Get Invisible Braces from San Diego Dentist Dr. David Eshom
For patients seeking Invisalign in San Diego, CA, finding the right dentist or orthodontist to administer the treatment is the first step. For doctors to provide their patients with Invisalign treatments, they must attend specialized trainings and will have to continue this training to be recognized as a preferred Invisalign provider. Invisalign is a less visible, more comfortable alternative to traditional braces, providing a more satisfying experience for smile correction.
Allied Technologies introduced this dental appliance in 1999, which uses a series of invisible aligners to gradually guide teeth into position through a gentle process. During the initial consultation, impressions and photographs are taken of the patient's teeth. The impressions are then used in creating a three-dimensional computerized image of a series of gradual movements to achieve the desired results.
Custom-made aligners for each of these steps are then created using this computer model. The series of aligners are then created at the Align Technologies dental laboratory and sent to the doctor providing the San Diego, CA Invisalign treatments. The patient will then receive one or two aligners from the dentist at each appointment, typically scheduled in four- to six-week intervals and must wear them at least 20 hours each day.
A typical series of Invisalign treatments will require 20 to 30 aligners and last less than a year; however, the amount of time needed may vary between patients. Patients can remove aligners for drinking, eating, brushing and flossing and will switch to a different aligner about every two weeks. If you would like to learn more about Invisalign in San Diego, CA, schedule a consultation with a local provider. Prior to your appointment for a San Diego, CA Invisalign consultation, contact your insurance company to determine the coverage available and be sure to ask your provider about payment plans or financing options to cover costs that might not be paid by your insurance.
