Invisalign

Have you always dreamed of achieving a straight, radiant smile without the hassle of traditional braces and prickly wires?

Dr. Terrance Wolbaum offers Invisalign® to gently straighten your teeth, improving your appearance, oral health, and confidence.

Our dentist at Pioneer Hills Dental in Aurora, CO, has been recognized as an Invisalign silver provider and can help you craft a new smile. 

What Is Invisalign?

/

Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment involving a series of removable clear aligners. These aligners can correct minor to moderate misalignment. Both dentists and orthodontists can provide this effective orthodontic option, giving you a more convenient and discreet alternative to traditional braces.

Straightening Your Smile with Invisalign

Invisalign has revolutionized the field of orthodontics. Instead of using traditional metal braces to correct misalignment, Invisalign uses clear removable aligners that are customized to your bite. Patients at Pioneer Hills Dental in Aurora are thrilled with their Invisalign results and love how easy and convenient treatment is. If you’re ready to stop smiling with your mouth closed and feeling insecure about your crooked teeth, Invisalign may be the treatment you’re looking for. Dr. Wolbaum can determine if this solution is right for you during a consultation at our Aurora dental office.

You're Never Too Old To Improve Your Smile

Do you feel like your teeth are slowly trying to shift position? Aging, genetics, and even just using your teeth can cause them to move over time. This leaves many adults wondering why their smile now looks misaligned, even if they had orthodontia as a child. Whether you've never had treatment with orthodontics before or you're looking at re-straightening your smile, Invisalign is a discreet way to get the results you desire.

The Benefits of Invisalign Are Unmatched

When you decide to use Invisalign to correct misalignment, you are investing in comfort, convenience, and incredible-looking results. The Invisalign system is designed to suit each patient’s unique needs while providing consistent, beautiful outcomes. This solution is:

Discreet

Don’t like the appearance of braces? Invisalign clear aligners are virtually invisible, allowing you to straighten your teeth without drawing unwanted attention to your treatment.

Comfortable

Brackets and wires can scrape against your mouth and cause irritation and discomfort, but clear aligners are smooth and fit precisely, making all-day wear easy. 

Easily Removable

Ready to eat or brush? Simply take out your aligners and set them aside. Unlike braces, Invisalign gives you the freedom to easily remove your aligners when needed.

Easy Maintenance

Cleaning your aligners and maintaining your oral health is easy with Invisalign. You can brush and floss as you normally would without having to navigate around braces.

No Food Restrictions

Eat all your favorite crunchy, sticky foods while straightening your teeth. There’s no need to worry about food getting stuck in your orthodontic hardware.

Improved Self-Esteem

Invisalign is a gradual process, but the results are dramatic. You may notice a significant improvement before treatment is complete, giving you confidence about your new look.

Do I Qualify for Invisalign Treatment?

Mild to Moderate Misalignment

Invisalign treatment is best for patients with mild to moderate cases of misalignment. For more severe cases, braces may be recommended. We'll be happy to connect you with a trusted local orthodontist who offers them.

Good Oral Health

Patients must be in good oral health before beginning treatment. Any cavities or infections must be addressed and treated before starting the Invisalign process. We can help clear these issues up with gentle treatment at our office.

Commitment

Invisalign patients must be committed to wearing their aligners for 20 to 22 hours every day. This ensures the best results and reduces the likelihood of needing to prolong treatment. If you think you may struggle with this treatment schedule, traditional braces or clear braces could be great alternative choices.

No Teeth Grinding

Bruxism can wear down aligners and negatively affect treatment, as Invisalign aligners are meant to be worn both during the daytime and while sleeping. Patients who grind their teeth may be better suited for braces.

Have a Complex Case? Invisalign Attachments Can Help.

Invisalign case and trays

Invisalign aligners are scalloped at the gum line to blend seamlessly with your smile. This natural appearance is a great benefit, but it can lessen the force that's applied to the teeth. Invisalign works around this drawback by offering attachments.

Invisalign attachments are small tooth-colored bumps that are bonded to the teeth. They give the aligners additional "grip" on the teeth to keep treatment running as planned. We offer these attachments at our Aurora office for patients with moderate to complex cases of misalignment that could use an extra boost. 

What to Expect During Invisalign Treatment

Invisalign can refine your smile in about 12 to 18 months. Here's what you can generally expect throughout treatment.
Aurora, CO, patients trust Dr. Wolbaum to refine their smiles with Invisalign. He provides a convenient treatment plan centered around their schedule and needs, offering extended hours for busy patients.

Consultation

Dr. Wolbaum will assess your oral health and orthodontic goals to determine if Invisalign is right for you. He will use a digital scanner to take impressions of your mouth and provide a preview of what your results will look like. Our software allows you to see a three-dimensional digital rendition of what your treatment will provide.

Fabrication

Your digital impressions are sent to an Invisalign lab, where technicians will create your aligners. These clear aligners are fully customized for you and your treatment plan. To ensure a comfortable fit that won't irritate your gums, the aligners line up with your gum line, causing minimum friction. You will return to the office to try on your first set of aligners and ensure a proper fit. Dr. Wolbaum will provide instructions and answer any questions you have.

Treatment

Your Invisalign aligners must be worn for 20 to 22 hours every day. After about two weeks, you will switch to a new set of aligners, which gradually shifts your teeth into the proper positions. You will periodically visit our Aurora dental office to assess your progress and make sure treatment is on track. These visits to our office are typically scheduled every four months.

Results

The length of Invisalign treatment varies for everyone, but most patients achieve their results in roughly 12 to 18 months. Once treatment is complete, celebrate and enjoy your new smile. We will provide you with instructions on how to maintain your stunning results.

Less Pain When You Choose Invisalign

Studies show that pain levels in the first few days of starting Invisalign are lower than treatment with a fixed appliance like braces. For a comfortable and effective orthodontic treatment option, choose Invisalign.

Invisalign Tips How to Get the Most Out of Treatment

Our dentist will inform you of all the tips and tricks for a successful Invisalign journey. A few tips to keep in mind include:

Clean Your Aligners

The best way to clean your aligners is by soaking them in warm (not hot) water with a denture cleaning tablet. However, if you're on the go or pressed for time, lightly brushing the aligners with a soft toothbrush can help you clear away surface bacteria. 

Only Drink Water

Remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water. This helps prevent staining and damage to the aligners. Remember to brush your teeth before putting them back in so bacteria doesn't get trapped underneath the aligners.

Commit to Wear Times

Our dentist will let you know the appropriate amount of time you need to wear your aligners for. The daily hours can vary by person and throughout your treatment, but typically we encourage patients to wear their aligners for 20-22 hours a day. 

Be Cautious When Traveling

Invisalign treatment is most effective when the aligners are worn for nearly all hours of the day. If you're traveling, bring an extra set of clear aligners with you in case you lose or damage your current set of aligners and need a new pair to get you through your vacation.

See If Invisalign Is Right For You Request a Consultation

If you're considering Invisalign treatment but aren't sure whether it's the best choice for you, you can join our dental team for a consultation at our Aurora practice.

Dr. Wolbaum is affiliated with various dental associations nationwide and within Colorado. He'll take the time to ensure Invisalign will be the best choice for your needs, and will answer any questions you have about clear aligner.

Invisalign FAQ

How frequent are check-ups?

How often you come back to our office for our dentist to monitor your progress will depend on your unique Invisalign case. Generally, follow-up appointments happen every four months. These follow-up appointments allow Dr. Wolbaum to ensure your results are developing as planned and make adjustments to the course of your treatment, if needed. We work with you along the way to ensure your desired results are met by the end of your treatment. 

How can I maintain my results?

After you have achieved your dream smile, it is important to maintain it. Patients should wear their last set of Invisalign aligners or a new set of retainers to bed every night. This keeps your teeth in position and prevents any shifting from occurring. Meanwhile, it’s essential to keep up with routine dental visits, brush and floss regularly, and maintain good oral hygiene.

Does Invisalign hurt?

Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners offer greater comfort and flexibility. While you may initially experience minor discomfort with each new set, over-the-counter pain relief options like acetaminophen or ibuprofen can help. Once you adapt to wearing Invisalign, you'll likely forget you have them on, even being able to comfortably sleep in them as they work their magic overnight.

Can Invisalign cause jaw pain?

Slight discomfort can occur when switching between Invisalign aligners, including temporary jaw pain for some patients. However, you risk chronic jaw pain by not addressing misalignment issues that can exert pressure on your TMJs over time, possibly leading to a TMJ disorder.
