Clear Aligner Therapy Near You

Improper bites and crooked or gapped teeth are among the most prevalent dental issues. They are common among patients of all ages, from kids to adults. Orthodontists often use metal or ceramic braces to correct these problems. However, Invisalign and SureSmile is now becoming the treatment of choice for patients with misaligned or malpositioned teeth. Our dentist can fix these dental issues and restore your beautiful smile with clear aligner therapy in Vancouver, WA.

What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign is an FDA-approved orthodontic treatment for misaligned teeth using clear dental aligners. The aligners straighten crooked or overlapping teeth back to position, restoring your bright smile.

Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign doesn’t use metal wires or ceramic brackets. Instead, the aligners are made from a patented thermoplastic material that is virtually invisible, making them a discreet option for straightening your teeth.

How Does Invisalign Treatment Work?

Invisalign aligners are customized dental trays for correcting bite issues, crowded teeth, and misalignments. When worn, these invisible braces exert force based on the mapped-out movements of your teeth, aligning them into position.

Our dentist will change your aligners to a different size every few weeks after attaining the projected shift. Each new set will gradually move your teeth until they return to their correct position. Treatment might take six to 12 months to align your smile.

Who Is A Good Candidate for Invisalign Treatment?

Invisalign treatment is for anyone and everyone. It has no age limit. This orthodontic solution employs innovative techniques to correct bite and teeth-straightening issues. Invisalign in Vancouver, WA might be appropriate for you if you have crooked teeth or significant gaps between your teeth. However, the ideal candidate must have healthy teeth without signs of periodontal disease. Patients must also be ready to wear their Invisalign aligners for the recommended time daily and clean them appropriately.
