Are You a Good Candidate for Invisalign?

Invisalign® is a revolutionary orthodontic treatment that straightens teeth without the need for traditional metal braces. This innovative system uses a series of clear, removable aligners custom-made for your unique smile. At Aqua Dentistry in Midtown San Jose, California, Dr. Aishwarya S. Kumar, DDS, a certified Invisalign provider, offers this cutting-edge treatment to help patients achieve the smile of their dreams. 

Invisalign aligners are made from SmartTrack®, a proprietary material designed for more predictable tooth movements. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign trays are: 

• Nearly invisible, allowing you to straighten your teeth discreetly
• Removable, making it easy to eat, brush, and floss 
• Comfortable, with no wires or brackets to irritate your mouth
• Custom-trimmed to your gum line for optimal comfort and aesthetics 

With Invisalign, you can straighten your teeth in "stealth mode," close unsightly gaps, correct overlapping or crowded teeth, and achieve a beautifully aligned smile without the hassle of metal braces. 

Are You a Good Candidate for Invisalign?

Invisalign is suitable for a wide range of orthodontic issues and can be an excellent option for both teenagers and adults. To determine if you're a good candidate for this process, Dr. Kumar will conduct a comprehensive examination at Aqua Dentistry. This evaluation includes: 

• Assessing your bite, gums, jaws, and overall dental health 
• Taking a digital 3D scan of your mouth 
• Discussing your smile goals and expectations 

Invisalign can effectively treat many orthodontic issues, including: 

• Crooked or misaligned teeth 
• Gaps between teeth 
• Overbites, underbites, and crossbites 
• Overcrowding 

While Invisalign works for about 80-90% of traditional straightening cases, some complex tooth movements, including skeletal discrepancies, may require alternative treatments. During your consultation, Dr. Kumar will provide a personalized treatment plan and show you similar cases that have been successfully treated at Aqua Dentistry. 

Invisalign vs. Other Orthodontic Options 

Invisalign offers several advantages over traditional braces and other orthodontic treatments:

Aesthetics: The clear aligners are virtually invisible, making them an ideal choice for adults and teens who want to straighten their teeth discreetly. 
Comfort: The smooth plastic surface of Invisalign aligners is gentler on your cheeks and tongue compared to metal braces. 
Convenience: You can remove the aligners for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing, allowing you to maintain better oral hygiene during treatment. 
Fewer Office Visits: Invisalign treatment typically requires fewer check-ups than traditional braces, saving you time and hassle. 
Predictable Results: Advanced 3D technology allows Dr. Kumar to plan your treatment with precision, often resulting in shorter treatment times compared to traditional braces. 
Versatility: Invisalign can address a wide range of orthodontic issues, making it suitable for many patients who might otherwise require braces.
