If you are interested in straightening your teeth or adjusting your bite, you may be interested in getting Invisalign in Las Vegas. Misaligned teeth are incredibly commonly seen by dentists and other medical providers, so you are certainly not alone. Recent reports indicate that 90% of people have some form of crooked or shifted teeth. Luckily, not all cases require braces. Now, there are clear aligners for those seeking a lower-profile treatment solution!
In our office, you’ll receive comfortable, compassionate, and personalized care. We make each clear aligner digitally so they’re form-fitting, allowing for the ultimate wearing experience. Not to mention, each Invisalign® aligner is transparent, making clear braces the prime choice for minorly maloccluded teeth. If you are interested in taking proper care of your teeth and want to talk to us about Invisalign, we encourage you to contact our Las Vegas cosmetic dentists at your convenience.

What Is Invisalign?
These are clear series of Invisalign aligners, much like retainers that will correct your teeth positioning over time. They use grooves that are slightly straighter than your teeth to apply corrective pressure. This replaces the need for metal wires while achieving the same goal.
Invisalign is the most popularly known brand name for these aligners, but other clear aligners also exist and may be available to you. If you have any questions about Invisalign, feel free to reach out to our team at Dee for Dentist. We’ll provide invaluable answers and support when you reach out to us.
The only time these should be out of your mouth is while you eat. The goal is to have them in for 22 hours a day to achieve optimal results as quickly as possible. This means that you can continue to snack on your favorite crunchy, sticky, and chewy foods.
How Do Invisalign Aligners Work?
Like traditional braces, Invisalign orthodontic treatment uses gentle pressure to usher a patient’s teeth into a more ideal position. It’s not intended to be painful, but it may be uncomfortable in some cases. If you experience pain, we encourage you to speak with your dentist to see what can be adjusted or if there are any other issues that need to be addressed.
Invisalign uses a handful of different trays, depending on the expected length of treatment. Patients change their trays every couple of weeks or so. This allows changes to happen in accordance with a timeline created by the dentist, reduces discomfort as teeth shift, and eventually results in improved bite and functionality.
After treatment, most patients will be required to wear a retainer for the rest of their life. However, this is not different from the post-treatment care associated with braces. These retainers will help ensure that the positive results of the treatment are long-lasting, maintaining the longevity and functionality of the bite. If you are looking for Invisalign in Las Vegas, contact us today to start with your treatment.
The iTero Element® Allows for Precision and Comfort
Before we can craft your perfectly fitted aligners, we’ll need to scan your mouth. At Dee for Dentist, we use the iTero Element® to gather a crystal-clear 3D rendering to create your aligners. A customized treatment plan is developed using the iTero Element® during the initial consultation to calculate all expenses associated with the procedure. By using this excellent and safe tool, your clear aligners are personalized to your specific teeth and end goal needs.
You’ll wear each aligner for one or two weeks before swapping it for the next in the series. While you won’t completely cut out follow-up visits, the progress check-ins are a lot less frequent as long as your clear aligners are worn and cared for as directed.
How Long Does Invisalign Treatment Take?
The length of the treatment depends on the condition that affects you. Invisalign can assist in correcting the following health concerns:
- Overbite and underbite
- Crowding teeth
- Crossbite and open bite
- Tooth shape
- Crooked teeth
- Dental bonding
- Midline movement
- Intrusion and extrusion
- Missing teeth
- Crowding
- Prognathism
- Dental decay
Because of our advanced technology and clinical expertise, our office can trim down treatment time to provide a better dental experience. Our team often completes treatment in under six months.
In some cases, treatment takes less or more than six months. More complex dental issues may mean you are required to wear your clear aligners for up to 18 months. Your Dee for Dentist provider can help you best understand what timeline you can expect for your Invisalign treatment plan in Las Vegas and answer any questions you may have.
Should I Get Braces or Invisalign?
If you are unsure about whether you should get braces or Invisalign, we can help you finalize your decision. Both treatment options have similar price points for those with insurance, though there may be differences based on different coverage and your dental provider.
Invisalign is well-known for being a more aesthetically pleasing option for some, meaning it may be preferable in some cases compared to traditional metal braces.
Invisalign and braces both require some upkeep, and this care takes similar amounts of time. Both devices bring about the best results when worn and cared for as instructed by your dental provider. However, braces may be easier to care for if you own a water or air flosser, which may be an additional cost you will want to consider.
Braces may be preferable if you’re concerned about potentially losing your Invisalign. Additionally, braces may be the only option available to those with more complex or severe issues with their teeth alignment.
If you have any questions about which tool is better for you, we encourage you to reach out to Dee for Dentist. During a consultation with one of our talented and dedicated providers, you can communicate with our team, and we can provide helpful answers and information. We would be happy to help you determine what option is best for you and your overall lifestyle.
