Invisalign is the beautiful way to straighten teeth in Laguna Niguel, CA

Straight, perfectly aligned teeth are beautiful. They are also easier to clean, keeping your mouth healthier. However, traditional metal braces are neither attractive nor convenient. What can you do? If you are in Laguna Niguel, or a nearby city such as Aliso Viejo, Dana Point, Laguna Hills, San Juan Capistrano, or Mission Viejo, the answer is talk to Dr. Thompson about Invisalign orthodontics.

How Invisalign is (and isn’t) different

The patient experience and aesthetics of Invisalign are totally different from traditional metal braces. However, the power to treat cases ranging from minor adjustments to major bite correction remain the same. Invisalign uses tried-and-true principles of moving teeth with strategically located, low-force pressure. However, Invisalign does this in a high-tech, discreet way, with clear aligners.

Smile design, the Invisalign way

The Invisalign system is different from the beginning. There are no messy, uncomfortable impression trays. The digital design system works with a three-dimensional smile scan, which is fast, comfortable, and highly detailed. Using those images, Dr. Thompson will work with Invisalign to plan precise tooth movements needed. The final step is previewing a digital simulation of your new, straight smile.

Treatment process

Once your treatment plan is finalized, we will have your custom aligners fabricated at the Invisalign facility. You will receive a series of several aligners, which need to be worn at least 22 or 23 hours every day. Only remove them while eating, or for oral hygiene.

Each aligner moves teeth in small increments. You will use an aligner for a couple of weeks, then discard it and move to the next one in the series. This process continues with gradual improvement until you have reached optimal alignment.

If you are looking for a more beautiful, more convenient was to straighten teeth and correct bite alignment, just give us a call and schedule an Invisalign consultation with Dr. Thompson.

I was truly impressed by the total professionalism of the entire staff. Everyone was upbeat and very friendly. So glad I received Dr. Thompson’s flyer in the mail before I went to a different office. Highly recommend them.
