Invisalign

Are you looking for a discreet and effective way to achieve a straighter smile? Look no further than Lakeside Family & Implant Dentistry, your trusted partner in oral health and cosmetic dentistry. 

We're excited to introduce you to the world of Invisalign – the modern approach to achieving a beautiful, confident smile without the hassle of traditional braces.

Invisalign is a cutting-edge orthodontic treatment that utilizes clear, removable aligners to gradually shift your teeth into their desired positions. These aligners are custom-made to fit snugly over your teeth, making them virtually invisible to others. 

Invisalign offers a comfortable and convenient alternative to traditional braces, allowing you to achieve your dream smile with minimal disruption to your daily life.

Your preferences and individual lifestyle will determine what options are best for you, but Invisalign® offers several noticeable advantages:

• Aesthetics: Nearly invisible aligners, so you can confidently smile through your treatment.
• Comfort: Smooth, plastic aligners without metal brackets or wires that poke at the inside of your mouth.
• Convenience: Removable for eating, brushing, and flossing; no dietary restrictions, and no struggle to brush around metal brackets!
• Customization: Tailored specifically to your teeth so you know you’re getting the smile you want.

However, braces might be more suitable for complex dental issues. Dr. Saluja will help you find the best solution for your orthodontic needs.

Other orthodontic options include:

• Traditional Braces: Effective for a wide range of alignment issues.
• Ceramic Braces: Less noticeable than metal braces.
• Lingual Braces: Placed behind the teeth, out of sight.

1. Consultation: Dr. Saluja evaluates your teeth and discusses your goals.
2. Custom Plan: We create a unique treatment plan with 3D imaging technology. We’ll keep you informed of everything you need to know for an effective treatment.
3. Receiving Your Aligners: Custom aligners are made based on your plan. You’ll receive instructions on how to wear them, how to clean them, and when to change sets.
4. Regular Check-Ups: Periodic appointments to monitor progress. We must make sure your treatment is moving properly and safely.

After treatment, you'll wear retainers to maintain your new smile. These retainers will be worn similarly to the clear aligners but without changing the location of your teeth. The duration for retainer wear varies, but typically they are worn full-time for a few months, then only at night indefinitely. This step is crucial to maintaining the new smile you worked so hard for!
