Invisalign Special

Here’s what you can expect with Invisalign® in Issaquah.

Have you ever wondered how Invisalign® works? Invisalign Invisible Braces are designed to gradually and gently move your teeth into place using a series of invisible trays.

Each aligner tray uses subtle pressure to gradually but efficiently:

• Rotate crooked teeth.
• Move teeth into better positions.
• Improve your bite to bring your teeth together in an ideal way.

Your custom aligners are designed to use just the right amount of force in the right place at the right time to create a gorgeously straight stunning smile.

When you shift to the subsequent set of aligners—typically every week to a few days depending on your situation—your teeth progressively move into position, following a custom treatment plan mapped out by Dr. Vanama. Call us today to begin your Invisalign treatment plan!

The Invisalign Treatment Process

• Your First Consultation
  • Dr. Vanama will discuss your goals and needs at your primary consultation and evaluate whether Invisalign Invisible Braces will give you the amazing results you desire.
• Custom Treatment Plan
  • We use high-resolution iTero® digital scanning systems to create fast, precise, 3D digital scans of your teeth. We also take x-rays of your teeth and evaluate your gum condition. Dr. Vanama will map out a detailed treatment plan, including your teeth’s exact movements and how long your treatment will be. You’ll even get to see how your teeth will move and see what your new smile can look like during your FREE Invisalign consultation.
• Option for Orthodontic Acceleration
  • Invisalign Acceleration will help reduce the amount of time you wear your aligners from years to months while still keeping you comfortable. Remember, Acceleration is only available when you see a qualified dentist in person. Acceleration is never available if you order your aligners from a mail-order company.
• Your Clear Aligners
  • Your custom-made aligners will be made of proprietary SmartTrack® material. They’re virtually invisible; most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them. For best results, wear your Invisalign Invisible Braces 20–22 hours a day, taking them out only to eat, brush, and floss. Once your aligners arrive, we will deliver your aligners to you and go over all the instructions to help make your treatment successful.
• Your Progress
  • As you wear each set of aligners, your teeth will smoothly and gradually shift into their correct place. Dr. Vanama may recommend that you switch to a new set of aligners every week and schedule checkups every six weeks or so. You’ll be able to see your progress at every stage! When you are done with all your aligners, Dr. Vanama will do a final check to make sure we’ve achieved your desired results.
• Caring For Your Smile
  • At the end of your treatment, your aligners should have moved your teeth into the final position planned to help create a stable bite and a confident smile. We will then help you maintain your new smile with custom retainers.
