Vienna, VA Invisalign Dentist Treatments

We Help Patients in Vienna, Virginia Straighten Their Teeth Using Invisalign

Straight, even teeth are essential for more than just a beautiful smile—they also play a critical role in maintaining your long-term oral health. When your teeth are properly aligned, brushing and flossing will be more effective, bite pressure will be distributed evenly, and the risk of enamel wear, cavities, and gum disease will be reduced. At Alexandria Dental Art, we can help you straighten your teeth through Invisalign treatments. Our goal is to ensure that you can achieve a straighter smile through a process that is discreet, comfortable, and highly effective.

The Benefits of Straighter Teeth

A straight smile does much more than enhance your appearance. With properly aligned teeth, you can benefit from:

• Improved Oral Hygiene: Straight teeth are easier to brush and floss, and they can help avoid issues such as food being trapped between overlapping teeth. By maintaining good oral hygiene and reducing plaque buildup, you can prevent tooth decay and the need for fillings or other restorative treatments.
• Balanced Bite Function: Correct alignment can help you prevent uneven wear on your teeth. It can also prevent jaw discomfort from an uneven bite.
• Better Chewing and Speech: When your teeth are in the proper alignment, you will be able to chew food more effectively. Straighter teeth may also help eliminate speech impediments.
• Increased Confidence: You can feel more comfortable and self-assured with an even, attractive smile.

The Invisalign Treatment Process

Invisalign uses a series of clear plastic aligners that will be custom-made for you. The aligners will fit snugly over your teeth, and they will use subtle pressure to gradually move teeth into their proper positions.

Your treatment will begin with a comprehensive exam in which we will take digital 3D scans of your teeth. The digital model created with these scans will be used to design a treatment plan that will map out the ways teeth will be moved into the proper alignment. You will be able to preview the projected results before treatment begins.

During your treatment, you will wear a series of aligners. Each set of aligners will be slightly different, and you will wear them for a few weeks before progressing to the next set. Aligners will be worn throughout the day and night, but they can be removed to eat meals or to clean your teeth.

Periodic visits to our office will allow us to track your progress and provide you with new sets of aligners. Once treatment is complete, we will provide you with retainers to maintain the new alignment. Throughout your treatments, you can maintain comfort, and you will be able to benefit from properly aligned teeth and a healthy smile.

The Advantages of Invisalign Aligners

Invisalign can be a good alternative to braces because of the flexibility and comfort it provides. The aligners are nearly invisible, and their smooth plastic design will allow you to avoid irritation to your cheeks, lips, or gums during treatment. Since the aligners are removable, you will be able to eat and drink without restrictions, and you can maintain good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing normally. These benefits make Invisalign especially appealing when you are looking for a convenient orthodontic option that will fit easily into your everyday life.

Combining Invisalign With Other Cosmetic Dentistry Treatments

In addition to Invisalign, Alexandria Dental Art can provide other types of cosmetic dentistry services to help you achieve your smile goals. These services may include:

• Teeth whitening to brighten and refresh your smile after your teeth are in the proper alignment
• Dental bonding to repair small imperfections or reshape irregular teeth
• Crowns, bridges, or implants to replace missing teeth or restore damaged teeth, completing a balanced smile

We can also help you maintain good oral health through general dentistry treatments. We provide preventative care, fillings, root canals, and more.
