Transform your smile discreetly with clear, comfortable aligners. Lumiere Dental brings expert Invisalign treatment to Wicker Park, offering personalized care and stunning results in as little as 6 months.
Crooked or misaligned teeth can significantly impact your confidence and oral health, making you hesitant to smile freely in social or professional settings. If you’ve been waiting years to address your orthodontic concerns but worry about the appearance and discomfort of traditional metal braces disrupting your daily life, Invisalign may be the perfect solution to achieve your dream smile.
At Lumiere Dental, we understand the importance of achieving a beautiful, straight smile without compromising your lifestyle. Dr. Ryan Woitas and our experienced team provide clear aligner therapy using advanced Invisalign technology, offering a discreet and effective solution for straightening teeth while maintaining your professional appearance and comfort throughout treatment. As your trusted cosmetic dentist in Wicker Park, we combine our patient-focused approach with a welcoming environment, so you can feel confident and comfortable throughout your orthodontic treatment.
Invisalign is a modern orthodontic system that uses a series of custom-made, clear plastic aligners to gradually move your teeth into their proper positions. Unlike traditional braces, which use fixed metal wires and brackets, these virtually invisible aligners can be removed for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing, making them ideal for busy professionals and families.
This breakthrough in orthodontic treatment offers a discreet alternative to metal braces. Each aligner is precisely crafted using advanced 3D printing technology to fit your teeth perfectly and apply gentle, controlled pressure to guide tooth movement. Our caring team works closely with you to determine whether this is the right solution for your unique orthodontic needs.
We understand starting Invisalign can be overwhelming, but with our trusted team’s support, you can know what to expect throughout your treatment timeline. As your dentist in Wicker Park, we guide you through every step of your personalized journey, including the following:
Before you start Invisalign, we begin with a comprehensive examination where we assess your teeth, bite, and overall oral health. Then, we take digital impressions and photographs to create your personalized treatment plan using advanced computer modeling technology.
Our advanced digital imaging technology creates a precise 3D map of your teeth, allowing you to see a preview of your expected results before treatment begins. This map of your smile is a model for your Invisalign aligners, ensuring a precise fit that effectively shifts your teeth.
Once your custom aligners are ready, you’ll return to our practice to receive your first few sets along with detailed instructions for proper wear and care. You’ll wear each set of aligners for approximately two weeks before progressing to the next set in the series. Wearing your aligners 20-22 hours per day, removing them only for meals and oral hygiene, helps keep your treatment on track.
We will monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment timeline at periodic check-ups. The gradual pressure applied by each aligner gently shifts your teeth into alignment over time.
Treatment duration varies depending on the complexity of your case, but most patients complete their Invisalign treatment in 12 to 18 months. Some minor adjustments may require only six to 10 months, while more complex cases might take up to 24 months to achieve optimal results.
After completing your Invisalign treatment, wearing retainers becomes essential for maintaining your newly aligned smile. We will provide custom retainers and specific instructions for wear to prevent your teeth from gradually shifting back to their original positions.
Clear aligners offer numerous advantages over traditional orthodontic treatments, particularly for adults and teenagers who want to maintain their smile’s appearance during treatment. The transparent material makes the aligners nearly invisible, allowing you to smile confidently throughout your orthodontic journey. Over 20 million people have chosen Invisalign because it offers numerous benefits, including the following:
The removable nature of Invisalign aligners means you can continue enjoying all your favorite foods without restrictions. Unlike traditional braces, there are no dietary limitations or concerns about food getting stuck in metal brackets and wires.
Invisalign aligners are also more comfortable than traditional braces since they don’t have sharp metal edges that can irritate your cheeks and gums. The smooth plastic surface provides a gentler treatment experience while delivering effective results.
Invisalign technology can effectively treat a wide range of orthodontic issues, including the following:
The advanced technology behind Invisalign continues to evolve, making it possible to treat increasingly complex cases that previously required traditional braces. We will evaluate your situation to determine whether Invisalign will work for you.
