Invisalign Orthodontics - Only Upside
At WildeWood Aesthetic Dentistry we use two proven methods to create the ideal location for each tooth inside your mouth: traditional orthodontics and Invisalign®. Virtually invisible and convenient for everyday life, Invisalign allows you to improve your smile without having to worry about your appearance. Invisalign offers:
- Advanced Comfort - no longer worry about rough metal brackets or harsh wires that irritate your gums and cheeks
- Unmatched Convenience - with removable aligners, you pop out your Invisalign® braces to eat, brush and floss, then put them back in!
- Faster Alignment - the average Invisalign case lasts 6-12 months; that’s 33-50 percent less than traditional orthodontics!
- Aesthetic Transparency - no one will ever know that you’re even wearing braces; your aligners will be completely concealed from the naked eye
- Better Hygiene - daily brushing and flossing means that you won’t have to worry about cavities when your Invisalign® process is complete
- Precise Predictability - know exactly when your teeth and bite will return to their expected ideal position
Invisalign® is not for everyone, though. Traditional orthodontics excel in correcting serious bite issues. Dr. Justin Griffin recommends that you visit our office to explore the ideal position of your bite and teeth.
Convenient, Comfortable & Effective Bite Alignment
Invisalign is a series of consecutive, removable, transparent aligners that straighten your teeth without compromising the beauty of your smile.
It is an ideal solution for adults and teenagers with smiles that are adversely affected by an excessive overbite/underbite or teeth that are gapped, crowded, misaligned, rotated, broken or fractured. Whereas metal brackets can only pull from one angle, these invisible aligners can generate movement from multiple angles.
The one important prerequisite for Invisalign is that your mouth must be free from cavities. Columbia dentist Justin Griffin begins the process with record-taking that includes digital photos, x-rays and impressions. The impressions are digitally scanned into our powerful CAD/CAM computer where they are manipulated in a 3D environment that you can watch.
The resulting specs are sent to Invisalign’s lab and returned promptly with the correct dimensions and number of aligners needed to help achieve the movement prescribed by Dr. Griffin - our Blythewood dental specialist. You will know approximately how long the entire process will take before you even attach your first aligner!
