Invisalign Highland Park - Invisible Braces Highland Park, NJ

Discreetly Straighten Your Smile With Invisalign®

When it comes to straightening your smile, traditional metal braces are often recommended. However, many of today’s patients are looking for a way to discreetly straighten their smiles without metal braces. Metal braces often aren’t pleasing to the eyes and usually take years to straighten.

Furthermore, living with misaligned teeth can negatively impact your oral health as well as your self-esteem. At Lasting Smiles of Highland Park, Dr. Anand offers Invisalign as an alternative to traditional braces.

What Is Invisalign?

Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign® is a series of custom-made, computer-generated clear plastic aligners that gradually move your teeth into their proper position. The aligners use the right amount of force to move your teeth into the desired position at the right place and time. This provides patients with a clear, comfortable solution to straighten their teeth discreetly and without changes in their diet.

Benefits of Invisalign

Invisalign offers a variety of benefits to patients, including:

Comfort — Designed for your smile, your Invisalign aligners will snugly, and comfortably fit over your teeth.
Fast — Invisalign treatment is two times faster than traditional braces.
Discreet — Your clear aligners are nearly invisible to the point you won’t have to hide your smile.
Removable — It’s necessary to wear your aligners for at least 22 hours a day, however, you can remove them when you eat, drink, or practice oral hygiene.
Predictable — During your consultation, Dr. Anand will show you what your smile will look like after the treatment.

Reasons for Invisalign

At Lasting Smiles of Highland Park, we may recommend Invisalign for a variety of reasons. Invisalign can correct many orthodontics issues such as:

Overcrowding
Crossbite
Underbite
Open bite
Gapped teeth

Orthodontic issues can make it difficult to properly clean your mouth and can increase the chances of oral health issues such as decay, cavities, and gum disease. With a straighter smile, your teeth become much easier to clean and are less susceptible to tooth decay.

Invisalign Treatment Process

Initial Consultation

During your initial consultation, you’ll get the chance to discuss your needs with our team and determine if Invisalign is right for you. We can answer any questions, like the price and how long the treatment will take. Our team can even show you what your teeth will look like after treatment before the treatment even starts!

We’ll also take X-rays and impressions of your teeth. This helps us create a personalized treatment plan made just for you, taking into account the movement of your teeth and the overall length of treatment.

Starting Your Treatment

We custom-make our aligners in a laboratory using advanced 3D computer imaging technology. Each set of aligners will gently move your teeth into place, resulting in a straighter smile. Every two weeks, we’ll give you a new set of aligners. You’ll come back to our Highland Park dental office as needed for checkups and to track their progress.

Your New Smile

On average, we complete Invisalign cases in 12-18 months depending on the orthodontic situation. Many patients begin to notice results within the first few weeks. We’ll be closely monitoring your progress and make any necessary adjustments if needed. Once the treatment is done, you’ll have a dazzling new smile that you’ll love to show off.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I care for my Invisalign aligners?

Invisalign aligners are easy to care for. Dr. Anand recommends following these instructions to keep your aligners in good condition:

Rinse your aligners every time you remove them. This helps your tray remain clean and free from bacteria and debris.
Soak your trays once a day with an Invisalign soaking solution.
Brush your teeth and aligners twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush.
Remove your aligners when eating or drinking. Certain foods and drinks can stain your aligners.
