Invisalign® in Columbus

Do you aspire to achieve a straighter smile without the hassle of conventional braces? Look no further than Olive Branch Dental, where we provide Invisalign, the clear and comfortable alternative to traditional braces.

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign represents a contemporary orthodontic remedy employing a sequence of transparent, removable aligners to progressively adjust your teeth to their proper alignment. Crafted specifically for your unique dental structure, these aligners are nearly undetectable and enable you to sustain your regular eating habits and oral hygiene practices.

Is Invisalign Better Than Braces?

Individual dental needs vary, making the choice of the best treatment option specific to your case. Nevertheless, Invisalign presents several benefits compared to traditional braces:

Discreet: The clear aligners are nearly invisible, allowing you to undergo orthodontic treatment with minimal notice from others.
Comfortable: Invisalign aligners, lacking wires or brackets, are often more comfortable to wear than braces.
Convenient: Aligners can be removed, eliminating dietary restrictions and simplifying oral hygiene routines.
Efficient: In many cases, Invisalign treatment is quicker than traditional braces.

Alternatives to Invisalign

Although Invisalign is an excellent choice for numerous patients, it’s essential to recognize that it’s not the sole route to achieving a straighter smile. At Olive Branch Dental, we prioritize providing the most suitable treatment for each patient’s unique circumstances. Our team is readily available to explore these alternative options with you during your consultation.

What is the Process for Getting Invisalign?

Your Initial Consultation: During your first consultation, we will thoroughly assess your orthodontic requirements and determine if Invisalign treatment is the suitable choice for you.

Your Personalized Treatment Plan: We will employ advanced technology such as the iTero® digital scanning system to create precise 3D digital images of your teeth. Subsequently, we will craft a detailed treatment plan, outlining the specific tooth movements and the estimated duration of your treatment. This plan also includes a visual preview of how your teeth will shift, offering a glimpse of your new smile. Your Invisalign Clear Aligners: Your aligners will be customized using Invisalign’s exclusive SmartTrack® material. They are virtually invisible, making it unlikely for most people to notice that you’re wearing them. For optimal results, it’s crucial to wear these aligners for 20 to 22 hours daily, removing them only for eating, brushing, and flossing. Tracking Your Progress: As you progress through your treatment, each set of aligners will gently and gradually move your teeth into the desired positions. Typically, we may recommend changing to a new set of aligners weekly and scheduling checkups every six weeks or so. Maintaining Your New Smile: Upon completing your treatment, you can inquire about Vivera® retainers. These custom-made retainers utilize the same advanced technology found in Invisalign clear aligners. If you’re interested in learning more about the Invisalign system or exploring various orthodontic treatment options, don’t hesitate to schedule an appointment at our office. We eagerly await the opportunity to meet you and assist you in achieving a smile that’s designed to move!

How Long Do I Need to Wear Invisalign Retainers?

After completing your active treatment phase, the next step involves wearing Invisalign retainers to preserve your newly achieved smile. The duration of this phase differs from person to person, but typically, you can anticipate wearing your retainers full-time for a few months initially, followed by nighttime wear on an ongoing basis.
