Invisalign in Pasadena, TX
Have you ever wished for a straighter smile without all the metal wires and brackets that go along with traditional braces? Invisalign discreet orthodontic aligners are made of a soft, clear material. The virtually invisible aligners are custom made to fit your unique smile. Designed to deliver just the right amount of pressure at the right location and the right time, each set of trays shifts teeth gradually, moving them vertically or horizontally, or if needed, rotating the tooth position.
Invisalign Progression
Typically, Dr. Morales will prescribe a new set of clear aligners every couple of weeks. You will follow a customized orthodontic treatment plan designed by Dr. Morales to move teeth into the desired position gradually. When Invisalign treatment is being mapped out, you will be able to preview your new smile and see how your teeth will move throughout the process with advanced digital tools and imaging.
Taking Care of Your Teeth after Invisalign
To achieve optimal results, we recommend that most patients wear their aligners for at least 22 hours each day. Invisalign should only be removed to brush, floss, and eat. You will have regularly scheduled checkups with Dr. Morales about every six weeks to monitor your progress. Since everyone has a different smile, with varying concerns, Invisalign treatment time depends on your case. However, it usually takes about 12 months for the average adult patient to achieve optimal results. Dr. Morales will determine the exact duration of time needed for everyone. For teens, the treatment time may be quicker!
After completion of Invisalign treatment, it is recommended that a retainer is worn to keep your newly straightened smile in position. It would be a shame to go through the entire treatment process, only to have your smile revert to its former shape due to a lack of proper care.
