Invisalign™ Treatment Overview

Dr. Carolyn Molzahn and our team are proud to offer Invisalign™ in Worthington, Ohio, as part of our cosmetic dental services. For many of our patients, a significant drawback of traditional metal braces is their aesthetic impact. Invisalign™ offers a solution with a nearly invisible alignment system, allowing for teeth straightening without the need for metal braces.

The Invisalign™ clear braces use customized aligning trays that are changed every few weeks, ensuring the perfect fit for new tooth configurations. Aside from being more aesthetically pleasing than traditional metal braces, Invisalign™ clear braces are removable, so you can take them out temporarily as needed. As a result, the duration of Invisalign™ treatment is in the hands of the patient.

When our patients use the Invisalign system as prescribed, they see better results in a faster period of time.

What to Expect from an Invisalign™ Treatment

At Crosswoods Dental, your comfort is our priority. That’s why our team goes to great lengths to provide personalized, comprehensive care. Here is a detailed look into our Invisalign treatment process:

  • 01. Initial Consultation
    Your Invsialign treatment begins with a consultation with Dr. Carolyn Molzahn. She will assess your dental needs and discuss your smile aspirations. During this session, Dr. Molzahn will determine if Invisalign is the right choice for you.
  • 02. Treatment Plan
    We will take 3D digital images of your entire jaw, allowing you and our team to view your jaw from various angles and get a feel for what your new smile will look like after a successful Invisalign™ program.
  • 03. Creating Your Aligners
    Our cosmetic dentistry team will create a set of aligners tailored to your needs. Since everyone is different, the specific number of aligners varies by patient. A typical patient requires 20-29 aligners per arch.
  • 04. Routine Check-ups
    Throughout your Invisalign treatment, regular check-ups at Crosswoods Dental are essential. These appointments allow Dr. Molzahn and her team to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments.
  • 05. Retention Phase
    Once active treatment is finished, it is important to ensure that your results last. This means that you will have a retention plan tailored to your needs, whether it means permanent (bonded) retainers, or clear retainers worn at night time.

Precision Invisalign Treatments With Our Intra Oral Scanner

At Crosswoods Dental, we make your Invisalign experience easier and more precise with the Trios 5 Intraoral Scanner. This technology captures detailed 3D images of your teeth, eliminating the need for traditional impressions. With the scanner’s accuracy, we ensure your Invisalign aligners fit perfectly, guiding your teeth into alignment with comfort and efficiency. The quick scanning process means less time in the chair, and the 3D visuals allow you and Dr. Molzahn to see the treatment plan in real time. 

 

Worthington, Ohio, Cosmetic Solutions with Invisalign™

Invisalign™ addresses the same cosmetic and alignment problems that traditional braces correct, but unlike metal braces, Invisalign™ alignment trays are nearly invisible and are removable.

The following is a list of some of the common problems that Dr. Molzahn can address using Invisalign™:

Overcrowding

When there isn’t enough space in your mouth for your teeth to align properly, overcrowding can occur, leading to tooth decay and an increased likelihood of developing gum disease.

Diastema (tooth gaps)

Although tooth gaps can occur throughout the mouth, they most commonly occur between the two front teeth. While gaps are typically cosmetic, they are sometimes correlated with gum disease.

Crossbites

Crossbites are a common dental issue that occurs when the bottom and top teeth fail to align properly in a closed mouth. Crossbites can affect one tooth or multiple teeth and lead to uneven wear, which can cause tooth erosion and gum disease.

Overbites

An overbite refers to a patient’s upper teeth projecting further than or completely covering their lower teeth. Overbite can lead to Temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJ) and jaw pain.

Underbites

An underbite is the opposite of an overbite. In the case of an underbite, the patient’s lower teeth project further than or cover their upper teeth, leading to TMJ and jaw pain.

The Invisalign™ Advantage at Crosswords Dental

The main difference between Invisalign™ and traditional braces is that the system’s alignment trays can be fully removed. As a result, you must be committed and disciplined. In our experience, this is not usually a problem for patients because Invisalign™ clear braces are comfortable and practically invisible to the naked eye.

The Invisalign™ system, renowned for its comfort, aesthetics, and effectiveness, has revolutionized cosmetic dentistry.
