Invisalign®

 Invisalign® is a clear aligner system that straightens teeth without the use of metal braces. This invisible teeth aligner is a popular alternative to traditional braces because it is more discreet and comfortable. Invisalign aligners are custom-made to fit your teeth and are designed to move your teeth gradually over time.

The age of wearing braces is fading as Invisalign invisible teeth aligners steps in with less painful treatment, removable aligners and fewer office appointments.

However, with the invention of Invisalign®, patients enjoy more freedom, quicker results, and a happier teeth straightening journey.

When you’re looking for Invisalign in Hoodsport, TLC Family Dental  is your best choice for Invisalign® providers.

There was a time when the only way to straighten teeth was with braces. Teens worldwide endured painful metal jabs in their lips and gums from prodding wires. 

Going to the dentist meant laying back with tight fists while the dentist came at you with pliers and tightened the wires that pulled your teeth together.

Braces meant headaches, embarrassment, ridicule, and no more eating foods that you enjoyed. You couldn’t eat apples, popcorn, candy, or most foods that made you happy. 

Then came the rubber bands. Each night or day, you had to apply rubber bands to your braces which would fly across the room because they were hard to put on. Your mom would find them stuck in the vacuum. 

Even worse, they occasionally popped off in class while you were speaking. Braces put your teeth and yourself in jail throughout the most important time of your life.

Invisalign® invisible teeth aligner is the preferred teeth straightening system for the whole family. Teens request Invisalign® because they already know that the Invisalign journey is great for their confidence and self-esteem. Now, entire families get their teeth straightened together. It’s the most inexpensive way to get a beautiful, dazzling smile.

Six different smile types – The team at Hood Canal Family Dental might discuss the six major types of smiles that restorative dentistry repairs

1. Overbites
2. Underbites
3. Crossbites
4. Gap teeth
5. Open teeth
6. Crooked teeth

You probably already know which smile type is yours. If you have a type of bite that is a special case, we’ll know quickly if you require another option for treatment. Don’t worry about what kind of smile you have. Not all patients fit in one category. We do this to make sure you are a good candidate for Invisalign®. Invisalign® invisible teeth aligners can fix almost all types of misalignments.

Invisalign® works in three easy steps with customizable solutions for each patient’s unique treatment process.

1. First, you will visit Hood Canal Family Dental for a FREE smile assessment. Straighter teeth improve the shape of your smile. The iTero Element® scanner allows the team at Hood Canal Family Dental to take a fast and precise 3D digital scan of your teeth and map out a custom treatment plan just for you, without painful impressions or goopy impression material.

The iTero Element® scanner is a revolutionary, high-tech scanner that captures a high-speed and accurate 3-D digital image of your teeth. With these images, we can create an individualized treatment plan. We can also show you how your teeth will look after treatment.

2. You will need to return to the office to get your aligners and make sure they fit properly.  You’ll check in with us regularly in person or virtually, and we’ll keep watch as your teeth straighten. With Invisalign®, your office visit is faster because you don’t require the constant maintenance previously needed with braces.

3. Your Invisalign® team will answer any questions you have and give you instructions, accessories and everything you need to make your smile transformation a success.

Invisalign® aligners gradually shift your teeth incrementally into position with gentle pressure. Once the aligners shift your teeth to a certain point, you’ll receive a new pair of aligners to further the alignment process. Patients get new aligners every few weeks. When you are finished with your aligners, you will get a retainer.

Invisalign® invisible teeth aligners are made with SmartTrack material that features a BPA-free and latex-free construction. This material is used to create an aligner that can help people with sensitivities or allergies. Additionally, they’re designed to apply an equal amount of force throughout treatment to ensure effective tooth movement.
