Invisalign: Your Path to Straighter Teeth

Achieving a straighter smile doesn’t have to involve bulky metal braces. At OHIOSmiles in Cambridge, OH, Dr. Antalis offers Invisalign®, the modern and discreet way to straighten teeth.

 This innovative treatment uses clear aligners to gently move your teeth into their ideal position while maintaining your confidence and comfort. Whether you’re addressing crowding, gaps, or mild to moderate misalignment, Invisalign® is a customizable solution tailored to fit your lifestyle.

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a modern approach to orthodontic cosmetic treatment that straightens teeth using a series of virtually invisible aligners. These aligners are custom-made for your teeth, ensuring a comfortable fit and optimal movement. 

Unlike traditional braces with noticeable brackets and wires, Invisalign aligners are made from a smooth, clear plastic that is practically undetectable. This discrete nature makes Invisalign an appealing choice for adults and teens who want to straighten their teeth without the self-consciousness often associated with traditional braces.

How Invisalign Works to Correct Your Smile

The Invisalign process begins with a consultation with Dr. Antalis. During this initial appointment, she will take impressions or a digital scan of your teeth. This allows her to create a personalized treatment plan just for you. Once your treatment plan is established, a series of custom-made Invisalign aligners will be fabricated.

You’ll wear each set of aligners for about one to two weeks, depending on Dr. Antalis’s instructions. As you progress through each set of aligners, they’ll gradually shift your teeth into their proper positions. Typically, you’ll wear the aligners for 20 to 22 hours daily, removing them only for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing.

You may feel some pressure when you begin wearing your Invisalign aligners. Invisalign uses gentle pressure to create tooth movement and work toward your new smile.

Dr. Antalis will monitor your progress through regular appointments, ensuring your treatment stays on track. Once your treatment is complete, a custom retainer may be recommended to maintain your results and prevent your teeth from shifting back.
