Patients in and around Charleston, SC, are experiencing straighter teeth and a healthier bite thanks to Invisalign® specialist Dr. Todd Sander. Invisalign® is an innovative alternative to traditional metal braces, utilizing custom-crafted, form-fitting dental trays. This completely clear and removable solution offers a path to a more beautiful smile and increased confidence. Dr. Sander has been recognized as a premier Invisalign® provider and continues to help patients achieve their desired smiles through this effective clear aligner procedure.
Invisalign® is the latest innovation in tooth straightening systems. Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign® aligners are clear and nearly undetectable. They are conveniently removable for eating, brushing, and flossing, making them a comfortable option, as they are custom-made to fit your teeth. Typically, Invisalign® aligners are worn for about 12 months and are often covered by dental insurance plans that include traditional braces.
Invisalign® is suitable for both teenagers and adults. You may be a candidate for Invisalign® if your teeth are crowded or have uneven spacing. It’s also ideal for adults whose teeth have shifted after wearing braces in their youth.
Only dentists who have been trained and certified can provide treatment with Invisalign®. A certified dentist will assess your teeth and gums to determine if Invisalign® is the right choice for you.
To begin, your dentist will create a mold of your teeth and develop a treatment plan. This mold and treatment plan will be submitted to Invisalign®. Their advanced computer technology will create 3D images of your teeth, which serve as the foundation for designing a precise series of custom aligners.
You will wear the aligners day and night but can remove them for eating and brushing. The aligners are clear and virtually unnoticeable.
Each aligner is typically worn for about two weeks, gradually shifting your teeth in a series of precise increments. Once you’ve achieved the desired results with one aligner, your dentist will provide you with the next aligner in your series.
Invisalign® is an excellent alternative for those who prefer not to wear traditional metal braces. It offers comfort and discretion while effectively straightening your teeth and enhancing your smile.
