Teeth shift throughout our lives. If they didn't, orthodontics wouldn't exist. Invisalign is a straightening system that uses virtually invisible removable aligners that are swapped out every two weeks to give you the smile you've always wanted. Invisalign requires dedication and commitment for those who wish to complete treatment in as little as six months, but they're a more visually appealing and comfortable alternative to traditional braces. If you're up for the challenge, Dr. Young Park can help you get started and teach you about the benefits. At Park Dental, we recommend Invisalign to Roanoke, VA, adults and teenagers with open-bite, under-bite, crossed-bite, and more, in addition to those generally looking for straighter teeth. Give us a call to see if this method is right for you.

Dr. Park will teach you about Invisalign in detail when you visit our Roanoke, VA, office, but we'll begin here with an overview. Invisalign is an alternative to metal braces that most patients adore because it doesn't interrupt their daily lives. Because Invisalign trays are removable and only need to be worn for 20-22 hours a day, you can brush, floss, and consume your favorite foods (and beverages) accordingly. You also don't have to worry about a wire breaking or coming loose, which means less time in the dental chair. Once Dr. Park determines that you're a candidate, he'll take impressions along with 3D images of your mouth. Using special software, he'll map out a treatment plan that demonstrates how your teeth will move during treatment. You'll be able to see your end-results on the screen before the aligners are crafted.
Invisalign delivers smile improvements in as little as six months for mild to severe treatment cases. If you're interested in learning more about this orthodontic method, schedule a consultation with Dr. Young Park. He will walk you through the process of how the aligners are made, how to get optimal use out of wear, and most importantly, how to maintain oral care during treatment.
