Free Invisalign Consult
You can create your best, healthiest smile at any age, with discreet Invisalign aligners! If you're considering this nearly-invisible clear aligner orthodontic system, start with a free consult to find out if Invisalign is right for you!
Straightening and aligning your teeth can benefit not just the appearance of your smile, but its complete health, too! Teeth that are crooked or unevenly spaced can lead to oral health concerns and conditions that impact your confidence and quality of life.
For patients who are looking to correct the appearance of their teeth but don’t want to endure the discomfort often associated with traditional braces, Mills Dental Group is proud to offer Invisalign®, an invisible way to straighten your teeth. With its custom-made clear aligner system, this cosmetic dentistry treatment can help you achieve an aligned smile, without anyone noticing you're undergoing orthodontic treatment!
What is Invisalign®?
Invisalign® is a set of clear, plastic aligners that are worn for two weeks at a time to gradually shift the teeth into their optimal position. Invisalign® can be used to correct a number of aesthetic and functional issues, including uneven spacing, overcrowding, over-bites, and under-bites. Invisalign® trays are worn daily, but are easily removed to eat, drink, and care for the teeth.
Some of the top benefits of Invisalign® include:
- Invisible aligners for discreet treatment. No one will know you are receiving orthodontic treatment
- Fewer dental appointments needed. Invisalign® doesn’t require tightening or adjustments like traditional braces, so you can spend less time in the dental office.
- More comfortable orthodontic treatment. Unlike braces which are made of painful metal wires and can cause mouth sores, Invisalign® is made of a durable plastic and is custom fit for your mouth.
- Easier dental cleanings. Patients who wear traditional braces often find it difficult to clean between wires and brackets. The fact that Invisalign® trays are removable means that you can maintain your regular oral hygiene habits.
- No dietary restrictions. When using Invisalign®, you can enjoy all of the great foods you always have without fear of them getting stuck between brackets or wires.
Invisalign® Treatment at Mills Dental Group
At Mills Dental Group, our dentists understand that many patients are put off by the stigma of traditional braces and are therefore proud to offer an amazing alternative orthodontic treatment: Invisalign. During your orthodontic consultation at our Houston dental office, your dentist will perform a complete full smile analysis, evaluating the structures of the mouth to determine if you are a candidate for Invisalign®. I
If you suffer from severe jaw misalignment, other orthodontic treatments may be best for you. If you are an Invisalign candidate, your dentist will take several impressions of the teeth, and 3D image technology is used by Invisalign to get a clear picture of the structures of the mouth.
The Invisalign lab then creates aligners specifically for you. During a second orthodontic appointment, you will receive your clear orthodontic aligners and the dentist will address any questions or concerns you may have.
Each Invisalign aligner is worn for about two weeks before a new tray is used. These trays work to gradually shift the teeth toward an attractive and healthy position. It is important to wear the trays at all times (except when eating, drinking, and brushing) to promote optimal results. On average, Houston / Katy Invisalign® patients achieve their orthodontic dentistry goals in 9-15 months.
Digital Impressions and Smile Previews with iTero
Our iTero digital scanner helps make consultations and impressions faster, more comfortable and less invasive for our Invisalign patients. The ultra-light, radiation-free iTero scanner allows our team to take quick, comfortable scans and non-invasive digital impressions of the smile — no sticky traditional impressions required!
The iTero uses advanced optical technology to provide non-invasive 3D images and impressions almost instantly. Your dentist will use the handheld scanner to ensure the necessary images are obtained in order to create your orthodontic treatment plan.
At Mills Dental Group, the iTero scanner can even offer digital smile simulations, allowing you to preview the results of your Invisalign treatment before it even begins! You’ll be able to view the images on the computer alongside our dentist during your consultation, so you can feel confident in your clear aligner treatment plan from the start.
