Fort Washington, MD Invisalign Services

Dental Office Providing Invisalign Teeth Straightening Treatments in Fort Washington, Maryland

If you have crooked or misaligned teeth or suffer from bite issues, you may want to take steps to correct their alignment. Misalignment can make teeth harder to clean and contribute to bite problems that affect your ongoing comfort. By straightening your teeth, you can not only enhance the beauty of your smile, but you may also be able to improve your long-term oral health. At Alexandria Dental Art, our Invisalign treatments can help you achieve properly aligned teeth through a process that is discreet, comfortable, and effective.

Invisalign has become one of the most trusted orthodontic solutions for people who want to correct issues such as crooked teeth, gaps, underbites, overbites, or crossbites. By using clear plastic aligners, you can avoid many of the inconveniences of traditional metal braces. Our team combines advanced technology with personalized care, and we will work to help you achieve a straighter smile that is as functional as it is attractive.

Teeth Straightening With Invisalign

Invisalign treatment uses custom-made plastic aligners that you will wear continually. These aligners will gradually move your teeth into the proper alignment. Each aligner is designed to apply gentle, precise pressure to specific teeth. You will wear each set of aligners for a few weeks before switching to the next in the series.

The aligners are created using detailed 3D scans of your teeth. This ensures that they will fit you perfectly and provide the adjustments needed to shift your teeth into the right positions. Because aligners are removable, you will be able to eat and drink without any restrictions, and you can easily brush and floss your teeth.

You will visit our office for regular checkups, and we will provide you with new sets of aligners on a regular basis to ensure that treatment is progressing correctly. Once treatment is complete, you can use retainers to maintain stability for your teeth. Throughout your treatment, we will keep you informed of your progress and make sure you understand what needs to be done to achieve the proper alignment.

Invisalign vs. Traditional Braces

While both Invisalign and braces can be used to straighten teeth, Invisalign offers several distinct advantages:

• Convenience: Aligners are removable, making it easier to enjoy your favorite foods and maintain normal brushing and flossing habits. Braces, on the other hand, will remain on your teeth until treatment is complete. They may prevent you from eating certain foods, and you may struggle to keep your teeth clean through regular brushing and flossing.
• Discreet Appearance: Invisalign aligners are clear and virtually invisible. Most people will not realize that you are receiving treatment to align your teeth. Braces are much more obvious, and you may not like the appearance of metal brackets and wires.
• Comfort: The smooth plastic aligners used during Invisalign treatment are comfortable, and they will not irritate the tissues in your mouth. With braces, you may experience sores due to brackets and wires rubbing against your lips, cheeks, or gums.
• Predictable Results: The 3D scans taken during Invisalign treatment will provide you with a clear roadmap of the process and allow you to preview the expected outcome. With braces, you may be unsure about what the final results will look like.

Invisalign as Part of a Smile Makeover

Invisalign may be one component of a larger cosmetic dentistry plan at Alexandria Dental Art. In addition to making sure your teeth are properly aligned, we can provide treatments to further enhance the beauty and health of your smile. Our smile makeover services may include:

• Teeth whitening to brighten and enhance the appearance of your teeth
• Dental bonding to correct chips, cracks, or uneven tooth shapes
• Crowns or dental implants to restore damaged teeth or replace missing teeth, ensuring that you will have a uniform, healthy smile
