Are you tired of feeling self-conscious about your smile? Do you want a more discreet way to straighten your teeth? If so, Invisalign could be the perfect solution for you. These aligners are made of durable plastic trays that gently move your teeth into the desired position. The best part is that Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible due to their clear and thin design. They are also comfortable and removable, allowing you to eat and brush your teeth without any inconvenience. With Invisalign, you can keep your normal routine and watch your teeth transform right before your eyes with Invisalign.

Prior to starting your treatment, you will have an opportunity to discuss your desired smile outcomes with Dr. Naylor. He will carefully examine your bite and smile to determine if Invisalign is the appropriate solution for you. This is also a great time to ask any questions you may have regarding your smile, Invisalign, or other available treatment options.
Once you have been given the green light to proceed with Invisalign, Dr. Naylor will take scans or impressions of your teeth to ensure your aligners fit perfectly. Once your aligners are ready, you will visit our office to pick them up and begin your treatment. In some cases, Dr. Naylor may need to attach small fixtures to your teeth to aid in keeping the aligners securely in place.
While every treatment timeline is unique, you’ll most likely stop by our office every six weeks to pick up your next set of aligners. These check-ups are crucial as they ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned and that your Invisalign trays are fitting correctly.

The process begins with taking scans of your teeth to create a digital model of your mouth. This model is then sent to a local lab, where the aligners are crafted using computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) technology. These tools enable the creation of highly precise aligners tailored specifically to your needs. Once the aligners are completed, they are sent to Dr. Naylor to be fitted and delivered to you.
Invisalign aligners are made of clear, thin plastic, making them virtually invisible when worn. Each tray is custom-made to fit your gum line seamlessly. However, if you eat or drink with your aligners in, they may become stained, potentially making them more noticeable.
Invisalign attachments, also known as buttons, are small tooth-colored composite resin dots placed on your teeth. When you insert your Invisalign aligners, they snap over these buttons, providing an anchor to keep the aligners securely in place. This allows Dr. Naylor to adjust the position of your teeth more precisely and effectively throughout your Invisalign treatment.
If you lose your aligners or notice any cracks, damage, or wear and tear, please contact us immediately. Delaying assistance could prolong your treatment and reverse the progress you have made. We will ensure you receive a fresh set of trays as soon as possible, allowing you to continue with your treatment plan.
Invisalign is generally more comfortable than traditional braces, but you may experience some tenderness and soreness as your teeth start to shift. The gentle pressure exerted by the aligners prompts your tooth roots to move, leading to minor inflammation and discomfort. If you experience pain, we suggest taking Tylenol rather than ibuprofen, as ibuprofen’s anti-inflammatory properties can affect tooth movement.
If you don’t have severe oral health or orthodontic issues, Invisalign could be the right solution for your smile. However, if your dentist identifies extensive orthodontic problems, they may recommend metal or ceramic braces instead.
