Invisalign® is one of the most modern and popular treatment options for straightening teeth. Using custom-made series of aligners, your teeth are gradually and gently shifted into their desired location. These trays eliminate the need for metal brackets and wires that traditional braces offer. With Invisalign®, all you have to do is wear your trays for 20-22 hours a day and change them once every two weeks until your treatment is finished. This allows you to achieve your dream smile with little disruption to your daily life. Because these trays are removable, you can continue to eat your favorite foods and brush and floss normally. The best part? Invisalign® is virtually invisible so most people don’t even realize you’re undergoing treatment!
Our office is proud to announce that Dr. Rocha has extensive experience treating patients of all ages, starting as young as 7 years old! Dr. Rocha attended a rigorous post graduate residency program that has one of the strongest Invisalign programs, being taught under orthodontists who helped create Invisalign! Dr. Rocha introduced the Itero 3-D digital model scanner to Valley orthodontics, which will allow in office scans of patients teeth. No more messy, uncomfortable dental impressions or visits to the lab for digital scans!
Invisalign utilizes 3-D computer imaging technology to transform impressions of your teeth into a series of customized plastic aligners.
Each aligner is worn for approximately two weeks. They are removed only to eat, brush, and floss.
As you replace each aligner with the next, your teeth will move – little by little, week by week – until they reach the final alignment that Dr. Rocha has prescribed.
The number of aligners you wear depends on the severity of crowding or spacing you have.
Invisalign has been proven effective for adults, teenagers, and even children in clinical research and practices nationwide. Dr. Rocha can determine if this treatment is an effective option for you. You can obtain more information at Invisalign’s website, www.invisalign.com.
At Valley Orthodontics, Invisalign costs the same as traditional braces. We want to help our patients choose the treatment that is right for them.
At your inial appointment we will discuss your concerns and determine a treatment plan that is right for you. Next, an appointment for your 3D Invisalign scan can be scheduled as soon as possible. After the 3D scan of your teeth is taken, the file is sent to Invisalign. Working with Invisalign, Dr. Valley determines how your finished result will be accomplished. Once the treatment plan is finalized, the aligners are fabricated and shipped and we can get started.
Each aligner tray set is worn for approximately two weeks. Dr. Rocha will give you 3 to 4 sets at a time, so generally appointments are every 6 to 8 weeks.
Consider Invisalign to get the beautiful straight teeth you’ve always wanted – without braces. A consultation with Dr. Rocha can determine if Invisalign is right for you. Contact us for your Invisalign consultation.
