for 22 hours a day, you could enjoy a straighter smile in 8 – 18 months, depending on your unique alignment.

What Is the Process of Getting Invisalign?

The first step is for Dr. Robert and Dr. Heather Heil to give your teeth a thorough examination. This will allow them to see if Invisalign is the right treatment for you, as well as allow you to ask any questions you might have. Should you decide to go forward, the process will start with their team taking a series of X-rays and photos of your mouth. These will be used to make your trays and ensure they are perfectly fitted to your particular teeth. Once you have started wearing your trays, you will need to visit the office about every 6-8 weeks so your progress can be monitored. Here are the most common orthodontic issues Invisalign can fix:

Crowded Teeth

Does your mouth feel claustrophobic? Crowded teeth can look less-than-ideal and cause oral health issues. Invisalign can provide relief by realigning them and giving them room to breathe.

Gaps Between Teeth

If you’re tired of hearing the wind whistle through your smile gaps, Invisalign is for you, too. Spaces between teeth can increase your risk of cavities and gum disease. Fortunately, Invisalign can gently realign your teeth to eliminate those spaces and give you a uniform smile.

Bite Alignment

Underbites, overbites, and everything in-between are no match for these clear aligners! Untreated bite alignment issues can cause jaw pain and TMJ disorder. While severe bite alignment issues may require metal braces, Invisalign can help you overcome mild to moderate bite alignment problems for a healthier and more comfortable smile.

One of the benefits of Invisalign is just how much your treatment is personalized. Every aligner is designed to match a different stage of your realignment and requires a high level of precision and detail to create. With the help of the iTero Element scanner, we can easily capture digital impressions of your teeth in a matter of minutes. That means no unpleasant impression material is needed just to fabricate your aligners. After capture, we can create your aligner series and even show you what your smile will look like following your treatment through Invisalign’s outcome simulator.

The Benefits of Invisalign
