Invisalign, A Clear Pathway to Picture-Perfect Teeth

If you’re living with crooked teeth because you don’t want to deal with unsightly, uncomfortable metal braces, we’ve got good news! Invisalign clear aligners can realign your teeth comfortably and discreetly to give you the picture-perfect smile of your dreams. A visit to Dr. Brad Sievert from Westlake Family Dentistry in Lake Oswego, Oregon, can determine if Invisalign orthodontics is a good option for you. 

Problems Invisalign Can Remedy

Like traditional braces, Invisalign can remedy a wide range of orthodontic issues to give you a straighter, more uniform smile. Dr. Sievert will start by evaluating your teeth, gums, jaw, and mouth to assess the problems that need to be fixed. We’ll also get your input on what you’d like to achieve through your treatment. This will enable us to outline a treatment plan you can be happy with. 

The following are some of the problems Invisalign can remedy: 

• Crossbites, open bites, overbites, and underbites – Bite issues can result in worn teeth, painful chewing, jaw problems, speech impediments, and other dental problems
• Gapped teeth – Gaps in your teeth are food traps that can cause plaque build-up on your teeth, putting you at risk of cavities and gum disease
• Crooked, misaligned teeth and overcrowding – Overcrowding can cause teeth to grow crooked or on top of other teeth, forcing nearby teeth out of alignment. Crooked, misaligned teeth can cause problems with uneven wear, oral hygiene, oral infections, and periodontal disease

Advantages of Invisalign 

Invisalign aligners are comfortable because they contain no sharp edges to poke your gums or cheeks. When worn, the aligners gently realign crooked teeth to make them straight and even.  

Invisalign aligners can be removed for eating, brushing teeth, and special occasions like picture-taking. 

Invisalign requires no wire adjustments, so there are fewer dental visits. Dr. Sievert can see you every four to six weeks to monitor your progress.  

Treatments can take as little as 6 months to complete, in some cases,, culminating in the smile of your dreams.
