Invisalign® in Fresno, CA | Beacon Dental Group

Why Choose Invisalign?

Many people want a more beautiful, straighter smile without the look of traditional braces. Beacon Dental Group offers Invisalign to children, teens, and adults. Instead of brackets and wires, Invisalign uses a series of clear retainers to gradually shift your teeth into place over time. These retainers are nearly invisible, and most people can’t even tell you’re wearing them!

How Does It Work?

During your consultation with Dr. Oji, she will evaluate your teeth and determine the best course of action. If Invisalign is the right option for you, she will take X-rays and impressions of your teeth, which will be used to create a series of custom-made retainers.

You will wear these custom-made aligners in a specific sequence to carefully move certain teeth into place with each new tray. Each aligner is worn for about 2 weeks before moving on to the next one. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign retainers are removable, so you can brush and floss your teeth without having to work around brackets or wires.

The length of treatment will depend on your specific needs, which will be discussed with you. Generally, many patients undergo Invisalign treatment for 9 to 15 months and go through 18 to 30 aligners in total.

The aligners will be worn throughout the day and night, and you will only remove them while you eat or brush your teeth. Maintaining proper oral care with Invisalign is easy and convenient because you don’t have to work around brackets, wires, or other oral appliances.
