Invisalign in Bala Cynwyd, PA

Invisalign is a set of clear aligners custom-made to fit your mouth. The aligners are removable, so you can take them off when you eat, brush and floss your teeth. This makes them a convenient option for busy adults.  

Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that uses clear aligners to straighten teeth. At The Dental Spa, we have these aligners custom-made from thermoplastic material to fit your teeth. Invisalign treatments are a popular alternative to traditional braces because, unlike braces, they are virtually invisible, so you don’t have to worry about them being noticeable. 

The Invisalign journey begins with a consultation with an Invisalign-trained dentist or orthodontist. During this visit, the dentist will assess the patient's health and discuss their smile goals and expectations. A customized treatment plan will then be created if Invisalign is deemed suitable for the patient's specific orthodontic needs. 

Traditional dental impressions are replaced by digital scans, creating a 3D model of the patient's teeth. This digital model enables the dentist to visualize the teeth's movement throughout the treatment. After completing Invisalign treatment, the dentist can also use the software to show the patient a virtual representation of their final smile. 

Based on the digital treatment plan, a series of custom-made aligners is then fabricated using advanced computer technology. Each set of aligners is designed to gradually apply gentle and controlled pressure on specific teeth to shift them into their desired positions.  

The patient wears each set of aligners for about 20 to 22 hours daily, removing them only for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. Following the prescribed wear schedule is essential to achieve the desired results within the estimated treatment timeline.
