A Clear Path to a Beautiful Smile with Invisalign®
At The Foleck Center, we’re proud to offer Invisalign, a discreet and comfortable orthodontic treatment ideal for those who prefer to skip the traditional metal braces. Our team of skilled dentists, led by Dr. Adam Foleck and supported by our experienced staff, works closely with you to create a personalized treatment plan using custom-fit clear aligners that gradually shift your teeth into alignment.
Invisalign is a fantastic solution for correcting crowding, gaps, and mild bite issues in both teens and adults. These smooth, clear trays are not only comfortable but also virtually invisible, making them the perfect choice for patients seeking a more subtle option. Our team is here to guide you through every step of your Invisalign journey, ensuring you achieve a healthy, beautiful smile with ease.
Who is a Good Candidate for Invisalign?
To achieve the best results with Invisalign, it’s essential that aligners are worn for at least 22 hours each day. This means you’ll need to stay dedicated to your treatment by replacing the aligners after meals, brushing, and flossing. That’s why Invisalign is typically a great option for older children, teens, and adults who are ready to commit to the process and follow the necessary steps for success.
Our team at The Foleck Center, including Dr. Adam Foleck and our experienced dental professionals, will guide you through each phase of your treatment. Regular visits are key, as we’ll need to create new aligners as your smile transforms. We’re here to ensure your experience is smooth, effective, and comfortable as we work together toward your beautiful, confident smile!
What Happens During Treatment for Invisalign?
Your Invisalign journey begins with a consultation, digital scan, and x-rays to assess your smile. Our experienced dental team will assess your bite, review your goals, and create a custom treatment plan using state-of-the-art 3D imaging. Based on this information, we’ll create a personalized orthodontic treatment plan tailored just for you. Your first set of clear aligners will be custom-made in-house, ensuring a perfect fit.
To achieve the best results, the aligners must be worn for 22 hours a day, only being removed for eating, brushing, or flossing. As your teeth gradually shift, you’ll return every few weeks to receive new sets of aligners. Most patients will go through several sets during their treatment, watching their smile transform along the way. Once finished, you’ll be left with a straight, healthy smile that lasts.
