If you want a straighter smile but do not want to deal with bulky metal braces, Invisalign may be the perfect option for you. Rather than metal wires and brackets to correct dental misalignments, the Invisalign system uses a series of clear aligner trays that are virtually invisible.

What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign is an innovative orthodontic treatment system that fixes misaligned teeth and other types of malocclusions with customized clear aligners. Patients use these nearly invisible aligners to gradually and progressively shift teeth into alignment over the course of treatment.
At Las Vegas Aesthetic Dentistry, Dr. Tati and her team offer Invisalign to patients with mild to moderate dental misalignments who want to improve the appearance of their smile discreetly.
The Invisalign Treatment Process
If you are considering Invisalign in Las Vegas or Henderson, it is important to understand the steps involved in the process. Patient cooperation and consistency are vital to a successful outcome. Here is what you can expect during Invisalign treatment at Las Vegas Aesthetic Dentistry:
1. Initial Consultation
First, you will meet with our expert cosmetic dentist Dr. Tati to assess your smile and the severity of your teeth misalignment. We will discuss the process, your personal goals, and your expected results.
This step will determine if Invisalign is the best choice for you or if other cosmetic treatments, such as porcelain veneers, may work better.
2. Scan Your Smile
To begin the process, our team will use a state-of-the-art digital scanner to get precise images of your teeth. Using these scans, we can create a custom treatment plan and map out what improvements you can expect every step of the way.
3. Pick Up Your Aligners
Based on your treatment plan, a series of clear aligners are custom-designed and delivered to our office. Our team will make sure the aligners fit comfortably during periodic in-person appointments.
4. Wear Your Aligners
Dr. Tati will provide detailed instructions on how to care for your aligners, how long to wear them each day, and exactly when you need to switch to the next tray. Each aligner gently shifts your teeth a little bit further, so you must follow the schedule to keep your results on track.
5. Monitor Your Progress
During visits to our office, we will check your teeth to monitor your progress. We offer hands-on support and guidance during Invisalign treatment to help you stay on top of your goals.
6. Maintain Results
After your Invisalign treatment is complete, and you are happy with your new smile, it is time for retainers. While these plastic retainers are similar to clear aligners, they are designed to maintain results rather than adjust your smile.
Our team will let you know when and how long to wear your retainers to prevent your teeth from shifting back to their original positions.
Benefits of Invisalign Versus Braces
There is a reason why more than 17 million people have trusted Invisalign to straighten their teeth. Not only do you get stunning results with the Invisalign system, but there are also several advantages over traditional braces.
Some benefits of Invisalign clear aligners include:
● More discreet. Invisalign clear aligners are less noticeable than metal or ceramic braces. You can smile confidently during treatment without feeling self-conscious about unsightly orthodontic equipment.
● Comfort. Because Invisalign trays are custom fitted to your mouth, you are less likely to experience irritation or discomfort than you would with bulky brackets and metal wires.
● No dietary restrictions. When you have traditional braces, you must refrain from certain foods to avoid damage and staining. Invisalign clear aligners are removable, which means you can take them out before eating or drinking.
● Quicker results. When patients follow the treatment plan carefully, Invisalign treatment often takes less time than braces to reach the same results.
● Easy cleaning. Removable aligners allow you to keep up with your regular oral hygiene and thoroughly clean the trays before putting them back in your mouth. Braces can make it more challenging to keep your teeth clean.

Invisalign Clear Aligners - FAQs
Am I a Good Candidate for Invisalign Treatment?
You may be an ideal candidate for Invisalign if you suffer from alignment issues, have good overall dental health, and are a responsible patient. Speak with our Las Vegas cosmetic dentist to see if Invisalign is the right choice for your needs.
What Can Invisalign Treat?
Invisalign aligners can treat several common orthodontic issues, including:
● Crooked or misaligned teeth
● Gaps in teeth
● Crowded teeth
● Protruding teeth
● Mild bite issues
How Much Does Invisalign Cost?
The cost of Invisalign depends on several factors, including the type of misalignment, severity of the issue, and treatment time. An initial consultation with our dentist will help us determine the cost of treatment, whether insurance may cover some expenses, and what payment options are available.
Does Invisalign Hurt?
You may experience some pressure or tightness when you switch to a new aligner set. However, this should go away as your teeth adjust to the tray. Talk to your dentist if you have any pain or worsening discomfort during treatment.
How Long Do I Have to Wear the Aligners Each Day?
During treatment, you will need to wear your clear aligners for about 22 hours each day. This means you can only remove the aligners when eating, drinking, brushing, or cleaning the tray. If you leave them out too long, your teeth may shift back and prolong your treatment time.
How Long Does Invisalign Treatment Take?
Treatment expectations vary from patient to patient, including how long it takes to reach optimal results. Some people with mild misalignments may complete treatment in as little as eight weeks. Others will need several months for a successful outcome.
