Invisalign Clear Aligners in Mesquite, TX
Does the prospect of wearing traditional metal braces keep you from taking the steps to straighten your crooked teeth? If you are an adult or older teen looking for a discreet alternative to braces, Invisalign® clear aligners at Mesquite Dental Suite might be the perfect solution for you.
How Does Invisalign Work?
Invisalign offers an innovative approach to teeth alignment. Instead of cumbersome wires and brackets, Invisalign uses clear, BPA-free plastic aligners designed to fit snugly over your teeth.
The aligners gradually and gently shift your teeth into the ideal position mapped out by our Invisalign dentists. Ideal Invisalign candidates are adults of any age with mild to moderate alignment issues who want a subtler treatment option.
Invisalign's Benefits
Choosing Invisalign at our Mesquite dental office offers many benefits:
- Discreet — Invisalign’s clear aligners are virtually invisible so that you can smile confidently throughout treatment.
- Comfortable — With smooth plastic aligners instead of metal brackets or wires, Invisalign aligners are gentler on your cheeks and gums.
- Convenient — You can easily remove your aligners during meals, oral hygiene, or a special event like a wedding, reunion, or job interview.
- Support oral health— With removable aligners, oral hygiene is a breeze, so you can keep your teeth clean and healthy throughout treatment. After treatment, you’ll find that straight teeth are easier to clean, decreasing your risk of cavities and gum disease.
- Improved appearance —A straighter smile can enhance your overall facial aesthetic and may even boost your self-confidence in personal and professional settings.
What Alignment Issues Does Invisalign Correct?
Invisalign is effective for treating many of the same dental alignment issues as traditional braces, such as:
- Crowded teeth
- Crooked teeth
- Gapped teeth
- Overbite
- Underbite
- Crossbite
- Open bite
For more complex issues, such as a complex bite problem or severely rotated teeth, braces might be a more appropriate treatment option. Our experienced Invisalign dentist in Mesquite will guide you on the best course of action during your consultation.
Getting Started with Invisalign
Using leading-edge dental technology, our team creates a detailed 3-D virtual image of your teeth. This allows our dentists to chart your custom treatment plan and give you a preview of your new smile before starting the treatment.
How Invisalign Treatment Works
Invisalign treatment is easy when you follow some simple steps:
- Wear your aligners for 22 hours a day to ensure optimal results in the shortest time possible.
- Remove Invisalign for brushing, flossing, eating, and consuming dark-colored beverages that stain the aligners.
- Visit Mesquite Dental Suite every 6-8 weeks for check-ups to ensure your treatment is progressing as planned.
On average, Invisalign treatment time is 12–18 months. However, the exact duration depends on your individual dental needs.
