At Advanced Dentistry of Spring, Dr. Glass and his team have amassed considerable experience treating complex dental cases by utilizing orthodontics and other advanced restorative procedures at our Spring, TX, dental practice. Depending on your needs and goals, he will develop a personalized treatment plan using the best options available. In addition to traditional comprehensive orthodontics, we offer innovative Invisalign® clear orthodontic aligners.
Invisalign aligners are an innovative solution for straightening teeth quickly and comfortably. Advanced 3-D computer-imaging technology supports a hyper-accurate treatment plan that maps the course from your current teeth' positions to your final smile.
Then an Invisalign lab produces a series of invisible thermoplastic aligners that address issues like over-crowding, spacing, overbite, underbite, or crossbite. We have these trays custom-made to fit your mouth. Each set of aligners uses gentle force to reposition each tooth. After two weeks, you move to the next set of aligners, and so on, as you progress through your treatment's term. You only need to visit our office for evaluation every four to eight weeks. And because we use precise digital planning, Dr. Glass can accurately project how long Invisalign takes. Our team's significant experience and skill have earned Advanced Dentistry of Spring recognition as an Invisalign Preferred Provider.
Comfort, convenience, and discretion are among the most significant advantages of the Invisalign approach. With no metal or wires to irritate your mouth, clear aligners are much more comfortable during daily use. In addition, you don't have to give up certain foods because your aligners are removable for eating, brushing, and flossing. In short, your regular diet and method for keeping your teeth clean and free of plaque are just as easy as before treatment.
Finally, when you wear your aligners the 20-22 hours recommended per day, they virtually disappear into your smile. If discretion is a must, you'll be happy to hear that no one will know you're wearing them.
The Advanced Dentistry of Spring team is excited to offer an innovation; Invisalign Teen®. This unique approach was created for young adult patients over 15. While they work just like standard aligners, each set bears a blue dot that slowly fades. This helps indicate when your child should move to the next set in the series.
While this means one less thing for your teen to remember, it also helps confirm that they are wearing their aligners faithfully because the dot should fade within a given timeframe. In addition, this helps remove a common reason for Invisalign dissatisfaction: not wearing the aligners as directed.
Also, because another thing young people are known for is losing things, Invisalign Teen allows up to six free replacement aligners. Then, in some instances, we may take advantage of SmartForce® Attachments. These are tiny plastic shards of a particular shape that we bond to teeth along with your Invisalign treatment. They encourage the pressure in a specific direction and help keep your aligners in place.
These factors all work together to show how the Invisalign system is constantly evolving and improving to continue as the leader in clear aligner therapy.
The Advanced Dentistry of Spring team is passionate about your smile satisfaction. Instead, we want to help you achieve a straighter and healthier smile without the pain and problems of conventional orthodontics. Our dentists are premier Invisalign providers with preferred status, so you know we can tackle any smile challenges you bring our way.
