Invisalign in Elmhurst, IL

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.

What is Invisalign?

Think of Invisalign as the modern way of straightening those pearly whites. Theyโ€™re clear aligners, custom-made for your teeth. What makes them stand out?

  • Near Invisible: These clear, plastic aligners are shaped to your teeth.
  • Removable: Got a date or a big event? Pop them out and pop them back in afterward.
  • Comfortable: No pokey wires or metal to cause discomfort.

Is Invisalign Better Than Braces?

Now, weโ€™re not throwing shade at traditional braces โ€” theyโ€™ve been the orthodontic hero for ages! But Invisalign does have its perks:

  • Aesthetic Appeal: Theyโ€™re clear and hard to notice.
  • Eat What You Want: Pop them out to eat, and brush your teeth as normal.
  • Fewer Office Visits: Meaning you get more time for anything else you want!

However, itโ€™s essential to chat with our dentists, Dr. Al-Asadi and Dr. Amiran to see whatโ€™s best for your unique dental care needs.

Got Alternatives to Invisalign?

You bet! While Invisalign is amazing, itโ€™s not the only player in the game. Depending on your teeth and what youโ€™re comfortable with, there are other orthodontic treatments available. Itโ€™s all about finding whatโ€™s right for you.

Walking Through the Invisalign Process

Letโ€™s break it down:

  1. Consultation: Pop into our office and have a chat with Dr. Al-Asadi and Dr. Amiran.
  2. Custom Plan: Weโ€™ll take impressions of your teeth and map out a custom plan.
  3. Get Your Aligners: Once theyโ€™re ready, youโ€™ll start wearing them, only taking them out to eat, brush, or for special occasions.
  4. Regular Check-ins: Every so often, youโ€™ll come in for a quick review and to get your next set of aligners.
  5. Reveal That Smile: After your treatment, show off that brand-new smile!

How Long Do I Need to Wear Invisalign Retainers?

Honestly, it varies. On average, most adults wear them for about 12 months, but it depends on the complexity of the alignment needed. But donโ€™t fret! Dr. Al-Asadi and Dr. Amiran will guide you on the best duration for optimal results. Once the treatment is done, youโ€™ll then be given a set of retainers to keep your teeth in the desired position. Dr. Al-Asadi and Dr. Amiran will instruct you on how long to wear those retainers so that your straightened teeth donโ€™t slide back to their original positions.
