At Griffin Orthodontics, we’re dedicated to providing the residents of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, with advanced orthodontic solutions, including Invisalign®. This innovative treatment offers a discreet and comfortable alternative to traditional braces, tailored to fit your lifestyle and dental needs.
A Closer Look at Invisalign® Treatment
Invisalign® utilizes a series of clear, custom-made aligners designed to gradually shift your teeth into the desired position. Unlike conventional braces, these aligners are virtually invisible and can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing. Dr. Thomas J. Griffin, DDS, emphasizes the importance of personalized treatment plans for achieving optimal results with Invisalign®.
The Benefits of Choosing Invisalign®
- Esthetics: The clear aligners are virtually invisible, offering a discreet way to straighten your teeth.
- Comfort: With no metal brackets or wires, Invisalign® aligners are more comfortable to wear.
- Convenience: The aligners are removable, making it easier to eat, brush, and floss without restrictions.
- Customized Treatment: Each set of aligners is custom-made using 3D computer imaging technology to ensure a precise fit and effective treatment.
Your Journey with Invisalign®
The process begins with a consultation at Griffin Orthodontics, where Dr. Griffin will assess your dental needs and discuss whether Invisalign® is right for you. Using state-of-the-art digital imaging technology, a precise 3D model of your teeth is created to customize your treatment plan. Throughout your Invisalign® journey, you’ll receive a new set of aligners every few weeks as your teeth gently move towards their final position.
Setting Realistic Expectations
Understanding what to expect during your Invisalign® treatment helps ensure a smooth and successful experience. While most patients report minimal discomfort, it’s common to feel slight pressure with each new set of aligners—a sign that the treatment is working. Regular check-ups with Dr. Griffin will monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments.
