What is Invisalign?

White Dental Spa in Dallas, TX knows how good an amazing smile can be. Take the initial step toward getting the beautiful smile you deserve with Invisalign clear aligners – the most advanced clear aligner system in the world.

Invisalign is a modern approach to braces; relying on a custom made series of aligners that have been specially molded to your teeth and engineered to gradually shift your teeth into its ideal place. There are no metal brackets to attach, no wires, and no rubber bands. In fact, aligners are clear and nearly invisible to anyone but you. Just snap in a new aligner every 2 weeks, and let them do their magic. People won’t even know what you’re up to, though they may wonder a bit why you’re smiling so much.

What Is The iTero Laser Scanner?

At White Dental Spa, our dentists in Dallas are always investing in the latest and greatest dentistry technology to provide our patients with the best possible dental care. This includes Invisalign treatment, which is why we use an iTero laser scanner for all Invisalign consultations.

The iTero laser scanner is a digital intraoral scanner used at White Dental Spa for a wide variety of treatments, including Invisalign. It uses pulsed laser light and a special software program to quickly take a 3-dimensional scan and image of your entire mouth, which can be viewed immediately by Dr. E-Jan Tung or Dr. Quinn Liu. 

The iTero laser scanner is one of the most powerful and advanced intraoral scanners on the market, and can capture images and scans at up to 6,000 frames per second while still providing incredible precision and accuracy.


Benefits Of Invisalign With iTero Laser Scanner

Wondering why you may want to get an Invisalign consultation at White Dental Spa with our iTero laser scanner? Here are just a few benefits of using this sophisticated dental tool for Invisalign treatment. 

No messy impressions 

Some cosmetic dentists need to take dental impressions of your teeth using putty and trays. The trays must be left in place for several minutes as the putty hardens, which can be very uncomfortable. In addition, the goopy putty tends to leave a nasty residue on your teeth after the trays are removed, and some patients with a strong gag reflex may have a lot of trouble having impressions taken of their teeth.

With the iTero laser scanner, there is no need for any messy impressions. Using this touchless laser tool, our dentists can rapidly scan your teeth, assess their position, and begin building a treatment plan.

Easier to simulate outcomes

The iTero laser scanner is completely compatible with the Invisalign® Outcome Simulator. Dr. E-Jan Tung or Dr. Quinn Liu can upload your scan into this tool, and simulate the movement of your teeth throughout the Invisalign process.

This gives you more insight on what to expect as your teeth move, and also lets you see an accurate preview of how your teeth will look once your Invisalign treatment has concluded.

More accurate fit for your aligners

The high precision of our laser scanner ensures that your first several sets of aligners fit perfectly, and that your treatment proceeds without any fit-related problems. Thanks to iTero and its advanced products, you can speed up your overall Invisalign treatment time at White Dental Spa.

Your aligners can be built more quickly 

Dental impressions must be physically mailed to an Invisalign facility as part of the process of developing a treatment plan. But since the iTero laser scanner takes digital images, these can be sent directly to Invisalign as your treatment is being designed. This results in a turnaround time that’s up to 50% faster for your first several sets of aligners.

If you are located in Highland Park, Uptown, or surrounding cities in Dallas, Invisalign with the iTero laser scanner is the best way to correct your smile in Dallas. To see the White Difference for yourself and find out if you’re a good candidate, give us a call at (214) 484-1064 to schedule an Invisalign consultation at our office.

Plans and pricing

Invisalign is the perfect approach to straighten your teeth because it offers a high level of comfort, convenience and confidence that you won’t find in other teeth-straightening options. Invisalign’s approach to treatment has minimal interference in how you live, but has a positive impact on how you look and feel.

If Invisalign is right for you, our doctor will then take pictures, digital x-rays and impressions of your teeth. We will then create a treatment plan that will show you in digital 3D the exact movements of your teeth and also tell you the approximate length of treatment. The length of Invisalign treatment depends on the severity of misalignment, though 12 months seems to be about the norm for adults. Teens may differ slightly based on their oral maturity. Based on your treatment plan, a series of custom-made, clear aligners is created. You simply wear the aligners throughout the day and your teeth will gradually begin to shift into place. You can remove the aligners at any time when necessary; however, you should wear your aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day during your entire treatment for best results. You wear a new set of aligners every two weeks until your treatment is complete.

Frequently asked questions

1

Will Invisalign treatment be painful?

While Invisalign aligners are more comfortable than traditional braces, some patients can experience temporary discomfort for a couple of days at the beginning of each new stage of treatment. This is caused from the aligners exerting pressure on your teeth, which is necessary to move your teeth to their final location. The discomfort is temporary and will typically resolve in a few days.
2

How often do I need to wear my aligners?

Aligners should be worn 20-22 hours per day for best results
3

What can I eat while in treatment?

You can eat and drink whatever you want while in treatment. The aligners can be removed before you eat and drink.
4

How will Invisalign effectively move my teeth?

Invisalign aligners work by applying appropriate controlled pressure on your teeth. What sets Invisalign apart from traditional braces is that Invisalign not only controls the force, but also the timing of the force application – only certain teeth are allowed to move at each stage of treatment. This will effectively shorten the teeth straightening process when compared to traditional metal braces.
5

What happens after treatment is completed?

After your orthodontic treatment is completed, you would need to wear a clear retainer at night to prevent teeth from gradually shifting back towards their initial position (same as with traditional braces).
6

What are the primary benefits of Invisalign?

Invisalign aligners are clear and nearly invisible. Invisalign aligners are also removable. You have the option and flexibility to remove your aligners to eat and drink and also remove your aligners to brush and floss your teeth. Invisalign aligners are smooth and comfortable with no metal brackets or wires. Invisalign allows you to view your treatment plan and virtual 3D results before you start so you can see how your teeth will look when your treatment is complete.
