Invisalign Treatment in Lombard, IL
Straighter teeth do not have to mean metal brackets and wires. Invisalign uses a series of clear, custom-made trays to move your teeth gradually, without the look or the hassle of traditional braces. Reflection Dental offers Invisalign to teens and adults across Lombard and the surrounding area, with a treatment plan built around your teeth and your schedule.
What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that straightens teeth using a series of clear, removable aligners instead of metal brackets and wires. Each set of aligners is custom-made from BPA-free plastic, so they fit closely and stay far less noticeable than traditional braces. Because the trays are removable, you brush, floss, and eat normally throughout treatment, something traditional braces don’t allow. For patients who want straighter teeth without the appearance of hardware, Invisalign is one of the most popular options we offer.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Invisalign?
Invisalign corrects a wide range of alignment issues: mild overbites and underbites, gaps between teeth, crowding, protruding teeth, and open bites. Adults and older teenagers tend to be the best candidates, since their jaws have finished growing and they’re able to keep the removable trays in for the recommended hours each day. Invisalign is not the right fit for every case. Severe bite issues that require jaw repositioning typically call for a different approach, which our team will walk you through during your exam.
Even when Invisalign is right for one family member and not another, Reflection Dental treats patients of every age. Bring your teenager in for an Invisalign consultation and schedule the rest of the family’s dental care on the same visit.
The Invisalign Process at Reflection Dental
Initial Screening: We examine your teeth and take X-rays and 3D scans to map the exact position of your teeth and the issues we’re treating. Those scans go to the lab to build your custom aligners.
First Appointment: If your case calls for them, we place small, tooth-colored attachments on certain teeth. These act as grip points that help each aligner apply the right pressure in the right spot.
Your First Set of Aligners: You’ll receive your first several sets of aligners once the lab completes them. Dr. Patalia determines how long you wear each tray before moving to the next one, based on how your teeth respond.
Follow-Up Visits: Most patients come in every six to eight weeks so we can check your progress and hand off the next set of aligners. Outside of those visits, you keep your normal routine.
Built Around Your Family and Your Schedule
Reflection Dental accepts most major insurance plans, and our team will walk you through your coverage before treatment starts. Evening appointments are available Tuesday and Thursday until 7:00 PM, so fitting Invisalign check-ins around work or school is easier. Dr. Patalia builds every plan around your teeth and your goals rather than a standard package, so your timeline and your results are specific to you.
