Invisalign aligners

Invisalign

We all know that misaligned teeth detract from an otherwise beautiful smile, but did you know that misalignment can lead to other issues? Crooked teeth can cause chewing and speaking problems. They are also more difficult to brush and floss properly, which can lead to cavities. To enhance your smile and improve your dental function, Andrew G. Mortensen, DDS, offers Invisalign® at our Fountain Valley, CA, practice.

What Is Invisalign?

/

Chances are you have heard of Invisalign since it is such a popular and powerful treatment. But you may be asking yourself how it works. The basics: Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that uses clear plastic aligners to straighten your teeth. There are no brackets or wires like traditional braces.

Can Invisalign Really Straighten My Smile?

Benefits of Invisalign

The Invisalign system has significant advantages over traditional wire braces. For example, patients who choose this orthodontic option can enjoy:

Discreet Treatment

Unlike braces, Invisalign's clear aligners are virtually unnoticeable. In fact, most of your friends will not be able to tell you are undergoing orthodontic treatment.

Optimal Comfort

Traditional wires and brackets can irritate the soft tissues of the mouth. In contrast, Invisalign aligners are made from smooth plastic that fits comfortably over the teeth and won't poke or scratch your cheeks, gums, and tongue.

Premium Convenience

Because Invisalign trays are removable, brushing and flossing is a breeze. There is no need for specialized tools. Simply clean your teeth like you always do.

Reduced Risk

Normal braces can break, requiring patients to rush to a dental visit for repair. Invisalign's plastic aligners do not require these emergency appointments.

Better Health

Studies have found that compared to traditional braces, clear aligner therapy leads to improved oral hygiene, periodontal health, and an absence of soft tissue irritation. 

No Dietary Restrictions

Patients who wear traditional metal braces must avoid certain foods to prevent their brackets from breaking. With Invisalign, you can remove your aligners and eat what you like.

Invisalign Myths Debunked

You Need an Orthodontist for Invisalign

Because orthodontists are linked to regular braces, some patients mistakenly believe Invisalign treatment can only be administered by an orthodontist.

In truth, dentists like Dr. Mortensen are perfectly capable of being trained to provide Invisalign.

This is a comfort for many of our patients who desire Invisalign. It means they can continue to be treated by Dr. Mortensen instead of having to see an unfamiliar orthodontist to straighten their teeth.

It Can Be Too Late for Invisalign

Orthodontic treatments like braces and Invisalign are frequently associated with straightening teenagers' teeth. Unfortunately, this leads some adults to think they are just too old for Invisalign.

It is important to know there is no maximum age limit for receiving Invisalign. Many teens and adults benefit from Invisalign treatment every year.

In fact, Invisalign may be preferable for adult patients. You can achieve straighter teeth without having to wear easily visible adult braces.

A Beautiful Smile in Just 12-18 Months Contact Us to Start the Treatment Process

Bite Modeling

Before your new Invisalign trays can be made, our Fountain Valley, CA, team must create a model of your bite with our advanced scanning technology. This model is then sent to a dental lab.

Aligner Fabrication

A trained dental lab technician will use your bite model to craft your custom aligner trays. They will be made according to Dr. Mortensen's specific guidelines.

First Fitting

Once your aligners are ready, you will visit our office in Fountain Valley, CA, for a fitting. During this appointment, our dentist will offer guidance on how to achieve optimal results with Invisalign.

Active Treatment

You will now begin to wear your new aligner trays for at least 22 hours every day. You will switch from one tray to the next in your series every few weeks. Aligners should only be removed at mealtimes and when brushing or flossing.

Maintaining Your Results

In 18 months or less, you will have a beautiful, straight smile! To maintain your results, you will need to wear a retainer. We will provide you with plenty of guidance to make sure your smile stays aligned.

Paying for Invisalign

Dental Insurance and Invisalign

Many dental insurance companies partially cover Invisalign treatment. However, your benefits will ultimately depend on your specific plan. During a consultation at our practice, we can file all necessary paperwork on your behalf.

Flexible Financing Options

If you do not have insurance, or if insurance only covers a portion of your aligner treatment, talk with our team about flexible payment options. Our experts can help you find a financing solution to meet your needs.
