Livermore (often called Livermore Valley) is a city in central California in Alameda County. It’s part of the San Francisco Bay Area and has a population of a little under 83,000 residents. With this population, it’s the most populous city in the Tri-Valley area. The city is known for being one of the oldest wine regions in the state, as a hub for several different scientific laboratories, and the home of the Centennial Bulb. It’s home to Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, where scientists discovered a new element in 2000, Livermorium.
Invisalign is a clear aligner system and orthodontic treatment used for teeth straightening and is a great alternative to traditional braces. With the use of custom removable aligners, the treatment helps you gradually move and straighten your teeth. And because the aligners are completely clear, they are almost invisible on the teeth, making them a great option for patients seeking a more discreet option over metal braces.
Most patients seeking to straighten their teeth and address bite issues are good candidates for Invisalign clear aligners. That said, there are some criteria we follow to determine who this innovative treatment is right for. You should be willing to wear your aligners for at least 22 hours a day and stick to a good oral hygiene routine with brushing and flossing regularly. The Invisalign system is best for those with moderate malocclusion, including things like crooked teeth, gaps, overbites and underbites, and tooth crowding.
The Invisalign treatment process will begin with us digitally scanning your teeth. This allows us to not only come up with a custom treatment plan but also ensure your aligners fit your teeth properly. After your scan, it will take several weeks for your aligners to be made. Once they come in, you’ll return to the office and we’ll show you how to place them over your teeth and ensure they fit properly. We’ll give you several weeks’ worth of Invisalign trays and set up a time for you to change them out each week. From there, you’ll be able to change your aligners from the comfort of your home as your teeth gradually shift into place.
As treatment times vary depending on your unique needs, how long treatment takes differs from patient to patient. Treatment time can range from six months to two years.
