Invisalign in Henderson, NV offers clear aligner treatment that corrects dental misalignment and bite issues using a customized, nearly invisible approach tailored to your unique needs.

Invisalign uses a series of custom clear plastic aligners that gradually shift your teeth into proper alignment through controlled, gentle pressure.

Each aligner is designed using advanced digital scans of your teeth. You wear each set for about two weeks before switching to the next in the series. The aligners apply targeted force to move specific teeth at each stage of treatment, guiding them into their ideal positions over time.

Because the aligners are clear and removable, most people will not notice you are undergoing treatment. You can take them out to eat, brush, and floss, making it easier to maintain good oral hygiene compared to traditional braces. This flexibility is especially appealing to adults and teens who want a discreet option.

Invisalign effectively treats overbites, underbites, crossbites, open bites, and gaps or crowding caused by misalignment.

An overbite occurs when your upper teeth extend too far over your lower teeth, which can cause jaw pain and wear on your enamel. An underbite happens when your lower teeth sit in front of your upper teeth, affecting your bite and speech. Crossbites involve misalignment that causes upper and lower teeth to meet unevenly.

Open bites leave a gap when you close your mouth, making it difficult to chew properly. Crowding and spacing issues also respond well to Invisalign treatment. Your dentist will evaluate your specific concerns and create a treatment plan that addresses your bite and alignment for improved function and appearance.

For a comprehensive evaluation of your oral health before starting treatment, visit dental exams and cleanings in Henderson to ensure your teeth and gums are ready.

You will receive a series of aligners to wear for 20 to 22 hours per day, with check-ins every six to eight weeks to monitor your progress.

At your initial consultation, your dentist takes digital impressions and photographs of your teeth. These images are used to create a 3D model and a step-by-step treatment plan. You will see a preview of how your teeth will move and what your final smile will look like.

Once your aligners are ready, you begin wearing them as directed. Most treatment plans last between 12 and 18 months, though simpler cases may finish sooner. You visit your dentist periodically to receive new aligner sets and confirm that your teeth are moving as planned. Compliance is key, so wearing your aligners for the recommended hours each day ensures the best results.

The dry air in Henderson, NV can lead to dehydration and dry mouth, which increases bacteria buildup and the risk of cavities during aligner treatment.

When you wear aligners, saliva flow is slightly reduced, and staying hydrated becomes even more important. Drinking plenty of water throughout the day helps rinse away bacteria and keeps your mouth comfortable. Dry mouth can also make it harder to keep aligners clean, so regular rinsing and proper hygiene are essential.

Henderson's warm weather encourages outdoor activities, and Invisalign's removable design lets you stay active without dietary restrictions. You can enjoy meals and sports without worrying about damaging brackets or wires.
