One of the biggest innovations in orthodontics in the last few decades was the emergence of Invisalign aligners. Invisalign was the first to offer clear aligners for orthodontic treatment, changing the way adults and teens straighten their teeth.
At Liberty Lake Smile Source, we are happy to offer the Invisalign aligner for our patients who want a straighter, healthier smile without wearing metal braces. Both teens and adults can enjoy the benefits of discreet, comfortable clear aligners for their orthodontic treatment at our clinic in Liberty Lake, WA.
INVISALIGN®
Invisalign aligners are made from a clear, flexible plastic and designed to fit over your teeth. The aligners are customized from a 3D scan of your teeth to create the right pressure to shift your teeth into the correct position. Adults enjoy the discrete nature of Invisalign – the clear aligners are almost invisible, allowing orthodontic treatment without noticeable braces. Every few weeks, a new set of aligners is issued to continue shifting the teeth. The aligners can be removed when eating or performing oral hygiene, offering more lifestyle flexibility than braces during treatment.
INVISALIGN® TEEN
Teens also can enjoy more comfortable orthodontic treatments with the Invisalign Teen product. We can straighten teen smiles with clear aligners that do not have the wires, bands, and brackets of braces. Teens enjoy the appearance of Invisalign and the ability to eat the foods they love – braces require restrictions on crunchy and chewy foods. The treatment time for Invisalign Teen is similar to braces, usually requiring one to two years, but the experience is more comfortable and less invasive. There are also fewer visits to our office with Invisalign than with braces, which can require frequent adjustments and repairs.
TREATMENT PROCESS & PLANNING
The Invisalign treatment process at Liberty Lake Smile Source begins with a comprehensive consultation, during which our orthodontic specialists assess your dental needs and discuss your aesthetic goals. Using advanced imaging technology, we create a precise digital treatment plan that outlines the movement of your teeth at each stage of the Invisalign process. This personalized approach ensures that each aligner is specifically designed to fit your teeth at every step of the journey toward a straighter smile.
COSMETIC & HEALTH BENEFITS
In addition to improving the appearance of your smile, Invisalign aligners offer significant health benefits. Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of periodontal disease and tooth decay. Furthermore, correcting misaligned bites with Invisalign can alleviate issues related to chewing and speech, and even reduce certain types of jaw pain. At Liberty Lake Smile Source, we focus on the holistic benefits of Invisalign, ensuring that your orthodontic treatment contributes to your overall oral health and well-being.
AFTER-CARE & RETENTION
Once the active phase of your Invisalign treatment is complete, maintaining the results becomes crucial. At Liberty Lake Smile Source, we provide comprehensive after-care advice and retention solutions to ensure your smile stays straight and beautiful. Retainers are typically recommended to wear at night to keep your teeth in their new position. We are committed to supporting you through the entire orthodontic journey, from initial consultation to post-treatment care, to ensure lasting results and a confident, healthy smile.
Invisalign for adults and teens can achieve beautiful results without the need for metal braces. If you or your teenager need orthodontic treatment, Liberty Lake Smile Source offers Invisalign and other orthodontic options at our dental center in Spokane Valley. We welcome patients from the greater Spokane and Post Falls, ID, area at our clinic in Liberty Lake, WA.
