At Dental Excellence Bay Area, Dr. Potdar and our team pride ourselves on offering comfortable, clear, and convenient aligners through the revolutionary Invisalign® system. With these aligners, your journey to achieving a beautifully aligned smile is smoother and more convenient than ever before.
Why Choose Invisalign?
- Comfortable Clear Aligners: Say goodbye to the discomfort of traditional braces. Invisalign aligners are custom-made to fit snugly over your teeth, ensuring a comfortable experience throughout your treatment.
- Seamless Integration into Your Lifestyle: With Invisalign, there's no need to make major changes to your lifestyle. You can continue enjoying your favorite foods without restrictions, and nobody will even notice you're undergoing orthodontic treatment.
- Easy Oral Hygiene Maintenance: Brushing and flossing are a breeze with Invisalign. Simply remove your aligners, clean your teeth as usual, and pop them back in – it's that easy!
Begin Your Journey
The treatment process to get Invisalign is straightforward and involves several key steps:
- Initial Consultation: Your journey begins with an initial consultation with our Invisalign certified dentist, Dr. Potdar. During this visit, Dr. Potdar will evaluate your oral health, discuss your goals for treatment, and determine if Invisalign is the right option for you.
- Custom Treatment Plan: If Invisalign is deemed suitable for your needs, Dr. Potdar will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique smile. Using advanced technology, such as 3D imaging, he will map out the precise movements of your teeth and design a series of custom aligners to gradually shift them into the desired position.
- Treatment Duration: The length of your Invisalign treatment can vary depending on your specific goals. Typically, patients see results within four to 24 months as we work towards achieving your desired smile.
- Aligner Fitting: Once your treatment plan is finalized, you will receive your first set of aligners. These clear plastic trays are virtually invisible when worn and are custom-made to fit snugly over your teeth. Dr. Potdar will ensure that your aligners fit comfortably and provide you with detailed instructions on how to wear and care for them.
- Wear and Maintenance: To achieve optimal results, it's crucial to wear your aligners for at least 22 hours a day, removing them only for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. Dr. Potdar will provide guidance on proper oral hygiene practices and may recommend specific techniques to facilitate teeth movement.
- Progress Monitoring: Throughout your treatment, you will visit our San Jose dental office every two to four months for progress checks. During these appointments, Dr. Potdar will assess your teeth's movement, make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan, and provide you with your next set of aligners.
- Completion and Retention: Once your teeth have reached their desired position, Dr. Potdar will determine if any additional steps, such as refinements or the use of Vivera® retainers, are necessary to maintain your new smile. Retainers are typically worn at night to prevent teeth from shifting back into their original position.
- Enjoy Your New Smile: Congratulations! With your Invisalign treatment complete, you can now enjoy the confidence and satisfaction that comes with a beautifully aligned smile. Remember to continue practicing good oral hygiene and attend regular dental checkups to ensure the longevity of your results.
