Top Invisalign® Provider in the Area
Invisalign® treatment with Dr. Waters, Dr. Clayton, and the team at Innovative Orthodontics can give you beautiful, straight teeth without braces.
Invisalign® straightens your teeth without wires and brackets, using a series of clear, customized, removable appliances called aligners. It's virtually undetectable, which means hardly anyone will know that you're straightening your teeth.
The Invisalign Process
The Invisalign system is made of clear, lightweight plastic aligners that fit over your teeth and are designed to straighten your smile. They're removable, making it easier to eat, drink, brush and floss.
Invisalign is much more comfortable than traditional metal bracket braces and can give you stunning results. The Invisalign system combines advanced 3-D computer graphics technology with 100-year-old science of orthodontics. Invisalign aligners are designed to move your teeth in small steps to the desired final position prescribed by your orthodontist. Each aligner is precisely calibrated and manufactured to fit your mouth at each stage of the treatment plan.
Your first step is to visit our office to determine if Invisalign is right for you. At your initial consultation at Innovative Orthodontics, we'll take digital scans and X-rays to create a 3D image of your mouth.
After sending precise treatment instructions, Invisalign uses advanced computer technology to translate these instructions in a sequence of finely calibrated aligners - as few as 12 or as many as 48.
Each aligner is worn for about two weeks and only taken out to eat, brush and floss. As you replace each aligner with the next, your teeth will begin to move gradually -week-by-week until the final alignment prescribed is attained. Then you'll be smiling like you never have before!
You wear the trays for about 22 hours a day but can remove them for brushing your teeth and eating. Based on your individual needs, and the treatment plan put in place by Innovative Orthodontics, you'll wear several sets of trays throughout your orthodontic treatment. You'll even start to notice a change in just a few months!
A Modern Approach
Invisalign takes a modern approach to straightening teeth. It uses a custom-made series of aligners created for you and only you. These aligner trays are made of smooth, comfortable and virtually invisible plastic that you wear over your teeth.
Wearing the aligners will gently move your teeth into place little by little, based on the exact movements Dr. Waters or Dr. Clayton plans for you.
With Invisalign treatment at Innovative Orthodontics, there are no metal brackets to attach and no wires to tighten.
At Innovative Orthodontics, you'll get a great smile without a treatment that gets in the way of your daily life. You just pop in a new set of aligners about every two weeks, until your treatment is complete.
The best part about the whole process is that most people won't even know you're straightening your teeth.
Our team has a lot of experience treating patients with Invisalign, and we're excited to offer this technology to our Savannah, Rincon, and Pooler braces patients.
Great for Both Adults & Teens
Invisalign doesn't use any brackets, wires and bands like traditional braces, so this system meets the unique needs of teens around the Savannah area. At your initial consultation, Dr. Waters or Dr. Clayton will be able to determine if Invisalign is a good option for your teenager.
Cost of Invisalign in Savannah
At Innovative Orthodontics, we understand that every patient's needs are different. Many factors determine the cost of Invisalign treatment, and in most cases, the cost of Invisalign is comparable to traditional braces and covered by most dental insurance plans in Georgia.
Financing options are also available to make Invisalign more affordable for your family. The Innovative Orthodontics team is always here to answer any questions regarding financing, payment plans, and insurance claims.
Perfect for Busy Schedules
Invisalign for Teens treatment is amazing for busy parents in Savannah, Rincon, Pooler, and surrounding areas because there are never any emergency appointments from broken wires or brackets.
Invisalign also requires fewer appointments than traditional metal braces because your teen receives their Invisalign aligners in advance, and your visits require less time in our office.
The typical Invisalign for Teens patient sees Dr. Waters or Dr. Clayton once every eight weeks for a total average treatment time of 9 to 15 months.
Differences Between Invisalign & Braces
Unlike traditional braces, smooth plastic Invisalign aligners don't have metal components that can irritate your mouth.
Because they're removed when you eat, you won't have to watch what you eat like you would when wearing braces - bring on the popcorn and peanuts!
In fact, the aligners must be removed for eating and for drinking anything other than water. You need to make sure you're willing to do that before you decide on Invisalign clear braces.
To prevent staining, you'll need to clean your teeth before putting the aligners back on after each time you eat.
Brushing and flossing are also much easier than with traditional braces, since you don't have to work around any brackets and wires.
Talk to Us About Invisalign
It's important to wear your aligners for at least 22 hours each day, as recommended by Dr. Waters and Dr. Clayton so they can do their job and straighten your teeth. But, with Invisalign, you can remove your aligners for special occasions.
Like with traditional braces, you'll generally need to wear a retainer after Invisalign treatment to maintain your new alignment-and your confident new smile.
Our doctors may not recommend Invisalign for some more complex alignment or bite issues, or for those who have bridgework. We can advise you about what options are best for you.
