Straighten your teeth and enhance your smile with Invisalign – our cosmetic dentistry team helps you choose the best option to align your teeth
Invisalign is a treatment of invisible clear braces that align your teeth. At Salin Dentistry, our cosmetic dentistry team guides you through the Invisalign before and after journey. Invisalign is not a one-size-fits-all. Clear braces are made unique for you! You’ll notice the difference in your smile in no time! The Invisalign process involves several steps. First, we take x-rays, photographs, and digital scans of your teeth. Next, all the information gets sent to the lab, and a computer is used to create a projection of teeth alignment. The 3D printed models are then built in layers using a liquid resin that forms into hard plastic. These aligners are intended to be worn 22 hours a day. As your Invisalign journey progresses, you’ll notice your aligners are straightening the crooked teeth! On average, the process takes 6 to 12 months to complete your beautiful, healthy, straight teeth. Aligners are easy to use. You have to take them out to eat, brush, and floss. They are also effortless to clean. Call us at (661) 323-1000 for a consultation for Invisalign and information on all of your orthodontic options.

The Benefits of an Invisalign Smile
Straight teeth don’t just make your smile better, they also safeguard to overall health
You may be pleasantly surprised to know that the benefits of straight teeth go far beyond a gorgeous smile and additional confidence. According to the American Dental Association, straightening your teeth positively affects your overall dental health. Fortunately, with Invisalign, having a gorgeous smile and reducing the risk of gum disease and tooth decay go hand in hand. Crowded teeth often cause plaque and tartar buildup, gum disease, bone loss, and chewing or digestive difficulties. When a bite is misaligned, it is known as malocclusion and is fixed using Invisalign clear aligners.
Correcting your molars can also affect your general health and well-being. When molars are crowded in your jaw, it can have damaging and expensive effects throughout your entire mouth. This also causes temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain, overly sensitive teeth, excessive wear, loss of tooth structure, and even tooth fractures. If you are interested in a straighter, healthier smile, give us a call to schedule a visit. We’ll help you through your journey towards straightened teeth! As providers of Invisalign, Clear Correct, and traditional braces, we offer options to consider thoroughly.
