Invisalign Services in Tracy, CA

What is Invisalign?

Instead of metal brackets and wires, Invisalign uses removable, clear plastic aligner trays to straighten your teeth and improve your bite. Invisalign near-invisible aligners are just as effective as traditional braces, but they remain almost undetectable, and most people won’t even know you’re wearing them.

How does Invisalign work?

To create your Invisalign treatment plan, Dr. Singh takes a series of 3D images of your teeth. With these images, a lab is able to produce a series of aligners custom-made for your teeth that will gradually shift them into an optimal alignment over time.

About every two weeks, you swap out your aligning trays for a new set — each set creates incremental shifts in the position of your teeth. You wear the aligners for 20-22 hours a day, but they can be taken out to eat and drink, and to brush and floss your teeth.

How long does Invisalign take?

Every patient is different, of course, but treatment for most people takes about 10-24 months. Adults who need only slight adjustments to their bite or just a small degree of straightening may only need to wear the aligners for a few months.

What are the benefits of Invisalign?

With Invisalign, there’s no need to return to the dentist every couple of weeks for adjustments. What’s more, because there are no metal braces or wires that can break, you won’t need any emergency repair trips to the dentist. Plus, Invisalign can make you less self-conscious and much happier about your appearance during treatment.
