Are you looking for an orthodontist near you? Are you nervous about you or your child needing traditional bracket-and-wire braces due to crooked or misaligned teeth? Invisalign® clear aligners may be the perfect solution for you. Petaluma Valley Dental is glad to offer Invisalign in Petaluma, CA as a discreet alternative to traditional braces. Because they’re made of sturdy, clear plastic, they’re nearly invisible while in your mouth. And because they’re fully removable, you don’t have to avoid any of your favorite foods during treatment. Many of our patients report less pain with Invisalign, since the clear aligners don’t scrape against your gums or lips as wire braces do. While your friends and family may not see the aligners, they’ll be sure to notice your improved smile!
Overall, invisible aligners from our orthodontic experts in Petaluma, CA will improve the function and appearance of your smile for years to come.
While the aesthetic benefits of Invisalign clear aligners are readily apparent, it’s also important to consider the hidden perks of orthodontics. Having crooked teeth can speed up the development of plaque, leading to faster dental decay and more cavities in difficult-to-reach places. In more severe cases, plaque can harden into tartar and cause gum disease. Aligning your teeth makes it easier to keep up with your dental hygiene.
Crooked teeth and a bad bite (malocclusion) can also lead to TMJ syndrome, jaw pain, bite issues and teeth grinding. Straightening your teeth can be the first step toward fixing these problems, as well. Overall, invisible aligners from our orthodontic experts in Petaluma, CA will improve the function and appearance of your smile for years to come.
Dr. Husein is trained and certified in creating Invisalign clear aligners, and he’ll keep a close eye on your treatment to ensure that it’s progressing as it should. Each set of aligners lasts about two weeks, and is made using 3D computer imaging. You’ll wear your aligners for at least 22 hours a day, but you can remove them to eat, drink, brush and floss. Gradually, your teeth will move into a straighter alignment! On average, treatment time with Invisalign is between 9 and 15 months.
There are a lot of benefits to getting orthodontic treatment at Petaluma Valley Dental. Because Dr. Husein can also manage your everyday dental care, you don’t have to find a separate orthodontist. More than that, he can take a full view of your oral health when evaluating you for Invisalign treatment. Nearly all of our patients qualify for Invisalign, as long as they don’t have complex bite issues.
We realize that getting Invisalign may seem daunting to some, but it’s one of the gentlest treatments in orthodontics, and its results are dramatic. We’re glad to partner with major dental insurance carriers as well as third-party dental financing companies to help make Invisalign treatment accessible to all our patients who want it.
