Metal braces have their place but aren’t always needed, as many orthodontic issues can be corrected with Invisalign. Instead of metal brackets and wires, Invisalign uses clear, plastic aligners to straighten teeth. With Invisalign technology, we can make your dream smile a reality – without flashing metal every time you smile! A visit to Dr. Sanjay Dhir from Dhir Dentistry in San Diego, California, can determine if you’re a good candidate for Invisalign treatment.
Your Invisalign journey starts with an evaluation by Dr. Dhir and our team to see if you qualify for Invisalign treatment. If so, we’ll use Invisalign technology to create a 3D image of your mouth to plan your treatment. This same technology will help us customize a series of aligners for your use. With custom-fitted aligners, we can achieve the results you desire with greater accuracy and precision.
For optimal results, you’ll need to wear the aligners for 20–22 hours daily, removing them only for eating and brushing your teeth and occasional special activities. When worn, the aligners slowly and gently push your teeth into proper alignment. You’ll change aligners to the next set in your series every two weeks to continue the alignment process until your smile goals are reached.
