Ideal Arlington Patients for Invisalign® Clear Aligners

Invisalign® is an excellent choice for many Arlington residents, but it’s particularly ideal for:

Busy Professionals

If you’re looking for a discreet, hassle-free way to have your teeth straightened without interrupting your busy schedule, Invisalign® offers a nearly invisible solution that fits seamlessly into your life. Whether you’re navigating the corridors of the Pentagon or working from one of Arlington’s bustling co-working spaces, Invisalign® lets you focus on what matters most without the distraction of traditional braces.

Teens and Adults

Since Invisalign® braces provide a clear path to a straighter smile, teens can now avoid the look of metal braces while providing adults with a subtle option for professional or social situations. As a result, you can confidently attend local events like the Arlington County Fair or enjoy a night out at Clarendon Ballroom without worrying about your orthodontic treatment.

Patients with Previous Orthodontic Treatment

If you’ve had braces before and your teeth have shifted over time, Invisalign® clear braces help you regain a straight smile without going through traditional braces again. With Invisalign®, you can reclaim your smile and maintain it, all while enjoying the convenience of local care right here in Arlington.

The Invisalign® Treatment Process

1

Initial Consultation and Evaluation

Your Invisalign® journey begins with an initial consultation. Our team will evaluate your dental needs, discuss your goals, and determine if Invisalign® is the right option for you. By doing so, we can understand your lifestyle and preferences, allowing your treatment to meet your specific needs.

2

Custom Treatment Plan Creation

Based on your consultation, we’ll create a custom treatment plan that includes a series of clear aligners designed to gradually move your teeth into the desired position. Using up-to-date dental technology, your aligners are crafted with precision, providing a comfortable and effective treatment experience.

3

Regular Check-ups

Once your aligners are ready, you’ll switch to a new set approximately every two weeks, with each set moving your teeth closer to the final result. Regular check-ins with our team will guarantee that your treatment stays on track and any adjustments are made promptly.

The Invisalign® Treatment Process

Duration of Treatment and Factors

On average, treatment takes about 12 to 18 months, though some patients may see results sooner. Factors such as the severity of misalignment and your commitment to wearing the aligners as directed will affect the overall treatment time. Our team will guide you every step of the way, making sure you’re informed and comfortable throughout the process.

Adjusting to Wearing Aligners

While they’re designed for comfort, slight pressure is normal as your teeth begin to shift. Don’t worry—you’ll quickly adapt, and before you know it, wearing your aligners will become second nature.

Tips for Maintaining Invisalign® Aligners and Oral Hygiene

To keep your aligners and teeth in top shape:

Remove your aligners when eating or drinking anything other than water.
Brush your teeth before putting your aligners back in to maintain oral hygiene.
Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and clear, unscented soap for cleaning your aligners.

These simple steps will help you keep your aligners clear and your smile bright throughout your treatment.

Post-Treatment Care and Maintaining Your New Smile

After treatment, you’ll receive a retainer to help maintain your new smile. Wearing the retainer as directed will prevent your teeth from shifting back. Regular dental check-ups at our Arlington office will also help keep your smile healthy and beautiful for years to come.
