The Comfortable, Convenient Way to Straighten Your Teeth with Invisalign

Dental Invisalign in Manakin-sabot VA Area

In the past, metal braces were the go-to treatment for straightening crooked teeth. Today, there’s the convenience of Invisalign to get the smile of your dreams. Invisalign uses clear, plastic aligners to straighten your teeth discreetly and comfortably. If you live in Manakin-Sabot, Virginia, or surrounding areas, we invite you to visit Goochland Dentistry to learn more about our Invisalign teeth straightening treatments.

What to Expect from Invisalign

Invisalign is the modern way of straightening crooked teeth. The process starts with a thorough dental evaluation by Dr. Peter Murchie to ensure your teeth and gums are in good health before starting your treatment. We’ll then discuss the problems that need fixing, i.e., crooked teeth, misaligned teeth, a bad bite, etc., and outline a treatment plan. The team will perform a digital scan of your teeth and photographs to custom-design the aligner trays you’ll use to achieve your goal of straighter, more attractive teeth.

Unlike metal braces, Invisalign aligners are removed for eating and brushing your teeth. Once these tasks have been completed, your aligners should be replaced immediately to ensure you get the most out of your treatment. For optimal results, you should wear your aligners at least 22 hours daily. While in place, the aligners gently shift your teeth into a straighter position.

Every few weeks, you’ll change your aligners to continue the process of realigning your teeth. You’ll visit our office every four to six weeks, so Dr. Murchie can monitor your progress and make adjustments if needed. Most Invisalign treatments last between 8 and 18 months, depending on the problems being addressed. You’ll notice changes in your smile throughout the procedure.

Problems Invisalign Can Fix

Invisalign is a versatile orthodontic treatment that can treat several dental problems effectively. It’s ideal for teens and adults who don’t want the trouble of wearing unsightly metal braces to straighten their teeth. Invisalign can correct issues such as:

Crooked teeth
Misaligned teeth
Crowded teeth
Gaps between teeth
Overbites, underbites, open bites, and crossbites

By the end of your treatment, you’ll have achieved a beautiful smile you can show off proudly, and that is much easier to clean.
