Invisalign From Your Orthodontists in Vernon, Connecticut

Ready to transform your smile? Invisalign & Invisalign For Teens may be your ideal straightening solution.

Able to address a variety of misalignment and bite problems, these aligners enable patients to straighten their smile with speed, comfort and subtlety. In doing so, they’re able to feel confident while speaking, smiling, and laughing, and to keep their careful oral hygiene habits a priority. When paired with a palatal expander for those requiring adjustments to the upper jaw’s width, the comprehensive treatment plan significantly enhances the effectiveness of Invisalign.

How does this process work?

Once you’ve shared your smile goals with us, our team will thoroughly assess the health of your teeth and gums and let you know if you’re a candidate for treatment. If this is the case, we’ll also provide you with a step-by-step outline of the steps involved with this system, a treatment timeline, and the associated cost.

Next, we’ll take a digital scan to create fast, precise 3D images of your teeth, which our team will utilize when creating your customized series of aligner trays. Once your trays are complete, we’ll schedule another visit where we’ll fit you with your first set. After we’ve ensured that they fit well, we’ll explain how to care for your aligners and arrange periodic visits to check on your alignment progress. For those interested in personalizing their treatment, we offer the option of colored Invisalign aligners, allowing you to add a touch of style to your smile correction journey. This unique option lets you maintain the discretion of Invisalign while expressing your individuality through a selection of colors.

Keep in mind that the aligners will need to be changed every one to two weeks, they must be worn for 20 to 22 hours each day, and they should only be removed when you’re drinking, eating, or cleaning your teeth.

How are aligners cleaned?

To keep your trays clean, we recommend brushing and rinsing them with cold water after you’ve brushed your teeth each morning and night. You can also use a retainer cleaner tablet if desired.

Are there any after-care steps required?

Once your treatment is complete, it’s important to ensure that your teeth don’t shift out of their newly aligned positions. To maintain your smile, you will be given a clear, removable retainer. We recommend nighttime use for life, as continual wear of your retainer while you sleep will maximize stability.
