Invisalign in Orland Park, IL
 You can have the smile you want, without the hassle of braces.
Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment option that utilizes a series of silicone appliances to close gaps, and fix many malocclusion disorders without the struggle of brackets and wires. Our patients love the Invisalign difference with the freedom to have discreet cosmetic care faster and easier.
Our team at Orland Dental Care invites you to learn more about Invisalign and how you can have a beautiful smile.
Invisalign treatment uses a device designed to make tiny movements in your teeth by applying firm pressure. Treatment includes a series of multiple silicone retainer-like devices that are worn in succession for a brief time, approximately two weeks. Each device is designed to apply pressure to specific teeth in a specific order until the end goal is finally achieved.
Invisalign Facts
When considering your options, we invite you to review the following facts.
| • |
Look and Function: Most of us consider the look that we want to achieve, but improving your alignment also carries many functional benefits. You may find that you are able to chew more evenly, chew a wider range of foods, and even have improved overall oral health including easing the struggle of TMJ.
|
| • |
Metal Free: Metal brackets and wires may provide a firm structure, but they can be frustrating. One of the biggest complaints from those who wear braces is being poked and cut by the metal in their mouths. Invisalign is all silicone, no sharp points or pokes. The silicone is worn entirely over the teeth, so there is nothing to catch or stab your soft tissue.
|
| • |
Custom Fit: Invisalign includes a series of aligners customized to gradually move your teeth into the ideal position that we agreed on during your consultation. Each aligner is created and designed with the end goal in mind. Your aligners should fit snugly over your teeth and though you will feel pressure, they are made to fit you.
|
| • |
Removable: Your Invisalign aligners should be worn a majority of each day, in fact they should be worn 20-22 hours a day, but they are removable. Whether you want to remove them to play sports, a musical instrument, while you eat, or just because it’s a special event, you have the freedom to remove your aligner when needed.
|
| • |
Discreet: Traditional metal braces may do wonders, but they are not known for being pretty. In fact, they carry the label of awkward teenager in their appearance. Many of our patients would like to avoid metal mouth, especially our adult patients. Invisalign is a clear acrylic appliance that is worn entirely over your teeth. They are nearly invisible and most people you encounter will never know you’re wearing them.
|
| • |
Less Office Visits: We will want to see you and check on your status during your Invisalign treatment, but there will be less office visits and no need for tightening wires. This is ideal for many of our busy patients.
|
| • |
Faster Results: Moving and straightening teeth takes time, but Invisalign averages about six months less treatment time than standard braces. This is due to the frequent changing of aligners which are all provided and therefore accessible at the beginning of treatment versus waiting to be seen and have your braces tightened at appointments. |
