Invisalign®

At NJ Dental Implants Center, we offer Invisalign®, the clear, comfortable, and effective alternative to traditional braces for patients seeking a straighter, more aligned smile. Invisalign is a revolutionary orthodontic treatment that uses a series of custom-made, clear aligners to gradually shift teeth into their ideal positions, providing a discreet and comfortable way to achieve a beautiful, confident smile without the metal brackets and wires.

What is Invisalign®?

Invisalign® is a modern approach to straightening teeth using a series of clear, removable aligners. These aligners are made from a smooth, BPA-free plastic material that fits comfortably over your teeth and is virtually invisible. Invisalign aligners are custom-designed based on 3D digital images of your mouth, ensuring a precise fit and an effective treatment plan.

Each aligner in the series is worn for about two weeks before being replaced with the next set in the series. Over time, the aligners gradually move your teeth into their desired positions without the need for metal brackets or wires.

Benefits of Invisalign® at NJ Dental Implants Center

Aesthetic Appeal: Invisalign aligners are clear and discreet, making them ideal for people who want to straighten their teeth without drawing attention to their braces. Since the aligners are nearly invisible, they allow you to improve your smile without the self-consciousness that often comes with traditional braces.
Comfort and Convenience: The aligners are made from a smooth plastic that is comfortable to wear, with no sharp edges or metal parts that can irritate the inside of your mouth. The clear aligners can also be removed when eating, drinking, brushing, or flossing, allowing you to maintain your regular routine with minimal disruption.
Customized Treatment Plan: At NJ Dental Implants Center, we use advanced 3D imaging technology to create a customized treatment plan that is tailored to your specific needs and goals. This digital approach provides a highly accurate prediction of your teeth’s movement and the final result, allowing for a precise and efficient treatment.
Faster Treatment Times: While every patient’s treatment time is unique, many Invisalign patients experience faster treatment compared to traditional braces. Invisalign aligners are designed to move teeth efficiently and in the right direction, often reducing treatment time compared to conventional orthodontics.
Improved Oral Hygiene: Since Invisalign aligners are removable, you can continue to brush and floss your teeth as usual. This makes it much easier to maintain optimal oral hygiene throughout your treatment, reducing the risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and other issues that can occur with traditional braces.
Minimal Discomfort: Traditional metal braces can cause discomfort, especially after adjustments. Invisalign aligners, on the other hand, apply gentle, consistent pressure to move your teeth. Though you may experience some mild discomfort or pressure when switching to a new set of aligners, this is temporary and generally less noticeable than the discomfort associated with braces.
Better for Active Lifestyles: If you play sports or have an active lifestyle, Invisalign is an excellent option. The aligners are removable, so you can take them out during physical activities, preventing discomfort or potential injury that might occur with traditional braces.

How Invisalign® Works at NJ Dental Implants Center

Initial Consultation: The process begins with a comprehensive consultation with one of our experienced dental professionals. During this appointment, we will evaluate your oral health, discuss your cosmetic goals, and determine if Invisalign is the right treatment for you. Using advanced imaging technology, we can take 3D scans or digital impressions of your teeth, allowing us to create a personalized treatment plan.
Customized Treatment Plan: Based on the 3D digital images and your treatment goals, we will design a customized treatment plan that outlines how your teeth will gradually shift over time. The treatment plan will also give us an estimated timeline for how long your Invisalign treatment will take.
Receiving Your Aligners: Once your treatment plan is finalized, we will create a series of custom aligners. Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks before switching to the next set in the series. The aligners apply gentle pressure to your teeth to move them into the desired position gradually. During your treatment, we will schedule follow-up visits to monitor your progress and ensure the aligners are fitting properly.
Wearing Your Aligners: For optimal results, it is important to wear your aligners for at least 20-22 hours per day. The only times you should remove them are when eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. This consistent wear is crucial for achieving the best results within the shortest time.
Progress Checks: Throughout your treatment, we will monitor your progress through periodic check-ins. These visits allow us to ensure that your teeth are moving as planned and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment.
Completion of Treatment: After completing your Invisalign treatment, you will have a beautifully aligned smile! At this point, we will take final impressions to create a set of retainers to help maintain the position of your teeth. Retainers are important for ensuring that your teeth remain in their new position after the treatment is completed.

Who is a Good Candidate for Invisalign®?

Invisalign is suitable for most patients, including those with:

Mild to moderate misalignment: Invisalign is ideal for patients with crooked or crowded teeth, small gaps between teeth, or minor bite issues.
Cosmetic and functional concerns: Invisalign can correct issues such as overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites.
Teens and adults: Invisalign is a great option for both teenagers and adults who want a discreet, comfortable way to straighten their teeth.

However, there are some cases where traditional braces may be more effective, such as for severe bite problems or complex orthodontic cases. During your initial consultation, our dental team will assess your individual needs and help determine if Invisalign is right for you.
