Pleasanton is a suburb in Alameda County located in the Amador Valley. It has a population of almost 75,000 residents. The city is known for being home to one of the world’s oldest one-mile racetracks in the nation. You can also find the Pleasanton Farmers’ Market, a thriving downtown area, and a variety of trails and wineries. As it’s only about an hour away from San Francisco and Oakland, Pleasanton is also a fairly easy commute to the bigger cities in the area.
Invisalign is a type of thin clear aligner teeth straightening system and orthodontic treatment used to straighten teeth, address crowded teeth and spacing issues, and align your teeth and bite (or moderate malocclusion).
The custom Invisalign aligners are made from a thermoplastic material named SmartTrack. Many patients prefer this method of orthodontics because the aligners are clear and virtually invisible, making them less obvious than wires and brackets that come with traditional braces.
If you’re considering Invisalign clear aligners, there are some criteria we look for when determining if this aligner system is right for a patient. We recommend patients be willing and able to stick to the aligner schedule.
Patients who are self-conscious about wearing braces and who have fairly straightforward crowding or bite issues are also typically ideal candidates for the Invisalign system.
The first step in the Invisalign treatment process is a consultation. During this appointment, we’ll determine if Invisalign is right for you, and if so, we’ll take 3-D images of your mouth and jaw. These images will help us come up with a custom treatment plan and ensure your aligners snugly fit your teeth.
It typically takes a few weeks before your aligners come in. Once they do, your trained Invisalign doctor will show you how to wear them and when to replace them with new ones.
Typically, you’ll need to wear your Invisalign aligners for 20-22 hours a day and take them out when you eat, drink, and brush your teeth. Treatment typically takes 6-18 months, but it can depend on your dental issues and concerns.
Your Invisalign provider or Invisalign technician will determine your treatment time based on your treatment needs.
How much your Invisalign treatment costs will depend on the current condition of your teeth, what changes need to be made, and the results you’re looking for. We’ll discuss specific costs with you during your consultation.
