Invisalign Isn’t The Same Everywhere

Invisalign Clear Aligners

The innovative Invisalign System has changed the way people look at having their teeth straightened. Instead of wearing brackets and wires, today many orthodontic patients have the opportunity to wear smooth, clear, removable Invisalign aligners, which gradually move the teeth into the desired position. Invisalign aligners are designed to move the teeth in small steps to the desired final position.

Is All Invisalign the Same?

No… just like with braces, how well your smile looks and teeth fit after treatment depends on who plans and supervises your orthodontic treatment.

Invisalign is a brand of clear, virtually invisible plastic aligners that are a modern approach to tooth straightening. After the doctor plans your treatment, the series of aligners are made for you and only you. Wearing them will gradually and gently shift your teeth into place, based on the exact movements your doctor plans for you.

The prescription is part of the advanced treatment planning process, where your doctor plans how each set of aligners will move your teeth to ensure not only straight teeth, but a stable, healthy bite that will last a lifetime.

The first step in our office is a digital impression. This is accomplished by taking multiple pictures of the tooth surfaces with a camera the size of an electrical tooth brush. The computer turns theses individual pictures into a 3-D image that is sent to the Invisalign Lab, where the aligners are manufactured to match the doctor’s prescribed treatment plan.

Invisalign is an alternative to braces that can be used to treat most Teens and Adults. Some parents are concerned with compliance issues. “Invisalign Teen” comes with built in compliance indicators. You and your doctor will be able to tell if your teen is wearing them as instructed.

Why an Orthodontist is Better Than a General Dentist for Invisalign Treatment

One important fact people who may be interested in having their teeth straightened should know is that not all Invisalign treatment is the same. While there are many general dentists who fit patients with braces and the Invisalign system, an orthodontist with many years of experience treating patients possesses the specialized orthodontic training necessary to successfully correct an orthodontic issue. This is because an orthodontist has accumulated a vast amount of knowledge and experience by practicing orthodontics and only orthodontics every day. A general dentist on the other hand spends most of his or her time practicing general dentistry with minimal professional focus being put on moving teeth accurately for the best possible results.

Invisalign By An Orthodontist Is Best

Whether you're an adult thinking of having your teeth straightened or are interested in finding out if Invisalign Teen is right for your child, you should seek out Invisalign treatment that is provided by an orthodontist because this type of dental specialist is experienced in tooth movement. In short, orthodontists are dental specialists who possess superior experience, training, knowledge and skill just as surgeons are medical specialists people entrust their lives to in extreme situations of life and death.

We use the Revolutionary iOC 3D Digital Scanner

We are very proud to offer orthodontic excellence at our Bakersfield, CA orthodontic office. Among the latest technological advances we use is the iOC 3D digital scanner. With this piece of technology, Dr. Tadej can digitally capture the exact contours of your teeth by simply waving a wand over them. These 'digital impressions' are the most effective way to place Invisalign (and braces) on our patients' teeth.

The impressions of the teeth taken with the iOC are digitally perfect which helps us better plan your Invisalign or Invisalign Teen treatment. You don't have to sit through uncomfortable, messy impressions as you simply lay back and relax while we spend a few short minutes taking easy and painless digital scans of your teeth.
