Invisalign & Clear Aligners for Kids and Adults

Clear Aligners and Invisalign at Washington Orthodontics

At Washington Orthodontics we offer Invisalign treatment to Teens and Adults. Clear Aligners are an alternative orthodontic treatment method to braces. Invisalign and clear aligners are innovative orthodontic treatments that use a series of custom-made, transparent trays to gradually shift your teeth into their desired positions. These aligners are removable, allowing for easier eating and cleaning compared to traditional braces. They’re designed to be virtually invisible, making them an attractive option for those who want to improve their smile without drawing attention to their orthodontic treatment.

This digital plan allows us to show you a preview of your expected results and provides a clear timeline for your treatment.

Starting Your Aligner Treatment

Once your custom aligners are ready, we’ll provide you with your first set and guide you through the wearing process.

Regular check-ups at Washington Orthodontics will allow us to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan. These appointments ensure your teeth are moving as expected and give you the opportunity to discuss any concerns. Even after your active treatment is complete, we’ll provide retainers and schedule follow-up appointments to maintain your new smile.

FAQs About Invisalign & Clear Aligners

How long does Invisalign take?

At Washington Orthodontics, we’ve seen Invisalign treatments range from 6 to 18 months, depending on individual needs. Your treatment duration will be influenced by factors like the complexity of your case and how consistently you wear your aligners. During your consultation, we’ll provide a personalized timeline based on your unique smile goals.

Can Invisalign fix overbite?

Absolutely! Invisalign has come a long way and can effectively correct many overbite cases. At Washington Orthodontics, we use Invisalign’s advanced technology to create precise tooth movements, often incorporating special attachments or elastics for optimal results. We’ll assess your specific overbite during your consultation to determine if Invisalign is the right solution for you.

Is Invisalign cheaper than braces?

The cost of Invisalign at Washington Orthodontics is often comparable to traditional braces, with the exact price depending on your individual treatment plan. While Invisalign may sometimes be slightly higher in cost, many of our patients find the added comfort and discretion well worth it. We offer flexible payment options to help make your ideal smile affordable.

How to clean Invisalign aligners?

Keeping your Invisalign aligners clean is simple and crucial for your oral health. We recommend rinsing them every time you remove them and gently brushing them with a soft toothbrush and lukewarm water. For a deeper clean, you can use the Invisalign cleaning system or a mild antibacterial soap – just avoid hot water as it can warp the plastic.

Are clear aligners better than braces?

At Washington Orthodontics, we believe that both clear aligners and braces have their strengths – the best choice depends on your specific needs. Clear aligners offer advantages like improved aesthetics, comfort, and easier maintenance of oral hygiene. During your consultation, we’ll help you weigh these factors against your orthodontic needs to determine the best treatment for your unique smile.

Do clear aligners hurt?

While clear aligners are generally more comfortable than traditional braces, you might feel some pressure when you switch to a new set – this is actually a good sign that your treatment is working! Any discomfort typically subsides within a few days as your mouth adjusts. If you ever experience persistent pain, our Washington Orthodontics team is just a phone call away to provide guidance and support.

We’ve been really happy with Dr Sung and his team. They’re always super friendly, flexible, personable and very professional! We’ve had 2 treatments with Washington Orthodontics (one for a cross bite, and the other for braces). On both occasions we’ve been extremely happy and have no hesitations in recommending them.
