A Discreet & Comfortable Way to Straighten Your Smile
If you’re looking for a clear, removable alternative to traditional braces, Invisalign® clear aligners may be the perfect solution. At Caring Dental in Herndon, VA, Dr. Ashraf Adam offers custom-made Invisalign aligners to gradually straighten teeth while maintaining a natural, wire-free look.
These virtually invisible aligners are designed for comfort and convenience, making them an excellent choice for adults and teens who want a more flexible orthodontic solution.
How Does Invisalign Work?
Invisalign uses custom-fitted, clear plastic aligners to gently shift teeth into alignment over time. Patients receive a series of aligners, which are changed every two weeks to gradually move teeth into their correct position. Treatment typically lasts nine months to over a year, depending on the case.
Benefits of Invisalign Over Traditional Braces
1. Virtually Invisible
The clear aligners are discreet and unnoticeable, allowing you to straighten your teeth without metal brackets or wires.
2. Removable & Convenient
Unlike braces, Invisalign aligners can be removed for eating, brushing, and special occasions, making them easier to maintain.
3. Comfortable & No Metal Irritation
Made of smooth plastic, Invisalign aligners eliminate discomfort caused by metal brackets and wires.
4. Fewer Dental Visits
Aligners are pre-planned, so fewer office visits are required compared to traditional braces.
✔ Must be worn at least 22 hours per day for effective results.
✔ Not suitable for severe misalignment cases that require traditional braces.
✔ Aligners need regular cleaning to prevent staining.
Treatment typically lasts 9 to 18 months, depending on the complexity of the case. During your consultation, Dr. Ashraf Adam will provide a customized treatment plan with an estimated timeframe.
Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign allows you to eat whatever you like since the aligners are removable. However, it’s essential to remove them before eating and clean your teeth before reinserting them to prevent staining or plaque buildup.
There’s no way to give exact numbers without knowing what your teeth need. It would help if you spoke with your dentist or orthodontist to get a reasonable price estimate.
