Invisalign® Clear Aligners

If you’ve been longing for straighter teeth but dread the thought of metal braces, Invisalign® Clear Aligners at Hammons Family Dental might be the perfect solution. This innovative orthodontic system offers a discreet, comfortable way to correct misalignment and improve oral health. Serving North Austin and Georgetown, Texas, we’re committed to helping our patients achieve the smiles of their dreams without sacrificing convenience or confidence.

What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign is an advanced orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually shift your teeth into their ideal positions. Each aligner set is custom-fabricated based on digital scans of your mouth, ensuring a precise and personalized fit. The trays are nearly invisible when worn, making them an attractive alternative to traditional braces for image-conscious teens and adults.

How Invisalign Works

The treatment process is straightforward:

Digital Scanning and Treatment Planning: We capture a 3D image of your teeth using specialized scanning technology. These images allow us to map out the exact movements needed to achieve your goals, displaying a visual projection of your future smile.
Custom Aligners: A set of aligners is created specifically for you. Each aligner is designed to apply controlled force to certain teeth, guiding them closer to their target position.
Regular Wear: You’ll wear each aligner for about 1-2 weeks, removing them only to eat, drink anything other than water, and for brushing or flossing. Consistency is key—most patients wear their aligners for 20-22 hours a day.
Progress Checkups: Approximately every 6-8 weeks, you’ll visit Hammons Family Dental for a quick progress check and to receive your new sets of aligners.
Completion and Retention: Once your treatment phase is complete, we’ll discuss retainers to preserve your new smile. Retainers are typically worn at night to prevent teeth from shifting back.

Life with Invisalign

One of the advantages of Invisalign is that it minimally impacts your daily routine. You can maintain your usual brushing and flossing habits without navigating around wires and brackets. Plus, you won’t have to forgo hard or sticky foods—like popcorn or gum—that are typically off-limits with metal braces. Simply take out the aligners during meals and slip them back on afterward.

That said, the discipline to wear the aligners consistently is crucial for success. Patients who frequently remove the trays or forget to wear them for the recommended hours per day may see slower progress or compromised results. Setting phone reminders or aligning the treatment with daily routines can help you stay on track.

Who Can Benefit?

Invisalign effectively treats a range of mild to moderate alignment issues, including:

Overcrowding: When there isn’t enough space for teeth, leading to overlap or twisting.
Gaps: Spaces or diastemas between teeth that can affect appearance and bite function.
Overbite/Underbite: Misalignment in how your top and bottom teeth come together, which can strain the jaw.
Crossbite: When some upper teeth sit inside your lower teeth rather than outside.

However, severe or complex cases may still require traditional braces or other orthodontic interventions. After examining your teeth and bite, we’ll recommend the best strategy for achieving a healthy, attractive smile.

Benefits of Invisalign

Discreet Appearance: The clear aligners are barely noticeable, letting you smile confidently during treatment.
Comfort: Made from smooth plastic, Invisalign trays lack the brackets and wires that can irritate gums or cheeks.

Convenience: You can easily remove the aligners to eat your favorite foods, practice normal oral hygiene, or attend important events.
Predictable Results: Advanced 3D imaging ensures that each tray movement is methodical and accurate.

Comprehensive Services: Should you need additional treatments—like tooth-colored fillings, veneers, or routine cleanings—we can address all your dental needs in one convenient location.

What to Expect After Invisalign

Once your treatment is complete, you’ll likely wear a retainer to maintain your newfound alignment. While it may be tempting to skip this step, retention is crucial to protect your investment. Teeth have a natural tendency to drift back to their original positions if not properly supported. We’ll provide clear instructions on how often to wear your retainer and how to care for it.

Because Invisalign corrects structural issues, it can also enhance your self-confidence. Patients often report feeling more comfortable smiling in photos, social settings, and professional environments. This boost can lead to improved interactions and opportunities—an intangible yet valuable outcome of a straighter smile.

Boosting Oral Health

While the aesthetic appeal of a straighter smile is a significant draw, Invisalign also offers important health benefits. Aligned teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of gum disease and cavities. Properly positioned teeth also help evenly distribute bite forces, lowering the likelihood of grinding, jaw pain, or uneven tooth wear. The end result is not just a more appealing smile, but a healthier one.
