You Can Trust Your Smile to Lansing’s Invisalign Dentists
Welcome to Mount Hope Family Dentistry, where advanced dental care meets compassion and professionalism. We’re pleased to offer Invisalign®, the clear alternative to traditional metal braces that created millions of beautiful, healthy smiles. Invisalign provides a discreet, effective solution for correcting various dental alignment issues, allowing you to achieve the beautiful, straight smile you’ve always wanted.
Nearly Invisible
One of the most appealing aspects of Invisalign is its clear design. The aligners are virtually invisible, meaning you can straighten your teeth without the aesthetic impact of traditional braces. This makes Invisalign an excellent choice for adults and teens who want to maintain a professional appearance while improving their smile.
Removable and Convenient
Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are removable. This feature allows you to eat and drink whatever you like during treatment by simply removing your aligners. You can also maintain your oral hygiene regimen more effectively, as there are no brackets or wires to contend with.
Comfortable and Customized
Each Invisalign aligner is made from a patented thermoplastic material called SmartTrack®, which is specifically engineered for the Invisalign treatment, ensuring a comfortable, tailored fit. Because the aligners are custom-made to fit your teeth and gradually shift them into place, they minimize discomfort and irritation often associated with traditional braces.
The Invisalign Treatment Process
Consultation
Your Invisalign journey begins with a consultation. During this visit, one of our dentists, Dr. Bojana Bojovic or Dr. Malik Mahnoor, will conduct a thorough assessment of your teeth to determine if Invisalign is the right choice for you. We use advanced imaging technology to create a precise 3D image of your teeth, which is used to map out a customized treatment plan.
Custom Aligners
Once your treatment plan is finalized, your custom aligners are made using Invisalign’s state-of-the-art technology. You will receive several sets of aligners, each of which you’ll wear for about two weeks before moving on to the next set in the series.
Progress Checks
Throughout your treatment, you’ll have occasional check-ups with our team to monitor your progress and ensure everything is moving along as planned. These visits are quick and painless, keeping your treatment on track and moving toward your new smile.
Completion and Retention
After you’ve progressed through all of your aligners, your treatment is complete! To maintain your new alignment, you may need to wear retainers to ensure your teeth stay in place.
