At Balaji Dental Clinic, we specialize in using Invisalign to create stunning, self-assured smiles. Invisalign is a cutting-edge and effective orthodontic treatment that straightens teeth without the need for bulky metal braces. With Invisalign, our knowledgeable team, led by Dr. Parijat Pallav, is dedicated to providing you with the individualized care you need to achieve the smile of your dreams.

What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign involves wearing a series of clear, removable aligners that gradually reposition your teeth into the desired positions. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are almost undetectable and can be removed for special events, eating, and brushing, making them a discreet and convenient option for straightening teeth.

How Does Invisalign Work?

The Invisalign treatment procedure starts with a consultation with our skilled orthodontist. Here’s how Invisalign functions:

• Consultation: During your initial consultation, Dr. Parijat Pallav will inspect your teeth and discuss your treatment goals. Your teeth will be digitally scanned, or impressions will be taken to create a personalized treatment plan.
• Custom Aligners: A set of aligners tailored to your needs will be made based on the digital scans. Each pair of aligners will gradually move your teeth into their correct positions.

• Aligner Wearing: You will wear each set of aligners for approximately two weeks, removing them only to brush, floss, and eat. Your teeth will progressively shift into their proper positions as you progress through the series.
• Frequent Check-Ups: To ensure your treatment is on track, you will visit us every six to eight weeks. Dr. Pallav will provide you with new aligner sets and adjust your treatment plan as necessary.
• Finalization: After your treatment, you will receive a set of retainers to help maintain your new smile and prevent your teeth from moving back to their previous positions.

How Long Does Invisalign Take?

The duration of your Invisalign treatment depends on your individual orthodontic needs and case complexity. Typically, Invisalign treatment lasts between 12 and 18 months. While some patients might achieve their desired results in as little as six months, others may require up to two years. Dr. Pallav will provide you with a more precise estimate during your consultation.

Does Invisalign Hurt?

A common question about Invisalign is whether it causes pain. Most patients experience some pressure or discomfort when they first wear a new set of aligners, indicating that their teeth are moving. However, this discomfort is usually temporary, lasting only a few days. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are more comfortable as they don’t have metal brackets or wires that can irritate the inside of your mouth.

How to Clean Invisalign Aligners?

Maintaining dental hygiene and ensuring optimal treatment requires proper care of your Invisalign aligners. Here are some cleaning guidelines:

• Rinse Often: Rinse your aligners with lukewarm water each time you remove them to prevent saliva and plaque buildup.
• Brush Daily: Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and clear, unscented soap or Invisalign cleaning crystals to gently brush your aligners. Avoid using toothpaste as it can be abrasive and damage the aligners.
• Soak Regularly: Soak your aligners in a denture cleaning solution or Invisalign cleaning crystals to keep them bacteria-free and fresh.
• Avoid Staining Foods and Drinks: Remove your aligners before consuming any food or drink (other than water) to prevent discoloration and staining.
• Store Properly: Keep your aligners in their protective case when not in use to avoid loss or damage.

Cost of Invisalign

The cost of Invisalign treatment varies based on the complexity of your case, the duration of treatment, and your location. While Invisalign may be slightly more expensive than traditional braces, many patients find the benefits of nearly invisible aligners to be well worth the cost. At Balaji Dental Clinic, we aim to make Invisalign treatment affordable. During your consultation, we will discuss possible payment options and provide you with a comprehensive cost estimate.

Invisalign Treatment for Adults and Teens

Invisalign is suitable for both adults and teens seeking a discreet way to straighten their teeth. Invisalign Teen is a special set of aligners designed for teenagers, featuring compliance indicators to ensure the aligners are worn as prescribed.
