If you have been holding back on your orthodontic treatment simply because you don’t want to wear the conspicuous and uncomfortable metal braces, Dr. Mahsa Esfandiari Dental Group offers you the perfect alternative treatment option which is Invisalign clear aligner. This article explains everything you need to know about the Invisalign orthodontic system – from treatment planning to different treatment stages and timelines.
We offer the best Invisalign treatment process with optimal timeline for anyone interested to start the Invisalign journey with us in Los Gatos, Campbell, San Jose, Saratoga, Santa Clara and for anyone near South Bay Area Communities.
Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment system based on removable aligner trays. Unlike metal braces that become visible whenever one speaks or smiles, Invisalign aligners are made from a transparent polymer, making them virtually invisible. As a result, Invisalign aligners will not affect your smile or facial aesthetics when you wear them.
The time required for straightening your teeth with Invisalign depends on multiple factors. The most critical factor is the severity of your orthodontic problem. While minor orthodontic problems can be treated within 6-8 months, the more complex orthodontic issues may take longer – anywhere between 18-24 months.
Similarly, the speed of your treatment also depends on how well you adhere to the dentist’s instructions. If one fails to wear the aligners for the prescribed amount of time or keeps breaking or misplacing their aligners, the treatment duration will naturally be prolonged.
Finally, treatment duration also depends on the skill of the treating dentist. At Dr. Mahsa Esfandiari Dental Group, we take pride in having one of the most skilled and experienced dentists in town. One of our dentists, Dr. Greg Ganji, has the honor of being the first California general dentists to get licensed for Invisalign treatment. So, you can rest assured that you’re in safe and capable hands with us!
This is one of the most commonly asked questions by prospective orthodontic patients. Naturally, every patient wants to get their teeth straightened in as little time as possible. Unfortunately, you may find novice dentists claiming to complete your treatment in unbelievably short durations. They do this by increasing the amount of force applied to your teeth – a practice that can have a disastrous effect on your teeth – leading to various complications such as root resorption, periodontal issues, and even tooth loss! Therefore, it is always a good idea to visit an experienced and qualified Invisalign dentist.
If you want to speed up your treatment progress naturally, the best option is to adhere to your dentist’s instructions strictly. First, you should wear your aligners for at least 22 hours each day. Secondly, ensure optimal oral hygiene through regular brushing and flossing. Finally, you should visit us regularly for checkups so that we can ensure that your treatment is progressing optimally.
In some cases, the treatment duration can also be shortened by reducing the number of teeth that need to be straightened. For example, some dentists can prepare aligners that only straighten the teeth that are cosmetically important – the front six teeth – that are visible whenever one speaks or smiles. However, this is only possible if the primary issue lies with the alignment of front teeth. If the underlying problem is caused by a bad bite, alignment of the entire dental arch would be required, which would naturally take relatively longer.
