Invisalign Treatment

Invisalign is a desirable alternative to traditional metal braces for straightening teeth. When you choose to use Invisalign, a series of progressive aligners are designed to shape your smile. These smooth and comfortable aligners place a small amount of tension on your teeth, gradually pulling them into the desired position over time. Each aligner in a series gradually progresses to your ideal smile and tooth position.

The first step in straightening your teeth is a consultation with Dr. Samer Khattab. At this visit, our office will perform an examination and take dental x-rays to assess the current health and alignment of your teeth. Dr. Samer Khattab will then determine if you are a good candidate for Invisalign and the expected results of this treatment. If Dr. Samer Khattab determines you are a suitable candidate for Invisalign, he will write a prescription which is sent to Align Technology, Inc. Clear aligners will then be individually crafted to mold and move your teeth. Once your aligners are created, our office will confirm they fit your mouth correctly and comfortably and go over a simple treatment process to achieve the desired results.

Invisalign is best used to treat mild to moderate alignment issues. If your teeth are severely misaligned, if you have one tooth that significantly overlaps another, or if you have serious occlusion problems, you may need metal braces or different cosmetic dentistry procedures to aid in correction. Dr. Samer Khattab can help you address any dental concerns that may prevent you from benefiting from Invisalign and assist you in developing an alternative aesthetic dentistry plan to achieve your desired smile.
