Straighten Your Smile Discreetly with Invisalign at Mesquite Dental
Achieving a straighter smile has never been easier—or more discreet. At Mesquite Dental in Tucson, AZ, we offer Invisalign, the clear aligner system designed to correct misaligned teeth without the hassle of traditional braces. Whether you're dealing with overcrowding, gaps, or bite issues, Invisalign provides a comfortable, convenient solution.
What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment that uses a series of custom-made, clear aligner trays to gradually straighten your teeth. Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, removable, and designed for comfort.
Invisalign can effectively address:
- Crowded teeth
- Gapped teeth
- Overbites, underbites, and crossbites
- Mild to moderate alignment issues
Benefits of Invisalign at Mesquite Dental
- Discreet Appearance: Invisalign trays are nearly invisible, making them ideal for adults and teens who want a more subtle option for orthodontic treatment.
- Removable Trays: You can easily remove the aligners to eat, brush, and floss.
- Comfortable Fit: Invisalign trays are custom-made from smooth, BPA-free plastic to fit comfortably in your mouth.
- Fewer Office Visits: With Invisalign, you’ll typically have fewer appointments compared to traditional braces.
- Efficient Treatment: Many patients see results in as little as 6–18 months, depending on the complexity of their case.
The Invisalign Process at Mesquite Dental
- Initial Consultation
During your first visit, Dr. Karley Schneider or Dr. Cole Younger will evaluate your teeth and discuss your orthodontic goals to determine if Invisalign is right for you. - Digital Impressions and Treatment Plan
We use advanced iTero digital impression technology to create a 3D model of your teeth. This allows us to map out a precise treatment plan and show you a preview of your expected results. - Custom Aligner Fabrication
Your aligners will be custom-made to fit your teeth and designed to gradually shift them into alignment. - Wearing Your Aligners
You’ll wear each set of aligners for about 1–2 weeks, depending on your personalized treatment plan. Aligners should be worn for 20–22 hours daily for optimal results. - Regular Checkups
We’ll schedule periodic visits to monitor your progress and provide you with new sets of aligners.
Invisalign vs. Traditional Braces
When it comes to straightening your teeth, both Invisalign and traditional braces are effective options. However, Invisalign offers several advantages that make it a popular choice for many patients:
- Discreet Appearance: Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible, unlike the noticeable metal brackets and wires of traditional braces.
- Removability: Invisalign trays can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing, while braces are fixed in place throughout the treatment.
- Comfort: Made from smooth, BPA-free plastic, Invisalign aligners are more comfortable and less likely to cause irritation compared to the metal components of braces.
- No Food Restrictions: With Invisalign, you can enjoy all your favorite foods by simply removing the trays. Traditional braces require avoiding hard, sticky, or chewy foods that could damage the brackets or wires.
- Convenience: Invisalign typically requires fewer office visits since there are no adjustments to brackets or wires.
If you're looking for a more convenient and discreet way to straighten your teeth, Invisalign may be the ideal solution for you.
