About Invisalign

We Are A Certified Invisalign Provider

Consider Invisalign treatment to get the beautiful straight teeth you’ve always wanted — without braces. A free consultation with our team can determine if Invisalign clear aligners are right for you.

Not only are the aligners virtually invisible, they are removable, so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment. Plus, brushing and flossing are no problem. They are also more comfortable than traditional braces, with no metal or wires, which also usually means you spend less time in our office getting adjustments. Invisalign treatment also allows you to view your own virtual treatment plan when you start so you can see how your straight teeth will look when your treatment is complete.

How Does Invisalign Work?

You wear each set of aligners for about a week, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. As you replace each aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will move — little by little, week by week — until they have straightened to their final positions. You’ll visit us about once every six weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned. Total treatment time averages nine to 15 months but will vary from case to case.

Invisalign For Kids

Here at Nelson Family Orthodontics, we recognize the significance of orthodontic treatment in promoting a child’s overall well-being and growth. That’s why our practice provides Invisalign — a game-changing method for correcting misaligned teeth and bites in children.

When it comes to orthodontic treatment for our children, Invisalign is a terrific choice that may begin at a young age. Invisalign produces the same excellent outcomes as conventional braces but is more discrete. Early intervention with Invisalign helps children to fix any potential problems before they become larger concerns, allowing them to get a head start on having a beautiful smile with excellent dental hygiene practices over time.

Invisalign First: Designed For Little Smiles

Invisalign First was introduced in 2018 as an orthodontic product specifically for children between the ages of seven and ten. It was designed to target the needs of children who are still developing and whose teeth are still growing in.

With Invisalign First, we can align your child’s teeth while preparing their mouth for incoming adult teeth. It can also assist with arch development, crowding, and alignment. Children are different because their jaws and teeth are still developing, and Invisalign First is personalized for their needs. We understand that children need special attention and care; that’s why we offer Invisalign First as a treatment option for your child.

We start by taking digital scans of your child’s teeth in order to create an individualized treatment plan, so you and your child know what to expect. Plus, they’re removable, so your child can maintain their dental hygiene and don’t have to compromise their diets. This is especially helpful for children who may be picky eaters.

Invisalign For Teens

Invisalign is a very aesthetic option, and patients love that it’s easier to keep their teeth clean. With Invisalign treatment, however, patient compliance is crucial. Patients must wear their aligners according to directions approximately 20 hours per day. Office visits every 2-3 months allow for Dr. Nelson to make sure the trays are fitting well and the teeth are moving as predicted. A quick, free consultation with Dr. Nelson will determine how good of a candidate you are for Invisalign treatment.

Why Consider Invisalign as an Adult?

Invisalign employs a custom-made sequence of thermoplastic aligners to gently move your teeth into position, as opposed to traditional braces, which need to be tightened and adjusted on a regular basis. In addition, nobody will know you’re wearing them. That means no one needs to know you’re getting orthodontic treatment unless you tell them!

The adaptability of Invisalign is also a major selling point for individuals considering it. You can feel at ease straightening your teeth because the aligners can be taken out whenever you’d like. If you have an important event coming up and want to appear your best, you can easily remove your aligner for the occasion and continue with your treatment without skipping a beat.

Furthermore, the fact that they may be removed is quite helpful in avoiding complications with dietary restrictions. If you’re using Invisalign, you can eat whatever you want without worrying about breaking the aligners. Plus, since the aligners can be taken out, brushing, flossing, and using mouthwash can continue as normal, too!

Invisalign aligners are clear, making Invisalign a seamless fit with your lifestyle and day-to-day interactions with others. Invisalign aligners are also removable. Unlike braces, you have the flexibility to eat and drink what you want during treatment simply by removing the aligners when you eat. You can also remove the aligners to brush and floss as you normally would for fresh breath and good oral hygiene. Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign treatment does not use metal brackets or wires that could cause irritation to your mouth. In addition, you’ll spend less time in the doctor’s chair and scheduling appointments, and more time out doing the things you love. Lastly, Invisalign’s technology allows you to view your virtual results and treatment plan before you start your treatment so that you can preview how your straight teeth will look once your treatment is complete.
