Here at Meister Orthodontics, Dr. Tammy Meister and the entire team are proud to offer a wide array of orthodontic treatments that are sure to give you the straight and healthy smile that you’ve always desired! One of these exceptional orthodontic treatments that we offer in our St. Paul office is Invisalign. Invisalign has quickly become a favorite of our patients because of the many excellent benefits that it provides. If you’re looking for a more discreet orthodontic treatment, we hope that you’ll consider this revolutionary new treatment!
What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign is essentially the alternative to braces, utilizing clear, plastic, removable aligners to provide patients with a much more discreet way of achieving a straighter and healthier smile. Others won’t have any idea that you’re undergoing orthodontic treatment! While these aligners couldn’t appear any more different than traditional braces, they actually work in a similar fashion to braces – applying gentle, controlled forces to gradually move teeth into their intended positions.
What is Invisalign Mandibular Advancement?
Invisalign with mandibular advancement is a great way to fix overbites in tweens and tens while straightening their teeth. Precision wings gradually move the lower jaw. Designed to improve the bite and appearance of the chin.
The Invisalign Process
Invisalign combines the over 100-year-old science of orthodontics with advanced 3-D computer graphics technology to give patients an unparalleled orthodontic experience. Your St Paul orthodontic team will take digital scans of your teeth to help create a treatment plan for a straighter and healthier smile. Invisalign will translate these instructions and craft a series of precisely calibrated aligners (typically anywhere from 12 to 48) that will gradually shift your teeth over time. You’ll wear each set of aligners for two weeks in a designated order, only taking them out for eating or cleaning your teeth. You’ll notice as you move onto each new set that your teeth are slowly, but surely, shifting toward a much more beautiful smile!
It’s important for us to note that Invisalign is intended for patients of all ages if they are a candidate. If you’re interested in Invisalign, we recommend coming in and visiting your St. Paul orthodontist so that we can determine if Invisalign is right for you. While we offer Invisalign for teens and adults, we also provide an Invisalign First treatment that’s perfect for the younger ones in your family.
Why You Should Choose Invisalign!
Our St. Paul and Minneapolis Invisalign treatment offers many different benefits that make it an excellent choice for any suitable candidate. Just a sample of these advantages include the following:
- A Discreet Treatment – Most noticeably (or unnoticeably!), Invisalign will provide a discreet orthodontic treatment. If you’re concerned about braces affecting your appearance or professional image, Invisalign is the perfect choice for you!
- Easier Cleaning – With braces, cleaning around all their different parts that seem to attract food particles and plaque can become quite a chore. With Invisalign, cleaning your teeth is just as simple as ever – just remove your aligners and clean your teeth like you always have!
- More Dietary Options – Keeping braces in perfect working condition requires having to avoid many different foods because of the damage they might do to the brackets or wires. There’s no need for such concern with Invisalign since you’ll just take the aligners out when you eat anyway!
- Improved Comfort – Unlike the mouthful of metal you’ll have with traditional braces, Invisalign utilizes polyurethane plastic aligners that’ll feel much more comfortable in your mouth.
- Protection from Teeth Grinding – If you have a habit of clenching your teeth or grinding them, wearing aligners can actually function as night guards and protect your teeth from excessive wear.
