A Clearer Way to a Straighter, More Confident Smile
If you want straighter teeth without traditional metal braces, Invisalign clear aligners may be an excellent option.
Hillside Dental offers Invisalign treatment in Clearfield, Utah for adults and teens who want to improve crowded, crooked or spaced teeth using a clear, removable orthodontic treatment.
Invisalign uses a customized series of clear aligners to gradually move your teeth into planned positions while fitting conveniently into everyday life.
What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that uses custom-made clear aligners instead of traditional brackets and wires.
The aligners fit closely over your teeth and apply controlled pressure to gradually move them. As treatment progresses, you change to new aligners that continue guiding your teeth toward their planned positions.
Because Invisalign aligners are clear and removable, they provide a discreet option for straightening your smile.
What Can Invisalign Help Correct?
Depending on your individual needs, Invisalign may help improve:
- Crooked teeth
- Crowded teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Uneven tooth alignment
- Certain overbites
- Certain underbites
- Certain crossbites
- Open bites
- Teeth that have shifted after previous orthodontic treatment
Every smile and bite is different. Hillside Dental will evaluate your teeth, gums, alignment and bite to determine whether Invisalign is appropriate for you.
Your Invisalign Treatment
Invisalign Consultation
Treatment begins with an evaluation of your teeth, gums, alignment and bite. We will discuss what you would like to change about your smile and determine whether Invisalign may be appropriate.
Personalized Treatment Plan
Your treatment is planned around the specific movements needed to improve your tooth alignment and bite.
Your Clear Aligners
You will receive customized aligners designed specifically for your treatment. Each set is worn according to your dentist’s instructions before moving to the next stage.
Progress Appointments
Periodic appointments allow Hillside Dental to monitor your progress and make sure your treatment is moving forward as planned.
Maintaining Your New Smile
After Invisalign treatment is completed, retainers are generally recommended to help maintain the new position of your teeth.
Invisalign and Cosmetic Dentistry
Invisalign can be completed as a standalone treatment or incorporated into a more comprehensive cosmetic dentistry plan.
Some patients straighten their teeth first and then consider professional teeth whitening, porcelain veneers or another cosmetic treatment.
Planning these treatments together can help create a coordinated approach to alignment, color, shape and overall smile appearance.
Frequently Asked Questions About Invisalign
Am I a candidate for Invisalign?
Many adults and teens with crowded, crooked or spaced teeth and certain bite concerns may be candidates. An evaluation is needed to determine whether Invisalign can appropriately address your specific needs.
How long does Invisalign take?
Treatment time varies depending on the amount and complexity of tooth movement required. Your personalized treatment plan will provide a better estimate.
How often do I wear my Invisalign aligners?
Clear aligners generally need to be worn for most of the day and night and removed primarily for eating, drinking anything other than water, brushing and flossing. Follow your dentist’s specific instructions.
Can I eat normally with Invisalign?
Because Invisalign aligners are removable, you take them out while eating. This means you generally do not have the same food restrictions associated with traditional braces.
