Do you hide your smile due to crooked teeth? Have you been told you need orthodontic treatment and would like a more discreet option?
Dr. Giang is an Invisalign provider in Garland, TX. It is one of the cosmetic dentistry procedures we offer to the public in Garland, Texas. The Invisalign clear aligner system is often the perfect solution for mild to moderate orthodontic concerns in teens and adults.
With Invisalign, patients can achieve straighter teeth and a healthier smile without the inconveniences associated with traditional metal braces. The top benefits of Invisalign include the following:
- Discreet treatment with invisible braces: the clear aligners are virtually “invisible” when worn. No one has to know you are in orthodontic treatment.
- Comfortable orthodontics: without the need for metal wires, brackets, and attachments, clear aligners are comfortable to wear.
- No diet restrictions: The clear aligners are easily removed so you can enjoy your favorite foods.
- Improved oral hygiene: patients can remove their aligners for tooth brushing and flossing.
Invisalign: What To Expect
The first step is a consultation with Dr. Giang. This allows he and our dental care team to evaluate your teeth and bite before recommending Invisalign as a treatment option. If you are a candidate for Invisalign, we will schedule a visit to take digital impressions of your teeth. These will be sent on to the Invisalign lab along with the personal treatment plan that Dr. Giang has created for your smile.
Within a few weeks, you will return to our office for the placement of the first set of aligners. Dr. Giang will provide details on follow-up visits to monitor your treatment progress. We will also provide information on how to clean the aligners and when to change to a new set. It is important to follow all instructions to maintain your oral health while being treated and to stay on target with your overall plan.
Invisalign FAQs
Is treatment with Invisalign painful or uncomfortable?
The use of Invisalign clear aligners is relatively painless, although most patients will experience some mild discomfort for the first day or two after a new set of aligners is placed. This can be alleviated with over-the-counter pain medication as needed.
How long will I wear the aligners?
The length of treatment and number of aligner sets will vary for each individual. This is dependent on the severity of your orthodontic concerns and aesthetic goals for your smile. Dr. Giang will give you an approximate treatment length after your initial consultation.
Does dental insurance cover Invisalign?
In some cases, dental benefits will cover a portion of your treatment costs. We will gladly provide an estimate of this and your portion of the treatment cost at your initial consultation. Dr. Giang accepts a range of payment options and participates with Care Credit for financing your treatment plan.
