Invisalign® Treatment in Kingwood, TX

Invisalign treatments in Kingwood, TX, can do so much more for oral health than just straighten a crooked smile! We would love to share with you our clear aligners at Made Ya Smile Dental. It is true that some orthodontic patients may still require the traditional metal braces, but if you are interested in learning more about Invisalign orthodontics and Invisalign Teen clear aligners, there are many wonderful benefits from this technique as well. Straightened teeth look great, but they also are easier to clean with each tooth in the right place. Our Invisalign trays are best for teens and adults with overcrowding, gaps in between the teeth, and/or bite misalignment. You may even have a combination of these concerns to address with your practitioner at Made Ya Smile Dental. We offer appointments to have an Invisalign consultation in our Kingwood office regularly.

Teens love how indiscernible the Invisalign Teen® trays are to their friends and family. Keep in mind that many Invisalign Teen patients really enjoy the freedom to take out their aligners to participate in contact sports, play a musical instrument, or not wear them for a special occasion, like a dance or picture day. Parents can also be reassured with our Invisalign Teen compliance indicators. These are blue dots on the inside of the aligner that fade when worn appropriately. 

Invisalign treatments are popular among teens and adults for several reasons. Some of the most common reasons our patients prefer this teeth-straightening method over traditional orthodontics include:

• Removable aligners
• No food restrictions
• Easier to brush and floss
• Nearly invisible during pictures
• No broken brackets, wires, or other ortho emergencies

Our Invisalign dentists in Kingwood, TX aim to make your treatment process as smooth as possible. We look forward to showing you how easy it can be to straighten your teeth without the hassle of traditional metal braces!

Invisalign candidates will need to be responsible people who will be consistent in wearing the clear aligners as directed by our team at Made Ya Smile Dental. Unlike traditional braces, the Invisalign clear aligners are removable that will require you to wear them 20+ hours a day. Staying compliant with your treatment plan is the key to getting the results you desire. Invisalign treatments for teens and adults are great for those with an overbite, an underbite, or a crossbite that impacts your ability to chew, speak clearly, or have clean teeth. You may have trouble keeping crooked or crowded teeth clean. The aligners would help your teeth shift into a healthier position and is not always just for aesthetic purposes.

Our experienced Invisalign dentists in Kingwood, TX, will take a sequence of 3D cone beam images of your teeth, jaw, and facial bones. Plus, you will have a comprehensive evaluation by our dentist and a set of impressions made of your upper and lower teeth. If it is determined that Invisalign aligners can help with your dental challenges, your images and impressions will be sent out to be made at a partnering Invisalign laboratory. Once your first set of trays come in, we will call you back for a fitting and discuss how to best care for your teeth during your treatment. You will have many different sets of Invisalign trays over time because we will change the aligners when adjustments have to be made. Every patient has his or her own timeframe as to when treatment is complete. We can say that your progress will be checked every 4 – 6 weeks, and our Made Ya Smile Dental team will make recommendations based on how well your teeth are responding to the correction.

We advise that you continue with your biannual cleanings and yearly dental exams outside of the appointments you will be making to our office for an Invisalign appointment. After your last set of Invisalign trays, there may be a recommendation for you to wear a retainer to keep your teeth in their new positions. At Made Ya Smile Dental, we offer Invisalign Vivera® retainers, which are made with the same materials as your aligners. Regardless if you choose to wear a retainer or not, your dentist will make note of any tooth repositioning or bite relapse at your dental appointments in the future.

We can make contact with your insurance provider to see what benefits are available for orthodontic treatments, like Invisalign adult treatments and Invisalign Teen aligners. We understand at Made Ya Smile Dental that your teeth straightening treatments are within your budget if the fees are not covered. You can also apply for a CareCredit® financing option if you would like to see if you qualify.

Are Invisalign clear aligners comfortable?
The material that Invisalign clear aligners are made out of is a flexible, soft material. They fit snuggly over the teeth without the irritation that comes with metal braces. You may experience some discomfort as your teeth shift, but generally speaking, the aligners should be pretty comfortable and in time, you may even forget you're wearing them!

Can anyone have Invisalign treatments?
Both teens and adults can get Invisalign clear aligners. However, if you have metal braces, veneers, crowns, or bridgework, you should talk to our team about your desire for Invisalign clear aligners so we can assess whether you're a good candidate.

How do I clean my Invisalign clear aligners?
You should clean your aligners by using lukewarm water and Invisalign Cleaning Crystals or another cleaning tablet. Then you can simply brush and rinse your aligners. Invisalign clear aligners can become stained, so you should also brush your teeth after eating before putting your aligners back in.

If you are a teen or adult who is hopeful to qualify for Invisalign aligners and Invisalign Teen teeth straightening programs, then call Made Ya Smile Dental.
