Are you considering orthodontic treatment? Take a look at Invisalign! With Invisalign, you get the best orthodontics has to offer with no inconveniences. Dr. Susan Mazzei from West Suburban Oral Health Care is your go-to Invisalign dentist in Naperville, Illinois, who can guide you through this treatment. Here are some questions we’re often asked about our Invisalign services to give you greater insight into what to expect from your treatment.

What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a tried and proven orthodontic system that’s been in use for over 25 years. It uses clear, removable aligners instead of brackets and wires to straighten teeth. These aligners are custom-made for your teeth. Invisalign uses 3D imaging to depict the movements of your teeth to achieve your smile goals. By complying with your treatment guidelines, your smile will be beautifully transformed by the end of your procedure.

Who’s a good candidate for Invisalign?

Invisalign can correct problems with crooked teeth, misaligned bites, gaps between teeth, and overcrowding to make your smile more attractive and even. After a thorough evaluation of your teeth, Dr. Mazzei can determine if Invisalign is a viable option for you. The best Invisalign candidates are those responsible enough to comply with their treatment guidelines.

How does Invisalign work to straighten crooked teeth?

Dr. Mazzei will start with a consultation to examine your teeth. We’ll take 3D images of your mouth, assess the problems that need to be fixed, and discuss the goals you’d like to achieve. If Invisalign is a good fit for you, we’ll outline a treatment plan and customize a series of aligners for your use.

For best results, you’ll need to wear your aligners for a minimum of 20 to 22 hours daily so they can gradually shift your teeth into alignment. You’ll change to a new set of aligners every few weeks to keep your teeth moving until your treatment is complete.

How long will my treatment take?

Invisalign treatments are personalized for each of our patients. Your time frame for completion will depend on your individual orthodontic needs. Average treatment times are 12 to 18 months. Dr. Mazzei can give you a tentative time frame for completion during your consultation.
