If you’ve been dreaming of a straighter smile, but want to avoid wearing metal braces, Invisalign from Dr. Gino in Ashburn may be right for you.
Fast Treatment
Removable, Invisible Orthodontics
Invisalign is the leading alternative to traditional braces. This orthodontic treatment uses a series of clear aligners to shift your teeth into the perfect position, and they are virtually invisible when worn. If you have minor-to-moderate orthodontic problems and don’t want to wear braces, Invisalign may be right for you.
Invisalign is nearly invisible when worn and does not affect speech, making it a more subtle way to correct your smile.
Most patients with mild to moderate issues can complete their Invisalign treatment within a year.
We do our best to keep our prices reasonable so that you can get the orthodontic treatment you need.
It all begins with a consultation at Dulles Life Smiles. Dr. Gino will examine your mouth to determine if Invisalign is right for you. Then, he will take impressions of your teeth and work with the team at Invisalign to develop your personalized treatment plan.
When your aligners arrive, you’ll wear each set for about 2 weeks for 20-22 hours per day. Then, every 6 weeks, you’ll come back to our office for a quick checkup and we will also give you your next several sets of aligners.
This process will continue until your treatment is complete, which usually takes between 20-24 sets of aligners. This means the average treatment time is under a year, though this may vary.
Compared to braces, Invisalign has a number of benefits. It’s nearly undetectable when worn and does not affect speech. Invisalign is also removable for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing, making it a more convenient option with no dietary restrictions. With traditional braces, brushing and flossing properly can be difficult and time-consuming. Because Invisalign is removable, it will be easier to keep your teeth clean, healthy, and free of tooth decay and gum disease. Aligners are also more comfortable than braces since there are no metal pieces or wires to poke your mouth, and they exert more gentle, even pressure to move your teeth.
If you have minor-to-moderate orthodontic problems like crooked or gapped teeth, but do not have major issues like jaw alignment or bite issues, Invisalign may be right for you. Contact the team at Dulles Life Smiles to schedule your consultation today!
