Invisalign

People need orthodontic treatment for several reasons like uneven or missing teeth, gum disease, and much more. At LiveWell Dentistry, we aim to provide you with the best solutions for all of your teeth and gum problems. Just one of those solutions is arguably the best Invisalign Santa Monica provides.

While considering orthodontics, braces are very popular for aligning the teeth and fixing several other problems that may arise in the mouth. Many people opt to get braces purely due to the aesthetic impact caused by it. Adults, in particular, are not as willing to wear metal braces for long periods of time.

Our treatment of Invisalign in Santa Monica can handle almost all the same problems as the traditional braces would, but in a more visually appealing and flexible manner. Here are some of the most common dental problems that can be treated with Invisalign:

Overcrowding – When there is a lack of enough space for the teeth to grow normally, they start to become crooked and grow facing different directions. If not treated correctly, overcrowding can result in decaying of the teeth as well as gum ailments in the future.

Gapped teeth – People sometimes have gaps between their teeth because of excess space due to a missing tooth or the abnormal growth of the jaw.

After this, 3D digital images are taken of your entire jaw, which will help the dentist move the teeth on the screen and also see beforehand the results that can be expected from the treatment. With the help of this technology, you can see the ways in which Invisalign can alter your facial structure.

Once your treatment plan is finalized, our dental specialists will get to work and make a customized set of aligners for you. Depending on your plan, the total number of aligners required will be determined, but it is common to have between 20-30 sets of aligners for each arch in the mouth.

Once you begin to wear your Invisalign, you will need to take special care and avoid wearing it while eating or drinking. Our dental experts will make new trays for you every two weeks or so, allowing you to visit the clinic and see the progress for yourself. Our goal is to give you the best results from Invisalign Santa Monica has to offer. There is no doubt that Invisalign has changed the way we view orthodontics. If you are considering a more comfortable and aesthetically appealing way of treating your dental problems, Invisalign is the perfect choice for you. Schedule an appointment with us today and get ready for a newer and brighter smile.

Do you need to get your Invisalign clear aligners fitted? Traditional methods involve using things like dental clay to take molds of your teeth. While that’s a good method, it’s not suitable all the time or for everyone.

At LiveWell Dentistry, we have introduced the iTero Element system to take the place of traditional dental molding practices. Now you don’t have to sit and wait for a long time for the dental clay to set during your Invisalign fitting.

iTero’s cutting-edge 3D mapping technology quickly obtains the complete shape and contours of your teeth. The precision technology of the iTero Element system ensures that every section of your teeth is carefully and closely mapped. This way, your Invisalign aligners will be a perfect fit, and you’ll regain your beautiful smile in no time. The technology also reduces the number of re-fittings you’ll need.
