Benefits of Invisalign and Clear Aligners at Espire Dental Colorado Springs

Choosing Invisalign or clear aligners at Espire Dental offers several advantages, making it a preferred choice for many patients:

Discreet and Nearly Invisible: One of the most significant benefits of clear aligners is that they are virtually invisible. Most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them, allowing you to straighten your teeth without the stigma or self-consciousness often associated with metal braces.
Comfortable and Removable: Unlike traditional braces, clear aligners are smooth and don’t have metal parts that can irritate your gums or cheeks. Plus, the aligners are removable, meaning you can easily remove them to eat, brush, and floss. This makes maintaining good oral hygiene much simpler.
Fewer Office Visits: Invisalign typically requires fewer in-office visits than traditional braces. You’ll receive several sets of aligners at a time, allowing you to switch to the next set in your treatment plan from the comfort of your home. We’ll schedule check-ups periodically to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments.
Custom Treatment Plans: Every smile is unique, which is why we create a personalized treatment plan tailored specifically to your needs. Using advanced 3D imaging technology, we map out your entire treatment so you know exactly what to expect, from the start of your journey to your final, beautiful results.

The Invisalign and Clear Aligner Process

At Espire Dental Colorado Springs, we make straightening your teeth with Invisalign and clear aligners as seamless as possible. Here’s what you can expect:

Consultation and Smile Assessment: Your journey begins with a personalized consultation with one of our expert dentists. During this visit, we’ll assess your teeth, discuss your smile goals, and determine if Invisalign or clear aligners are right for you. If you have a more complex case, Dr. Gasper will evaluate whether traditional braces are better.
Custom Treatment Plan: If clear aligners are right for you, we’ll take precise digital impressions of your teeth using advanced 3D imaging technology. This allows us to create a customized treatment plan that maps out each step of your journey, showing you exactly how your teeth will move throughout the process.
Receiving Your Aligners: Once your aligners are ready, you’ll return to our office to receive your first set. We’ll guide you on wearing and caring for them and provide you with multiple sets to take home. You’ll switch to a new set of aligners every 1-2 weeks, gradually shifting your teeth into place.
Progress Check-Ups: We’ll schedule periodic check-ups every few weeks to monitor your progress and ensure your treatment is on track. These quick and easy visits allow us to make any necessary adjustments to your plan.
Reveal Your New Smile: You’ll have a beautifully aligned smile once your treatment is complete! We’ll provide you with retainers to help maintain your results and keep your smile looking its best for years.

How long does Invisalign treatment take?

Invisalign treatment typically takes 6 to 18 months, depending on your needs. Your dentist will provide a more accurate timeline during your consultation.

Are clear aligners as effective as traditional braces?

Clear aligners are just as effective as traditional braces for mild to moderate misalignment cases. However, for more complex cases, Dr. Gasper may recommend traditional braces to achieve the best results.

Can I eat and drink with my aligners in?

No, you should remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water. This prevents staining and keeps your aligners in good condition. Be sure to brush your teeth before putting your aligners back in.

How often will I need to visit the dentist during Invisalign treatment?

You’ll typically need to visit us every 6-8 weeks to check your progress and receive new aligners. These visits are quick and easy.

How do I care for my clear aligners?

Cleaning your aligners is simple: rinse them regularly with water and brush them gently with a soft toothbrush. Avoid using hot water, as it can warp the plastic.

Will I need a retainer after Invisalign treatment?

Yes, just like traditional braces, you’ll need to wear a retainer after your Invisalign treatment to maintain your results and prevent your teeth from shifting back.
