What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a treatment system that utilizes clear, removable aligners to progressively move teeth. Every aligner is tailor-made to fit comfortably over your teeth, gently shifting them into position. There are no wires or brackets like there are with metal braces—just a series of clear trays that are almost invisible when in place.

Conditions Invisalign Can Treat

Invisalign easily corrects a variety of orthodontic issues, such as:

• Overcrowded teeth
• Gaps and spacing problems
• Crossbite
• Overbite
• Underbite

Invisalign Services at Dann Orthodontics

Invisalign treatment at Dann Orthodontics is not a cookie-cutter approach. We have a variety of Invisalign services that cater to various age ranges, orthodontic issues, and lifestyle demands. Dr. Carl Dann carefully designs each treatment plan with the help of advanced diagnostic equipment and digital modeling software. These are the things we offer under the Invisalign umbrella:

1. Comprehensive Invisalign for Adults

Perfect for patients requiring comprehensive treatment of intricate alignment problems like crossbites, spacing, crowding, and bite misalignment. This package features elaborate mapping of treatments, frequent in-person visits, and complete supervision throughout alignment.

2. Invisalign Teen

Geared specifically for teenage patients, Invisalign Teen features special elements to support developing mouths:

• Eruption tabs to make room for emerging teeth
• Blue compliance indicators to monitor aligner wear time
• Six replacement aligners to accommodate inadvertent losses

3. Limited or Express Invisalign

For patients with mild alignment problems or relapse cases with prior orthodontic therapy, we have Invisalign Express—a condensed, less complex version of complete treatment. These cases usually consist of 5–10 aligners and are finished quickly.

4. Invisalign with Attachments

Certain patients need more accuracy in their treatment. In these instances, small tooth-colored devices can be implemented to give the aligners a tighter grip on the teeth. They will direct more intricate movements with ease without compromising aesthetics.

5. Refinement & Post-Treatment Retention

Refinements can be done after your Invisalign treatment with additional aligners to achieve a perfect result. We also offer Vivera® retainers—custom, clear retainers meant to hold teeth in position and prevent regression over time.

How the Invisalign Process Works

On your first visit to our Orlando office, we'll begin by digitally scanning your teeth using iTero technology, eliminating the need for messy physical impressions. This scan generates a detailed 3D model of your mouth and then maps your entire treatment plan.

Your aligners are made from SmartTrack material and are intended to be comfortable, perfectly fitting, and efficient in moving your teeth. Based on your progress, you'll wear each aligner set for approximately 1–2 weeks before moving on to the next one in the series. Aligners should be worn 20–22 hours a day and taken off only when eating, drinking (something other than water), brushing, or flossing.

You'll come into our office every 8–10 weeks to check progress and pick up your next set of aligners.

Technology That Drives Invisalign

Dann Orthodontics uses advanced tools to provide accuracy, comfort, and quicker results with Invisalign treatment. A few of the technologies that back our process are:

• iTero Element Scanner: Produces precise digital impressions and visualizes treatment results before making aligners.
• ClinCheck Software: Enables Dr. Dann to plan out every movement of your teeth on the computer, with predictable outcomes.
• SmartTrack Material: The unique material used in these aligners makes them more comfortable, easier to put in and take out, and more effective for controlling tooth movement.
• Progress Monitoring Tools: These computerized tools enable us to monitor your progress and make necessary adjustments on schedule for maximum results.
