Invisalign Clear BracesMany adults and older teens would love a uniform smile, but hate the idea of metal braces. Invisalign® clear braces allow patients to achieve perfect smiles without the discomfort and embarrassment of traditional orthodontics. You don’t have to sacrifice your dignity or appearance to achieve straighter teeth—our Invisalign®-certified dentists in Bellevue, WA can provide inconspicuous dental care.
Metal braces and Invisalign® clear braces can both be used to realign your teeth. With conventional braces, metal wires deliver force via tension on the brackets. Invisalign® clear braces deliver force over the entire surface of each tooth via custom-molded, acrylic trays called aligners. As you switch from aligner to aligner in the series, your teeth will move little by little until they reach the desired position. We begin the process with a consultation so that Dr. Kim or an associate at Bellevue Prime Dental Group can examine your teeth and bite, and discuss whether Invisalign® clear braces are the right option for you. Then, we will take photos and impression of your teeth in order to produce a digital model of your mouth. At the Invisalign®-certified lab, technicians will use this data and treatment recommendations from your dentist to fabricate all your aligners. Patients will wear each aligner for two weeks, and switch to the next one. The aligners are clearly labeled and easily slip over your teeth. We will see you in our Bellevue Prime Dental Group about every six weeks to monitor your progress and give you the next group of aligners. Average treatment length is 6 to 24 months, and patients often wear between 18 and 30 aligners worn during the whole process. Achieve beautiful results and optimal oral health at Prime Dental Group.
