Enjoy a Better Smile Fast With Invisalign in Richmond

Orthodontic treatment used to mean long months spent hiding your smile because you had to wear unsightly metal braces. You also skipped favorite treats because it wasn’t worth the hassle of trying to remove food from your braces. With Invisalign in Richmond, you won’t have to make unwelcome changes to your lifestyle.

Invisalign treatment is:

Effective – A series of custom aligners, made from a special plastic called SmartTrack^®, move your teeth into their proper positions.
Transparent – Your clear plastic aligners won’t attract attention. They fit snugly over your teeth, blending easily into your smile.
Comfortable – You won’t have to worry about metal brackets and wires irritating your mouth while wearing aligners. Unlike braces, you also won’t need uncomfortable fit adjustments.
Convenient – You can remove your Invisalign aligners for meals. That means you can eat whatever you’d like, including treats like popcorn. Removable aligners also make it easy to brush and floss. No more maneuvering around wires!
Fast – Most Invisalign patients complete their treatment within 12 months.

Call us today at 281-944-4752 to schedule an Invisalign consultation. Dr. Powell can use special software to preview your beautiful smile results.

We’ll Create a Custom Invisalign Treatment Plan for You

Since braces are a standard solution, they often require frequent adjustments. That’s not the case with Invisalign treatment because it moves your teeth using a series of custom-made aligners.

Our dentist create a treatment plan for you, then send specifications to a special lab where the aligners are manufactured. When they arrive, you will:

Visit us for an initial fitting, where we ensure you understand how treatment works and answer any questions you have
Wear your aligners 22 hours a day, taking them out only to eat and to clean your teeth
Switch every 7-14 days. Our dentists will guide you to a straight and beautiful smile.
Visit us every few weeks – less often than you would with braces – so we can ensure your treatment is progressing as planned
Complete your treatment in less time than with braces

In some cases, we may recommend removing a tooth or two to provide the best results. Our dentist can perform a gentle extraction if needed.

Digital Technology Makes the Difference

Unlike braces, Invisalign aligners are based on digital, 3-D technology. Our dentist uses it to:

Make mess-free impressions of your teeth. Digital impressions are quicker and more precise than conventional impressions.
Design your customized treatment plan. Because your aligners are made just for you, they won’t require fit adjustments.
Create a digital preview that will show you how your smile should look following treatment. Whether Invisalign is a standalone treatment or part of a larger smile makeover, we want you to be happy with your results.

Common Questions About Invisalign

Is Invisalign visible?

Barely! When they are not in your mouth, Invisalign aligners resemble very thin, clear mouthguards. Because they are made of clear plastic and fit snugly over your teeth, they are difficult to see when they’re in your mouth. Chances are, many people won’t even realize you are wearing them!

Is Invisalign painful?

Most patients find Invisalign more comfortable than braces. With no metal brackets or wires to rub against your mouth, you’re less likely to experience irritation. Not only that, but Invisalign requires no periodic tightening of archwires to adjust the fit. When you first switch to a new set of aligners, you may feel pressure. We recommend switching right before bedtime to lessen the chance that the pressure will bother you.

How much does Invisalign cost?

Invisalign treatment is a wonderful investment in the look of your smile. The total cost for your treatment may depend on how long your treatment lasts, the shape your smile is in, and other factors. We offer flexible payment options that make your care accessible, including financing through CareCredit.

Why is Invisalign faster than braces?

Most patients who wear their Invisalign aligners for the recommended 20-22 hours a day will complete their orthodontic treatment in less time than with braces. This largely has to do with how Invisalign moves teeth into place. Metal braces move each tooth individually, while aligners apply gentle force to all of your teeth at once.
