Invisalign

Everyone wants an attractive, confident smile. Misaligned teeth can impact self-assurance in school, business, and social situations. But many individuals don’t like the idea of enduring a mouthful of awkward, inconvenient, uncomfortable metal braces for several years. Now you have an alternative – Invisalign!

Your first step toward the smile of your dreams is a consultation at Zen Dental. Dr. Jay Khorsandi is a certified Preferred Provider of Invisalign in the downtown area. He has the comfort level with this treatment that comes from years of experience in successfully transforming smiles, and from staying up-to-date with new techniques. We’ll take impressions of your teeth and send them to Invisalign, along with digital photographs and X-rays of your mouth. Using this information and state-of-the-art imagery technology, their lab will create a digital reproduction of your mouth and then design a series of aligners to gradually straighten your teeth without brackets and wires. You’ll see quick improvement and the finished product in a relatively short period of time. And, you’ll have fewer interim visits than with conventional braces.

Invisalign aligners are clear, comfortable plastic trays. They are similar to the trays used for teeth whitening, but more rigid, applying low pressure to gently move your teeth. You wear the trays throughout the day, and about every two weeks simply switch to the next set. Because of the custom-fit, you’ll look and speak normally with them in, and most people won’t even notice that you are wearing them. The trays may be removed, so you continue to eat the foods you love, keep your smile sparkling clean with regular brushing and flossing, even take them out for a special event!

Perhaps you wore braces as a child. But over the years, once you stopped wearing a retainer, your teeth shifted or crowded. Invisalign is an excellent follow-up to regain that straight, attractive smile.

Invisalign works wonderfully in the majority of cases, from young teens to any age adult. However, for severe bite problems we will happily refer you to a qualified Orthodontist.
