The Gentle Dentist of Newport Beach, Dr. Abrak Etemad can give you the smile you have been looking for in Newport Beach. Without the use of metal braces, Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment method that straightens teeth. A set of custom-made, clear, BPA-free plastic braces called Invisalign covers your teeth and gradually shifts them into the right position. Compared to conventional metal braces, Invisalign trays are less apparent because they are clear and removable.
Who can wear Invisalign?
Why are patients turning from traditional braces to Invisalign?
There are some benefits to invisalign aligners in comparison to traditional braces. Here is a list of the benefits:
They are invisible in the mouth. The patient can easily use them during the day in office, in gyms, meetings and gatherings.
They are easier to talk to when a patient wears them in comparison to metal braces.
In order to create a custom treatment plan for you, we will examine your mouth at your consultation session and take X-rays and a scan of your teeth that creates a 3-D model of your teeth. Your treatment plan specifies how your teeth must move and how long it will take for them to be precisely aligned. Your customized aligners (clear trays) are made in the Invisalign laboratory using an X-ray, 3-D scan, and photos of your teeth. The Itero scanner will provide photos of your teeth before and after treatment on the same day as your appointment. As a result, immediately before starting your treatment plan, you will have a concept of how your teeth will look.
