Finding the right orthodontic treatment can transform not just your smile, but your entire confidence. For adults and teens in Maywood, NJ, who want straighter teeth without the visibility and restrictions of traditional braces, Invisalign offers a revolutionary approach to achieving the smile you’ve always wanted. This virtually invisible treatment uses custom-made aligners to slowly move your teeth into the right positions.
At Roman Dental Arts, our father-daughter team, Dr. Donald Roman and Dr. Alissa Roman, understands how important it is for you to feel comfortable throughout your orthodontic journey. We’ve helped countless Maywood patients achieve beautiful, straight smiles through Invisalign treatment, combining our years of cosmetic dental experience with personalized care that makes each visit feel warm and welcoming.
We start with a detailed consultation to examine your teeth and discuss the smile you’re dreaming of. Using advanced 3D imaging technology, we make a digital model of your teeth and map out the movements needed to get your desired results.
Your custom aligners are crafted from smooth, comfortable plastic that fits snugly over your teeth. Each set of aligners is designed to make small, controlled movements, gradually shifting your teeth into their proper positions. You’ll typically wear each set for about two weeks before moving to the next set in your series.
The restorative treatment process varies for each patient, but most people complete their Invisalign journey in 12 to 18 months. Throughout your treatment, you’ll visit our Maywood office frequently so we are able to monitor your progress and ensure your teeth are progressing according to plan.
The clear plastic aligners are invisible when you wear them, allowing you to straighten your teeth without drawing unwanted attention to your mouth. Unlike braces, you are able to take out your aligners when eating, drinking, brushing, or flossing, which means you can enjoy all your favorite foods and maintain excellent oral hygiene.
Comfort is another significant advantage of Invisalign treatment. The smooth plastic aligners won’t irritate your cheeks or gums the way metal brackets and wires can. You may experience some mild discomfort when you switch to a new set of aligners, but this typically subsides within a day or two as your teeth adjust.
Professional and social benefits make Invisalign particularly appealing to adults. You can attend important meetings, give presentations, or socialize with confidence, knowing your orthodontic treatment remains virtually undetectable. The removable nature of the aligners also means you won’t have dietary restrictions that come with traditional braces.
While traditional orthodontics can effectively straighten teeth, many patients prefer the discretion and convenience of Invisalign. Traditional braces require careful cleaning around brackets and wires, and certain foods can damage the appliances.
SureSmile is another clear aligner option we offer, and during your consultation, we’ll discuss which treatment may be most appropriate for your specific needs and lifestyle. Clear aligners are an excellent choice for some cases, while more complex situations may be better suited for traditional orthodontic methods.
The decision between different orthodontic treatments depends on factors such as the complexity of your case, your lifestyle, and your commitment to wearing removable aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day. We’ll help you understand all your options and make an informed choice about your orthodontic care.
Maintaining your aligners is straightforward and important for successful treatment. Clean your aligners every day with a soft toothbrush, avoiding hot water that could warp the plastic. Special cleaning crystals or tablets designed for clear aligners can help keep them fresh and clear.
Continue your regular preventive dentistry routine throughout your Invisalign treatment. Brush and floss your teeth before putting them back in, and consider using an antibacterial mouthwash to maintain optimal oral health. Regular dental cleanings remain essential during your orthodontic treatment.
Store your aligners in their protective case whenever you remove them to eat or drink anything other than water. Always put your aligners back in as soon as possible after eating to stay on track with your treatment timeline.
