Invisalign in Chandler, AZ

Are you dreaming of a perfectly aligned smile without the metallic glint of braces? Check out Invisalign — the clear solution for straightening teeth. At Dental Arts of Chandler, Dr. Jennifer Enos is here to guide you through the magic of Invisalign. Ready to dive in? Let’s go!

What is Invisalign?

Think of Invisalign as the modern-day, almost invisible tool for teeth straightening. Instead of metal brackets and wires, Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners, custom-designed for your teeth. This orthodontic care method gradually shifts your teeth into their desired positions — minus the traditional braces look.

Is Invisalign Better Than Braces?

The “better” option often boils down to personal preferences and specific dental needs. But here’s why many folks lean towards Invisalign:

  • Nearly Invisible: Want discreet orthodontic care? Invisalign aligners are clear, making them a great choice for those who’d rather not advertise their teeth-straightening journey.
  • Comfort: Without metal brackets or wires, there’s less irritation to the gums and cheeks.
  • Convenience: You don’t have to worry about food restrictions! With these easily removable aligners, you can temporarily remove them to eat or attend special events. Just don’t forget to put them back on!
  • Easy Cleaning: Unlike braces, you can remove Invisalign aligners to brush and floss normally, making it easier to maintain healthy teeth.

Alternatives to Invisalign

While Invisalign is fantastic, it might not be everyone’s cup of tea. If you’re exploring alternatives, we’ve got you covered:

  • Traditional Braces: The tried-and-true method with metal brackets and wires.
  • Ceramic Braces: Like traditional braces but with tooth-colored or clear brackets.
  • Lingual Braces: Braces that are placed on the backside of the teeth.

Remember, the best choice depends on your unique needs and lifestyle. Dr. Enos will help guide you to the most suitable solution.

What is the Process for Getting Invisalign?

Curious about the journey? Here’s a quick overview:

  1. Consultation: Get an initial appointment at our office, and let Dr. Jennifer Enos assess whether Invisalign is right for you.
  2. Custom Plan: Using advanced tech, we’ll map out your teeth’s projected movements.
  3. Get Your Aligners: Once your aligners are ready, pop into our dentist’s office and pick them up.
  4. Wear Them: Wear each set of aligners for about two weeks, moving on to the next set as instructed.
  5. Check-ins: Periodic visits to Dental Arts of Chandler will ensure everything’s on track.

What to Watch for When Wearing Invisalign Aligners

While clear aligners are highly convenient, there are still a few things to be careful of with your aligners:

  • Don’t eat with your aligners in: The aligners are removable and not durable enough for chewing. Simply pop them out to enjoy your daily meals, then put them back in.
  • Avoid pigmented liquids: Water is the safest drink while you wear your aligners. Drinks like coffee or soda can stain the aligners, giving your teeth a discolored look.
  • Don’t rush: As exciting as it can be to get your dream smile, don’t move to the next set of aligners until you’ve been instructed to. Moving too quickly can risk permanent damage to your teeth!

How Long Do I Need to Wear Invisalign Retainers?

After your teeth have been guided into their beautiful new positions, you’re not quite done. Retainers help ensure your teeth don’t shift back. Typically, Dr. Enos will advise wearing your Invisalign retainers full-time for a few months, transitioning to nighttime wear thereafter. Every smile is unique, so individual instructions might vary!
