Straighten Your Smile Comfortably and Discreetly with Invisalign Treatment
If you have crooked, overcrowded, or gapped teeth, Invisalign from Fair Oaks, California, can correct your smile comfortably and discreetly. Invisalign treatment from Orcutt Family Dentistry uses a series of see-through customized aligners to straighten your teeth. There are no metal wires or brackets, just custom-fitted clear aligners.
Dental issues that Invisalign can fix
Invisalign system has come a long way since it was introduced to the market in the early 2000s. Then, Invisalign emerged as a solution for addressing minor orthodontic concerns or for realigning teeth that had shifted back after failing to use a retainer.
Today, Invisalign is as effective as traditional braces, and your dentist can recommend this orthodontic system to correct issues like:
- Gapped teeth
- Overcrowded teeth
- Bite issues, including overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites
- Misaligned or crooked teeth
Not sure if you are a suitable candidate for Invisalign? The best way to find out is by scheduling an appointment with an Invisalign provider like Dr. Brian Orcutt. Our dentist will evaluate your bite, teeth, and overall health to determine your candidacy for Invisalign.
Invisalign® Before and Afters at Orcutt Family Dentistry
- This patient came to me asking if I could give her straight teeth using Invisalign
- She had previously been told she was not a candidate for Invisalign.
- She was in Invisalign aligners for just over 1 year.
- This patient wanted to straighten her teeth because they were slowly becoming more crooked.
- You can see she has a much wider smile now than before.
- We also whiten teeth for free during Invisalign treatment; you can see the difference it made in this case.
- This patient is an airline pilot and wanted to straighten his teeth because he had gum surgery due to his bad bite and didn’t want to go through that again. He understands that you are less likely to have gum recession and need gum surgery if you have a good bite.
- You can see his before and after smiles are different. His new smile is much broader, and his teeth are much better aligned.
- This patient asked me what we could do regarding his crooked teeth. He was also having problems breaking his back teeth.
- We discussed how a bad bite will cause teeth to chip and fracture as well as cause gum disease. I explained how straight teeth just last longer for people. Their teeth break less often, they have less gum disease, and they spend less time (and money) in a dental chair than someone with crooked teeth.
- We used Invisalign to straighten his teeth and give him a better bite. It took us just under two years to finish his case.
What can I expect from Invisalign treatment?
After an initial consultation with Dr. Orcutt, we’ll take digital impressions of your smile using an intraoral scanner. Unlike goop-based impressions, digital impressions are comfortable, precise, and offer real-time results.
After impressions, our dentist uses sophisticated Invisalign technology to simulate your treatment plan, mapping out the step-by-step movements of your teeth. Next, we send the digital records to an Invisalign lab to craft your customized aligners.
When you receive your aligners, you must wear them 20-22 hours daily. Only remove them when eating or brushing your teeth. Every 7 days, transition to the next set of aligners in the sequence. This pattern continues until you achieve your optimal alignment.
Your treatment takes 9-18 months, but milder cases only need a few months. Once you complete your treatment, we’ll give you a retainer to maintain your teeth in their newly aligned positions.
