Invisalign by Dr. Laura Peterson, at Silver Sage Dentistry in Fort Worth, TX

For those seeking a discreet, effective way to correct alignment issues, Invisalign® in Fort Worth offers a modern alternative to traditional braces. Invisalign clear aligners are designed for patients who want a nearly invisible solution to treat crooked, crowded, or gapped teeth and bite issues like overbites, underbites, and crossbites.

At Silver Sage Dentistry, Dr. Laura Peterson uses advanced 3D imaging technology to create custom treatment plans, so that patients can visualize the final result even before treatment begins.

How Invisalign Works

Invisalign treatment is straightforward. It involves wearing a series of clear aligners that gradually shift teeth into proper alignment. Each aligner is worn for about two weeks, and as you switch to a new set, you’ll notice your teeth moving into a straighter position.

The aligners are to be worn for about 22 hours daily but can be removed for meals and oral hygiene, allowing you to maintain your regular habits without any restrictions.

Your Invisalign Journey

1. Initial Consultation and Treatment Plan

Evaluation: During the first appointment, your dentist will evaluate your teeth to determine if Invisalign is a good option.

3D Imaging: Using 3D imaging, a customized treatment plan is created. You’ll see a simulation of your teeth’s progress from start to finish.

2. Wearing Your Aligners

Aligner Use: Each aligner must be worn consistently to ensure effective treatment. You can remove them for eating, brushing, and flossing, maintaining your regular oral care routine.

Progress Monitoring: Dr. Peterson schedules periodic check-ins to monitor progress and ensure your treatment stays on track.

Advantages of Invisalign

Choosing Invisalign over traditional braces offers a range of benefits:

Aesthetic Appeal: The nearly invisible aligners provide a discreet way to align teeth, ideal for adults and teens alike.

Comfort: With no metal wires or brackets, Invisalign is more comfortable and less likely to cause irritation.

Convenience: Aligners can be removed so that you won’t face food restrictions, and cleaning your teeth is as easy as before treatment.
