Invisalign

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign in Novato & Mill Valley consists of clear, removable aligners custom-made to fit your teeth. Using advanced 3D imaging technology, we map out a complete treatment plan from your teeth’s initial position to your desired final position. As you wear each set of aligners, your teeth gently and gradually shift into place.

Why Choose Invisalign?

Invisalign offers a host of benefits that make it an attractive option for orthodontic care:

1. Discreet Appearance: One of Invisalign’s most significant advantages is that the aligners are nearly invisible. This makes them an excellent option for adults and teens who may feel self-conscious about wearing more noticeable metal braces.
2. Comfort: Made from smooth, BPA-free plastic, Invisalign aligners are far more comfortable than traditional metal braces. There are no metal brackets or wires to cause mouth abrasions or discomfort.
3. Removable: Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners can be removed for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. This means you can enjoy all your favorite foods without worries and maintain better oral hygiene.
4. Shorter Treatment Time: Invisalign can often straighten teeth faster than traditional braces. Treatment time varies from person to person, but many patients complete their Invisalign journey in 12 to 18 months.

The Invisalign Process at Marin Modern Dentistry

We’re committed to providing a seamless and comfortable experience from start to finish. Here’s how the Invisalign process works at Marin Modern Dentistry:

1. Initial Consultation: During your first visit, we will discuss your orthodontic goals and evaluate whether Invisalign is the right solution. We’ll take digital impressions of your teeth and mouth using advanced imaging technology.
2. Custom Treatment Plan: Using your digital impressions, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan mapped out in precise detail. This plan shows the step-by-step transformation of your smile from start to finish so you know exactly what to expect.
3. Receiving Your Aligners: Once your aligners are ready, you’ll begin wearing each set for about two weeks before moving on to the next set. Your dentist will guide you on the exact schedule and when to change aligners.
4. Regular Check-ins: We’ll schedule regular appointments every 6 to 8 weeks to ensure your treatment progresses as planned. These appointments allow us to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments.
5. Completion and Retainers: Once your treatment is complete, you can wear a retainer at night to maintain your beautiful new smile.
