Clear Aligners & Invisalign® in Kenner, LA
Straightening your teeth without the hassle, pain, and obvious drawbacks of metal braces is now a reality for teens and adults with clear aligner therapy. Clear aligners can correct a wide range of problems with your teeth without having to wear metal brackets and wires that are bulky, unattractive, and uncomfortable.
At Lakeside Dental Care, we have chosen Invisalign® clear aligners for our patients due to their superior comfort, affordability, and exceptional results. Invisalign aligners are a comfortable, efficient choice for clear aligners that are easy to take in and out without being a hindrance to regular activities like eating or playing sports. We’ll find your perfect fit so that your Invisalign aligners fit snugly while putting you on the path toward a perfect smile!
How Does Invisalign® Work?
Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, removable clear trays that gently shift your teeth into the desired position over time. Each aligner is worn for about one to two weeks before moving to the next in the sequence. Because the trays are nearly invisible and can be taken out for eating, brushing, and flossing, they fit easily into everyday life. We map out your plan using advanced 3D imaging, so you can preview your expected results before you even start.
What Can Clear Aligners Fix?
Adults and responsible teens can have most mild to moderate orthodontic problems corrected with clear aligners, including:
- Crooked or misaligned teeth
- Overbite, underbite, or crossbite
- Open bite
- Gapped teeth
- Crowded teeth
- Midline movements
However, if your orthodontic issues are severe or you also need orthognathic surgery, you may need metal braces. Invisalign clear aligners are usually not recommended for treating large gaps or teeth that are severely deteriorated or misshapen. We can evaluate your teeth and determine whether clear aligners are the right choice for you.
How Long Does It Take?
Treatment time depends on the complexity of your case, but most patients complete Invisalign in 6 to 18 months. You’ll wear your aligners for 20–22 hours a day, only removing them for meals and oral care. Regular check-ins with us will help us track your progress and keep your smile moving in the right direction.
What Happens After Treatment?
Once your teeth are in their final position, you’ll need a retainer to maintain your new smile. Retainers prevent teeth from shifting back, but in most cases, you will only have to wear them at night. We will guide you on how often to wear them and provide a custom fit to keep your results lasting for years to come.
