At Greenway Dental Group of Greenbelt, Maryland, our dentists know that asking about orthodontic treatment brings to mind years of metal bracket-and-wire braces to get the results you want. But thanks to continued improvements in the field of orthodontics, patients now have other options to choose from. This includes Invisalign, a clear aligner therapy option for both teenagers and adults, allowing an alternative solution to get the results you want–without the embarrassment. When you find an Invisalign provider, you know you are in the right hands!
Our team describes Invisalign as an orthodontic treatment that utilizes a series of custom-made, clear aligners to gradually move teeth into their desired position. This innovative technology eliminates the need for traditional metal brackets and wires, making it a popular solution for our patients who want to straighten their teeth without drawing unwanted attention to their smiles.
The process starts with a consultation at our practice, where we will assess your individual case and determine if Invisalign is the right option for you. If so, we will take impressions of your teeth and create a digital 3D image to map out the precise movements needed to achieve your desired results.
Based on this information, a series of custom-made aligners is created specifically for your treatment plan. Each aligner is worn for approximately two weeks before being swapped out for the subsequent tray in the series. This gradual change gently shifts your teeth into their desired position over time without requiring regular adjustments like traditional braces.
Invisalign is suitable for most teenagers and adults who want to straighten their teeth, correct minor bite issues, and close gaps in their smiles. However, it might not be appropriate for more complex orthodontic cases. Our team will assess your individual case during the consultation and determine if you are a good candidate.
Invisalign is a wonderful option for many of our patients, and we encourage you to talk to our team at Greenway Dental Group. We are located in Greenbelt, MD, at 7525 Greenway Center Drive, Suite 102, and we encourage you to schedule an appointment by calling (301) 778-2806.
