Invisalign®

At Faces Orthodontics, proudly serving patients in Scottsdale and Peoria, we offer Invisalign® as a modern and effective alternative to traditional braces for adults, teens, and pre-teens who want a discreet, comfortable path to a confident smile. 

What Is Invisalign® in Scottsdale and Peoria, AZ? 

Invisalign® is the original and most widely recognized clear aligner system in the world. Using advanced 3D imaging and computer-aided design, Invisalign® creates a personalized series of aligners tailored to each patient’s unique dental structure. Each set of aligners is typically worn for about two weeks before progressing to the next set, gradually guiding teeth into proper alignment. 

Invisalign® can effectively treat a wide range of orthodontic concerns, including crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, crossbites, and mild to moderate bite issues. 

Advantages of Invisalign® for Adults, Teens, and Pre-Teens 

Invisalign® offers numerous benefits that make it one of the most popular orthodontic solutions available today: 

Virtually Invisible 

Made from clear, medical-grade plastic, Invisalign® aligners are barely noticeable, allowing patients to straighten their teeth discreetly. 

Removable Convenience 

Aligners can be removed for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. This allows patients to enjoy their favorite foods and maintain excellent oral hygiene throughout treatment. 

Comfortable Fit 

Invisalign® aligners are smooth and custom-fitted, with no metal brackets or wires to cause irritation or discomfort. 

Predictable Results 

Advanced digital planning allows orthodontists to accurately predict tooth movement, providing precise, reliable, and predictable outcomes. 

The Invisalign® Treatment Process in Scottsdale and Peoria, AZ 

Initial Consultation 

Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation with one of our experienced orthodontists. We evaluate your teeth, bite, and overall oral health and discuss your smile goals to determine if Invisalign® is the right solution for you. 

Customized Treatment Planning 

If Invisalign® is recommended, a personalized treatment plan is created outlining the expected duration, number of aligners, and projected results. 

Digital Impressions 

Using advanced 3D scanning technology, we take precise digital impressions of your teeth. These scans are used to design your custom aligners. 

Fitting Your Aligners 

Once your aligners are ready, you’ll return to our office for a fitting appointment. We ensure a comfortable fit and provide instructions for proper wear and care. 

Wearing Your Aligners 

Aligners should be worn 20–22 hours per day and removed only for meals and oral hygiene. Every two weeks, you’ll switch to the next set of aligners as directed. 

Regular Check-Ups 

Periodic check-ups allow us to monitor progress and make adjustments if needed, ensuring treatment stays on track. 

Maintenance and Aftercare 

After completing Invisalign® treatment, retainers are recommended to maintain your results and prevent teeth from shifting. Call us to learn more. 

Invisalign® for Teens and Pre-Teens 

Orthodontic care during adolescence is especially impactful, as teeth and jaws are still developing. Invisalign® Teen is specifically designed to meet the needs of younger patients while delivering excellent results. 

Invisalign® Teen: Designed for Growing Smiles 

Invisalign® Teen aligners function just like adult Invisalign® trays but include features tailored for younger wearers. These include compliance indicators to track wear time and built-in space to accommodate erupting teeth. This makes Invisalign® Teen an ideal option for patients who are still growing. 

With no brackets or wires, teens can remove aligners for meals, brushing, sports, and special events. The nearly invisible design allows teens to feel confident at school, during presentations, and in social settings. 

Invisalign® vs. Traditional Braces for Teens 

While Invisalign® is an excellent option for many teens, traditional braces may still be the best solution in certain cases. At Faces Orthodontics, we also offer metal and clear ceramic braces for teens and pre-teens when needed. 

Our orthodontists carefully evaluate each patient’s bite, alignment, and growth patterns to recommend the most effective treatment. Whether aligners or braces are chosen, early orthodontic care can guide jaw development, reduce future dental issues, and promote long-term oral health.
