The Invisalign® clear aligner system might be the perfect solution for you! At Holbert Family Orthodontics in Richmond and New Kent, VA, we are proud to be a Platinum Provider of Invisalign®, reflecting our extensive experience and success in treating hundreds of cases with these clear, comfortable and effective aligners. If you’re considering clear aligners, it’s essential to choose an orthodontist with the right expertise.

What Is Invisalign®?

Invisalign® is an advanced orthodontic treatment that utilizes customized clear aligners to gradually move your teeth into the desired position. Unlike traditional braces, there are no metal brackets or wires, making Invisalign® a discreet, comfortable and convenient way to achieve a healthier smile. The aligners are made from SmartTrack® material, which is smooth, flexible and virtually invisible, allowing you to straighten your teeth without drawing attention to your orthodontic treatment.

At Holbert Family Orthodontics, we use advanced technology, including the iTero® Element 3D digital scanner, to create precise digital impressions of your teeth. This allows for a more accurate treatment plan tailored to your unique orthodontic needs. The aligners should be worn at least 22 hours a day for optimal results, and they are removed only for eating, drinking and brushing.

Invisalign® Options at Holbert Family Orthodontics

We understand that every smile is unique, which is why we offer several Invisalign® options to cater to patients of all ages. Whether you are an adult, teen, or young child, we have a clear aligner solution that suits your needs.

Invisalign® for Adults

For adults who want to improve their smiles without the visibility of traditional braces, Invisalign® is a fantastic option. The clear, removable aligners are perfect for professionals and anyone who wants to straighten their teeth discreetly. You can continue your daily activities, attend meetings and socialize without worrying about your orthodontic treatment being noticeable. Holbert Family Orthodontics will guide you through every step of the process, helping you achieve the smile you’ve always wanted.

Invisalign® for Teens

Invisalign® For Teens is designed specifically to meet the needs of adolescents. Traditional braces can make maintaining good oral hygiene challenging, but with Invisalign®, teens can easily brush and floss their teeth as usual. The aligners are also comfortable and less likely to cause irritation compared to metal braces, making the treatment process smoother. Plus, the aligners have a special feature—a blue compliance indicator—so parents and orthodontists can ensure they are being worn correctly.

Invisalign® First

Invisalign® First is an innovative approach for young children who need early orthodontic intervention. This option helps with arch development, spacing, crowding and other alignment issues before all of a child’s permanent teeth have erupted. It’s a comfortable and discreet alternative to traditional braces, allowing young children to experience effective orthodontic treatment without the anxiety that can sometimes accompany more traditional methods.

Invisalign® Touch Up!

Teeth can shift over time, even after previous orthodontic treatment. If you’ve noticed some movement in your smile, Holbert Family Orthodontics offers Invisalign® Touch Up! Using the same trusted Invisalign® technology, we can quickly and effectively correct minor shifts in just a few months. It’s a simple way to get your smile back to where you want it to be.

Invisalign® SmileView

Curious about how Invisalign® can transform your smile? Try the Invisalign® SmileView tool! With just a selfie, you can see a side-by-side comparison of your current smile and what it could look like after treatment. It’s a fun and convenient way to get a preview of your potential results before committing to the treatment.

Invisalign Vivera Retainer Program

Preserving your new smile is just as crucial as creating it. After completing your Invisalign® treatment, you’ll need to wear retainers to keep your teeth in their new, perfect positions. Our Invisalign® Vivera Retainer Program provides custom-made retainers designed to be durable and comfortable. With a subscription, you will receive four sets of retainers, ensuring you always have a backup. Vivera retainers are made with the same advanced technology and materials as Invisalign® aligners, so you can continue to enjoy a comfortable fit and excellent results.

Cleaning Tips for Invisalign® Aligners

Keeping your Invisalign® aligners clean is crucial for both hygiene and aesthetics. Here are some do’s and don’ts to keep in mind during your treatment:

Do:

  • Clean your aligners twice daily, just like your regular brushing routine.
  • Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and a small amount of toothpaste to gently clean the aligners.
  • Rinse them under cool water whenever you remove them.
  • Soak them daily in an approved cleaning solution to keep them fresh.

Don’t:

  • Refrain from eating or drinking anything other than water while your aligners are in.
  • Don’t leave your aligners out in the open, as they can get misplaced or damaged.
  • Avoid soaking them in mouthwash, as it can discolor the clear material.

Following these guidelines will ensure that your aligners stay clear and effective throughout your treatment.
