Invisalign: An Alternative to Traditional Braces in Virginia Beach, VA

Do you often find yourself dreaming about having a beautiful, straight smile that can light up a room? Are you content with the alignment of your teeth? Many adults are unhappy with their teeth, and some are even self-conscious about the image their teeth present. Generally, the go-to option for correcting teeth alignment is traditional braces, but most adults do not want to undergo the treatment. So, is there a way to straighten teeth without traditional braces? Smile by Design, located in Virginia Beach, VA, offers Invisalign, a customized alternative to the metal appliances of regular braces.

What is Invisalign?

Our doctors, caring professionals with years of experience, and their handpicked team of expert practitioners are dedicated to helping every patient achieve their dental goals. We understand that most adults do not wish to deal with the metal brackets and wires of regular braces, as the tension in the wires can become painful, and the look can seem juvenile. This is why we offer Invisalign, which are clear, personalized aligners that fit around the teeth. These aligners are removable, which allows you to continue eating your favorite foods, brush your teeth, etc. Because the sets of aligners are clear, you can maintain a natural look without worrying about people focusing on your treatment.

How Does It Work?

When you come in for an initial consultation, we will examine your mouth and take 3D images of your teeth. We will plan your treatment and send the images to a certified Invisalign laboratory. The professional technicians in the lab will create your customized aligners, and when finished, send them to us. When we receive the sets, we will have you return to our office to pick them up. While you receive your aligners, we will instruct you on which set to start with, how long to wear that set, which aligners to switch to, and so on. Within 9-18 months, you will have a beautiful, straight smile you will be proud to show off to the world.

Straighten Your Smile with Ease with Invisalign.

Having a misaligned or gapped smile is never an easy thing to live with, and you may feel as though you are merely settling for the smile you were given. Though you may have considered straightening your smile, the idea of having a mouth full of metal may have deterred you from seeking the orthodontic treatment you want and deserve. Dealing with wires and brackets associated with traditional braces are never comfortable, and the dietary restrictions are not something to look forward to either. Thankfully, Dr. Stephanie L. Santos and Dr. Vinita John Folck are able to straighten your smile with ease by offering Invisalign to their patients at their Virginia Beach, VA dental office.

The wonderful thing about Invisalign is the fact you are able to align your smile without compromising the way you look. Invisalign works through a series of aligners that gently straighten your teeth, and the aligners sit nearly invisibly on your smile! That way, you are able to get orthodontic treatment without making it blatant. Our doctors will make impressions of your smile, and send that information to have your custom aligners made. The wonderful thing about having your aligners custom made is the fact that your treatment is personalized specifically to you, and it will ensure amazing results. You wear each aligner for a specific amount of time, as no aligner is identical to the other. Each one is indicative of a different step in your treatment process, so when you are finished wearing one aligner, simply apply the next one in the series to continue your treatment!

One of the amazing benefits of Invisalign is that you are able to experience complete dietary freedom. With traditional braces, there are certain foods you cannot eat, as the wires and brackets get in the way. So now, not only is your treatment more comfortable, but it is more enjoyable. Also, you are able to experience better oral health with Invisalign. Any time you need to eat, drink, floss, or brush, simply remove and reapply the aligner when needed!
