Specializing in Invisalign in Burien, WA
Premiere Seattle Orthodontic Treatment with Invisalign
Here at Orthodontics of Burien, we offer a variety of treatment options for our patients to choose from. Our Seattle, WA orthodontist Dr. Jorge Peralta has the experience and expertise to provide you individualized care that really targets your orthodontic needs and personal goals. For those late teen and adult patients who desire straighter teeth without the use of braces, brackets and wires, we proudly offer the Invisalign system.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign uses a series of invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners that no one can tell you're wearing. So, you can smile more during treatment as well as after. Invisalign is made with 3-D computer imaging technology and has been proven very effective at correcting certain spacing and alignment issues.
Why would I want Invisalign?
There are many benefits to wearing Invisalign clear aligners.
- Not only are the aligners invisible, they are removable, so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment.
- Brushing and flossing are no problem. Your oral hygiene routine will go uninterrupted and you'll be able to clean your mouth fully twice a day.
- Invisalign trays are also comfortable, with no metal to cause mouth abrasions during treatment.
- No metal or wires usually means you spend less time in your doctor's office getting adjustments.
- Invisalign also allows you to view your own virtual treatment plan when you start so you can see how your straight teeth will look when your treatment is complete!
How does Invisalign work?
You will wear each set of aligners for about 2 weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. As you replace each aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will move — little by little, week by week — until they have straightened to the final position Dr. Peralta has prescribed. You'll visit our Seattle orthodontic office about once every 6 weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned. Total treatment time averages 9-15 months and the average number of aligners worn during treatment is between 18 and 30, but both will vary from case to case.
Is Invisalign Right for Me?
Invisalign is an ideal orthodontic treatment option for our adult and late teen patients who might be more concerned with aesthetics during treatment. Dr. Peralta provides quality orthodontic care and has been trusted by thousands of patients and parents throughout the greater Seattle area for years.
