Santa Rosa and Napa's Favorite Invisalign Provider Smile Country Dental

Say goodbye to the hassles of traditional braces with Invisalign! Invisalign corrects orthodontic issues without unattractive metal wire, uncomfortable glued-on brackets, and annoying rubber bands.

The best part? Invisalign is removable!

This means you can enjoy all your favorite foods without restrictions and maintain oral hygiene without special tools. With a series of clear and custom-fit removable aligners, Invisalign can straighten your teeth quickly, usually in about a year. You'll change the aligners every two weeks, gradually moving your teeth into a straighter position until you achieve a more beautiful smile.

Get ready to embrace a more comfortable and hassle-free journey to a perfect smile with Invisalign!

Invisalign is very affordable! The total cost of Invisalign® treatment is comparable to that of traditional braces, and guess what? Many dental insurance plans cover Invisalign® treatment just like they do with regular metal braces. Your unique case has so many different factors that can influence the total treatment cost, making it hard to put a price tag on custom treatment plans.

But here's the exciting part – Smile Country Dental can take care of all the legwork for you. We'll check with your dental insurance provider to see just how much they will cover. Give our office a call at 707.578.3118 or request an appointment and come in to be evaluated. Only then will we be able to quote an Invisalign® treatment plan, work with your insurance, and discuss available payment options. No more guessing – we'll make sure you know exactly how much your specific treatment will be. You'll be amazed at just how affordable and easy it is to achieve a straighter smile! Let's make it happen!

1. Treatment Plan
   We will thoroughly evaluate the condition of your teeth by visual inspection as well as taking precise radiographs. This will allow us to determine how to best position your teeth, step-by-step throughout the Invisalign process.
2. Custom Aligners
   A high-tech Invisalign lab designs a series of clear Invisalign aligners based upon the exact requirements needed to treat your specific case.
3. Wear A New Aligner Every 2 Weeks
   Depending on your specific situation, the exact time between changing aligners can vary but generally speaking, you will wear your aligners every day (about 20-22 hours a day) and start wearing the next set of aligners approximately every two weeks.
4. The Big Reveal
   During the final days of wearing your last aligner, congratulations; you have now achieved the beautiful straight smile you were after! IT IS POSSIBLE. Call us at 707.578.3118 and let Smile Country Dental prove to you that Invisalign can work for you.

Having crooked, crowded or gapped teeth can be embarrassing, sometimes painful and often uncomfortable. Generally speaking, when you speak to a dentist, he or she may recommend treating your orthodontic problem with years of uncomfortable and unattractive metal braces. This is the biggest distraction for patients to fix their teeth and enjoy a perfectly aligned smile but here at Smile Country Dental, we want you to know there is a modern way to straighten teeth and even correct misaligned bites without the use of traditional braces. We use Invisalign^®!

If you have gapped teeth, an overbite, underbite, open bite, crossbite or overly crowded teeth, Invisalign^® may work for you! Call us at 707.578.3118 or request an appointment online to come into the Santa Rosa dental office of Smile Country Dental. We would love to be able to discuss an Invisalign^® plan specific to you and get you well on your way to a beautiful straight smile!

Most patients don't know this, but you can use at-home whitening solution in your Invisalign^® aligners to whiten your teeth at the same time you are straightening them! The Invisalign^® aligners are already custom-fitted to your teeth which will allow the whitening solution to evenly spread along the surfaces of your teeth much better than the "boil-and-fit" trays that most home whitening kits provide. Just don't forget to rinse off the whitening solution after the recommended application time.

As with every dental procedure, the current condition of your teeth will play a role in determining just how long treatment will take.

For best results, we recommend you wear your Invisalign^® aligners for 20-22 hours per day throughout the entire treatment process. In most cases, adults can experience full treatment and a straight smile in as little as one year. For teens, the length of treatment is comparable to that of traditional braces.

The total time you wear your Invisalign^® aligners will seem to fly by since you will be able to see your smile literally transform every time you change to the next set of aligners.

How much is Invisalign?

It's a common misconception; patents think that Invisalign is more expensive than regular braces, but in the majority of cases pricing is about the same. If you are interested in learning more about the cost of Invisalign, you can call the office and book a free consultation.

What do aligners look like?

Aligners are clear and nearly invisible. If you've ever seen clear teeth-whitening trays, that should give you a good idea of what the aligners look like. Invisalign^® aligners are custom-made to fit and move your teeth.

Will the treatment be painful?

Each time you change to a new aligner, there may be some temporary discomfort while your teeth adjust to their new position. This is completely normal, and is a good sign that the treatment is working.

Will wearing Invisalign^® aligners affect my speech?

Some people are affected more than others, but most adjust in a short period of time to the feeling of the aligners and do not have permanent changes in their speech.

How often will I have to wear my aligners?

Invisalign^® only works while you're wearing the aligners. It's recommended that you wear your aligners full-time, day and night, except to eat, brush, and floss your teeth.

What happens after treatment to prevent my teeth from moving again?

This varies person to person and depends on the outcome of the treatment. Some patients might need a positioner, or conventional retainer. Other patients might need a clear plastic retainer.
