Invisalign Orthodontics
Straight Teeth, Fast!
Dr. Barba is very happy to offer Invisalign clear aligners to our patients. These innovative trays can provide straight teeth much more quickly than traditional braces in most cases. Many patients see full results in only 9 – 15 months! Clear aligners can correct such imperfections as crowding, wide spaces, overbite, underbite, and even crossbite. A fast, nearly invisible option for straighter teeth!
Transform Your Smile
Many people do not like the look of traditional braces. They tend to make people feel self-conscious or juvenile. As the first clear aligner system invented, Invisalign aligners are the least noticeable way to straighten your teeth. The aligners are nearly invisible so you can discreetly straighten your teeth with no change in your appearance or confidence. Each aligner gently moves your teeth until they are in a healthy and aesthetic position for a beautiful smile.
Benefits of Choosing Invisalign
Invisalign is easily removable, which makes the clear aligners less of an interruption to your lifestyle. Unlike with traditional braces, a patient does not need to visit an orthodontist to remove Invisalign. This gives you the flexibility to eat and drink what you want during treatment simply by removing the aligners when you eat. You can also remove them to brush and floss as you normally would for fresh breath and good oral hygiene.
Another benefit of Invisalign over traditional braces is time. With the use of an iTero digital scanner, Dr. Barba begins your treatment by taking a highly accurate 3-D impression of your teeth and soft tissue structures. This impression – which is obtained with far more comfort than the old-fashioned tray and putty impressions – is used in creating your custom-made Invisalign aligners. After getting fitted for your first set, you will return to our office every few weeks to have new aligners made. Doing so will ensure your aligners are changing with your teeth throughout the course of treatment, resulting in a more efficient process. Some cases may be able to take advantage of “fast tracking,” where aligners are worn for one week each instead of two. Dr. Barba will discuss fast-tracking your treatment during your initial consultation. Also, you’ll be able to see Invisalign results in real time…no more waiting until braces come off!
Dr. Barba has been named a Gold Invisalign Provider in 2018 and 2022. She has helped countless patients love their smiles after seeing their own Invisalign results.
Invisalign Teen Treatment Adds Additional Support
No two teen cases are the same, which is why Align Technology (the company that makes Invisalign) is constantly advancing its digital treatment solutions. This allows our dental spa to deliver a unique, customized teeth-straightening solution that’s more precise and keeps your teen moving forward. With the Invisalign system’s proprietary innovations, such as SmartTrack™ material, your teen’s smile can transform up to 50% faster (using the possible fast-track option of weekly aligner changes, instead of every two weeks). And as your teen becomes the person you’ve always seen, he or she will continue to enjoy the things that make your teen unique.
Features of Invisalign Teen
Throughout treatment, you can monitor your child’s compliance with their instructions through an indicator on the aligner. They will wear the aligners for 22 hours per day, but can easily remove them so there are fewer interruptions to their lifestyle. As your teen progresses through treatment, his or her smile and life will transform through a series of small, expertly designed shifts. And with the Invisalign Teen Guarantee, you have the option to switch to wires and brackets if your teen decides against Invisalign treatment within the first six months.
Additional Reasons for Choosing Invisalign
