Invisalign in Lansdale, PA

What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a modern orthodontic system that uses a series of custom-fitted, BPA-free plastic trays to gradually move your teeth into their ideal position. Each aligner is worn for about two weeks before switching to the next in the series, slowly shifting your smile into perfect alignment.

Because the aligners are removable, there are no restrictions on what you can eat, and brushing and flossing are as easy as ever.

What Can Invisalign Treat?

Invisalign is an excellent option for both teens and adults looking to correct a wide range of alignment concerns, including:

• Crowded teeth
• Gaps or spacing between teeth
• Overbite, underbite, or crossbite
• Mild to moderate crookedness
• Relapse from previous orthodontic treatment

It’s ideal for patients who want noticeable results without the visual impact or hassle of metal braces.

How the Invisalign Process Works

Your Invisalign journey begins with a comprehensive consultation and digital scan at Lansdale Dental Care. Here’s what you can expect:

1. Digital Scan and Smile Simulation

We’ll take precise 3D images of your teeth to map out your treatment plan. You’ll even get a preview of how your smile will look at the end of treatment.

2. Custom Aligner Creation

Your digital scans are sent to the Invisalign lab, where your aligners are fabricated to fit your teeth exactly.

3. Wear Your Aligners Daily

You’ll wear each set for about 20–22 hours a day, removing them only for meals, brushing, and flossing. Every 1–2 weeks, you’ll switch to the next set.

4. Regular Check-Ins

Dr. Chillemi will monitor your progress every few weeks to ensure everything is moving on track and to provide the next set of aligners.

Caring for Your Aligners

Keeping your aligners clean is essential for maintaining oral health and clear results. We recommend:

• Rinsing them with lukewarm water (never hot)
• Brushing them gently with a soft toothbrush
• Using Invisalign cleaning crystals or solution
• Storing them in their case when not in use
• Avoiding colored beverages while wearing them

This ensures your aligners stay clear and your treatment stays on track.
