Invisalign® Treatment in Austin, TX

What Is Invisalign®?

Invisalign® straightens your teeth using custom-made aligners instead of metal brackets and wires. You just wear them. Every one to two weeks, you switch to a new set. Little by little, your teeth shift into the correct position.

And since the clear plastic blends right in, it’s easy to miss at a glance. Eating, brushing, and flossing? Just pop them out and go about your day as usual.

What Invisalign® Can Treat

Invisalign® can treat a lot of different issues like crowded or overlapping teeth, gaps, overbites, underbites, crossbites, even teeth that shifted after old orthodontic work. It’s great for mild to moderate cases. If yours is more complex, we might suggest traditional braces or a mix of treatments, and we’ll talk through that at your consultation.

Invisalign® vs. Traditional Braces

Invisalign® feels pretty different from traditional metal braces. The aligners are barely noticeable, while braces are right there in plain sight. You can pop Invisalign® out to eat or drink whenever you want, with no food restrictions at all, while braces stay fixed in place and come with a list of foods to avoid.

There are no brackets or wires poking at your cheeks, and brushing and flossing stay exactly the same. Braces need special tools just to clean around all that hardware. Invisalign® also means fewer trips to our office compared to the frequent adjustments braces require.

Benefits of Choosing Invisalign®

Invisalign® does more than just straighten your smile. It fits around your life instead of getting in the way of it. Here’s what makes it stand out:

Removable

Pop them out whenever you need to, during eating, drinking, a big presentation, whatever life throws at you.

Discreet by Design

The clear plastic blends right in with your teeth, so most people won’t even notice that you’re wearing them.

More Comfortable Than Braces

No metal brackets or wires means no poking, no irritation, no cuts on the inside of your cheeks.

Easier to Keep Your Teeth Clean

You just take them out to brush and floss, so there’s nothing extra to work around as you’d get with braces.

Fewer Office Visits

Forget coming in every few weeks for adjustments. You’ll just stop by now and then so we can check on your progress.

Predictable Results

We use digital scans to map out your treatment before you start, so you’ll already have a good sense of what your smile is going to look like.

Fits Into Real Life

No weird adjustments to your routine, just swap in a new set every couple of weeks and go about your day.

The Invisalign® Process

We start with an initial consultation, checking out your teeth and talking through your goals to see if Invisalign® is right for you. From there, we take digital scans instead of using messy impressions, which helps us map out your treatment and show you what your results could look like.

Once we’ve got a plan, we order your first set of aligners; most patients start wearing them within a few weeks. You’ll move to a new set every one to two weeks, and for the best results, you’ll want to wear them 20 to 22 hours a day. Along the way, we’ll check in periodically with follow-up visits to make sure everything’s moving along as planned.

Caring for Your Aligners

A little care goes a long way. Rinse your aligners every time you take them out, and brush them gently with a soft toothbrush. Skip the hot water, since it can warp the plastic, and keep them in their case whenever they’re not in your mouth.
