Invisalign FAQ
Grants Pass, OR
 If you'd like straighter teeth, but don't want to wear noticeable metal braces with brackets and wires, Invisalign clear aligners may be the solution for you. We offer Invisalign clear aligners here at Robinson Orthodontics.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign, a revolutionary clear aligner system, has transformed the orthodontic landscape by offering a discreet and comfortable solution for straightening teeth. Crafted in dental labs from precise impressions, these custom-made aligners gently guide teeth into their desired positions over time. Unlike traditional braces with fixed wires, Invisalign utilizes a series of clear trays to correct a wide range of dental misalignments, including crowded teeth, gap teeth, overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites.
What is Invisalign Made Out Of?
Invisalign aligners are made primarily of a clear, BPA-free plastic material called SmartTrack®. This innovative thermoplastic material is custom-designed to provide a snug and comfortable fit over the teeth while gently guiding them into their desired positions over time. Additionally, each aligner is crafted using advanced 3D printing technology, ensuring precision and effectiveness in the orthodontic treatment process.
Who Are Ideal Candidates for Invisalign?
Ideal for teenagers and adults seeking to enhance their smiles, Invisalign clear aligners are the go-to choice for those desiring a straighter and more confident smile. With its versatility and simplicity, Invisalign offers quicker treatment times compared to traditional braces, making it an appealing option for individuals who prefer a discreet orthodontic solution. However, it's essential to consult with our dentist to determine the suitability of Invisalign for specific dental conditions, especially for those requiring more serious alignment correction.
What is the Process for Getting Invisalign?
Invisalign begins with a comprehensive consultation where our dentist will review your dental history, explain the treatment process, and demonstrate how the transparent aligners function. Following a thorough examination, including X-rays and impressions of your teeth, custom aligners are meticulously crafted to fit your unique dental structure. Upon receiving your aligner trays, our dental experts will ensure a proper fit.
Are Invisalign Aligners Comfortable?
Adapting to your new aligners may involve initial discomfort, which fades as your teeth gradually adjust to the gentle movement facilitated by Invisalign. While minor tooth sensitivity and temporary speech adjustments may occur, our dentist will provide comprehensive care instructions to alleviate any concerns and ensure a smooth transition throughout your Invisalign treatment.
How Does the Invisalign Treatment Plan Work?
You will wear your clear aligners for approximately 22 hours a day, removing them only during meals, brushing sessions, or drinking anything other than water. Approximately every two weeks, you will receive new aligner trays. The aligners will gradually shift your teeth into the desired position.
What Are the Advantages of Invisalign?
The benefits of Invisalign extend far beyond its discreet appearance, offering unparalleled convenience and comfort compared to traditional braces. Clear aligners allow for easy removal, facilitating effortless oral hygiene routines and eliminating food restrictions. With their texture resembling natural teeth, Invisalign ensures a comfortable fit and reduces the need for frequent orthodontic appointments or repairs.
