Invisalign

Ever dreamed of that perfect, magazine-worthy smile without the metal fuss of braces? You might just be in luck! At Cottage Hill Dental Care, Dr. Mohammad Al-Asadi, Dr. Sanaz Amiran, and our team have something that might make those dreams come true: Invisalign. As a Platinum Partner with Invisalign, our office represents the highest tier of providers, meaning we’ve successfully treated hundreds of patients and maintain the expertise you deserve for your smile transformation.

Cottage Hill Dental Care is proud to be an Invisalign Platinum Partner – a designation reserved for the top-performing providers who demonstrate exceptional skill and experience in Invisalign treatment.

Think of Invisalign as the modern way of straightening those pearly whites. They’re clear aligners, custom-made for your teeth using advanced 3D imaging technology. What makes them stand out from traditional orthodontic approaches?

• Near Invisible: These clear, BPA-free plastic aligners are precisely shaped to your teeth, making them virtually undetectable when you smile or speak
• Removable: Got a date, important meeting, or big event? Pop them out and pop them back in afterward – no dietary restrictions or special cleaning routines
• Comfortable: No pokey wires, metal brackets, or emergency visits due to broken hardware
• Predictable Results: Advanced computer modeling shows you exactly how your teeth will move and what your final smile will look like before treatment even begins
• Efficient Treatment: Many cases can be completed faster than traditional braces, especially with our doctors’ extensive experience

Our Platinum Partner status with Invisalign means Dr. Al-Asadi and Dr. Amiran have access to the latest techniques, continuing education, and advanced treatment options that many other providers near Elmhurst simply don’t offer.

Now, we’re not throwing shade at traditional braces — they’ve been the orthodontic hero for ages! But Invisalign does have distinct advantages, especially when provided by experienced doctors like ours:

• Professional Appearance: Maintain your confident smile during important business meetings, social events, or photos
• No Food Restrictions: Unlike braces, you can still enjoy popcorn, sticky candy, and crunchy foods
• Better Oral Hygiene: Remove aligners to brush and floss normally, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease during treatment

• Fewer Office Visits: Typically require check-ups every 6-8 weeks instead of monthly adjustments
• No Emergency Appointments: No broken wires or loose brackets to worry about
• Gradual Movement: Teeth move more gently with less discomfort than traditional wire adjustments

• Sports and Activities: No risk of mouth injuries from metal brackets during contact sports
• Speaking Clarity: Most patients experience minimal speech changes, unlike traditional braces
• Easy Maintenance: Simple cleaning routine with special cleaning crystals or gentle brushing

However, it’s essential to chat with our dentists, Dr. Al-Asadi and Dr. Amiran, to determine what’s best for your unique dental care needs. Some complex cases may still benefit from traditional orthodontic approaches, and as your trusted dental care provider, we’ll always recommend the treatment that gives you the best results.

While Invisalign is amazing and our specialty as a Platinum Partner, it’s not the only player in the game. Depending on your teeth, budget, and lifestyle preferences, there are other orthodontic treatments available:

Best for complex cases requiring significant tooth movement or bite correction. Often covered more comprehensively by insurance plans.

Tooth-colored brackets that are less noticeable than metal but still use wires for movement.

Placed on the back of teeth for complete invisibility, though they can affect speech more significantly.

For very minor corrections or post-treatment maintenance.

It’s all about finding what’s right for your specific situation, budget, and lifestyle. Our experienced team will evaluate your case thoroughly and present all viable options with honest recommendations.

Let’s break down exactly what to expect when you choose our office for your Invisalign journey:

Pop into our Elmhurst office for a comprehensive evaluation with Dr. Al-Asadi or Dr. Amiran. We’ll examine your teeth, discuss your goals, and determine if you’re a good candidate for Invisalign treatment.

Using state-of-the-art iTero digital scanning technology, we’ll create precise 3D models of your teeth – no messy impressions needed! This technology allows us to show you a virtual preview of your results before treatment begins.

Our doctors will design your personalized treatment plan, determining exactly how many aligners you’ll need and the expected timeline for your perfect smile.

Your custom aligners are manufactured using Invisalign’s advanced technology and shipped directly to our office.

You’ll start wearing your first set of aligners, typically changing to a new set every 1-2 weeks as your teeth gradually move into position.

Every 6-8 weeks, you’ll visit our office for progress checks and to receive your next sets of aligners. Our Platinum Provider status ensures we catch any issues early and keep your treatment on track.

Once your treatment is complete, we’ll provide you with retainers to maintain your beautiful new smile for years to come.

Treatment duration honestly varies based on your individual case complexity. On average, most adults wear Invisalign aligners for about 12-18 months, but simpler cases might finish in 6-10 months, while more complex situations could take up to 24 months.

The key factors affecting your treatment time include:

• Severity of Misalignment: Minor crowding resolves faster than major bite issues
• Compliance: Wearing aligners 20-22 hours daily as recommended
• Age: Adult teeth typically move more slowly than teenage teeth
• Individual Biology: Everyone’s teeth respond differently to orthodontic movement

But don’t fret! Dr. Al-Asadi and Dr. Amiran will provide you with a realistic timeline during your consultation and monitor your progress closely throughout treatment.

After your active treatment ends, you’ll receive retainers to maintain your results. Initially, you’ll wear them full-time for a few months, then transition to nighttime wear. Many patients wear retainers indefinitely to ensure their investment in a beautiful smile lasts a lifetime.
