Dr. Kwon and the entire team at Green Dental in Broomfield CO are proud to offer our patients Invisalign Clear Braces. Invisalign is a widely known and popular treatment option for correcting crooked or crowding teeth. It is great for patients of all ages and can help you get the smile of your dreams faster and easier than traditional braces. There’s no better place to access the power of Invisalign in Broomfield, CO than Green Dental.
What is Invisalign and How Does it Work?
You might be surprised to learn that although Invisalign provides the same results – sometimes better! – than traditional braces, the product looks much different and works differently too. Invisalign is characterized by a clear aligner tray system that is custom fit to your mouth. Rather than adhering metal brackets to your teeth and tightening wires over several years, it works more discreetly and comfortably.
The Invisalign treatment system is just that: a system. It starts with a consultation to determine your suitability for the product, and it ends with your new and improved smile. The aligner trays used are made from thermoplastic materials, which are designed specifically for your teeth.
Once treatment has been planned and you receive your clear plastic aligner trays, you’ll continue to wear the trays until it is time to change them out for the next set. This process continues until the desired result is achieved.
Invisalign for Straighter Teeth
Don’t give up yet! The professional Broomfield dentists at Green Dental offer Invisalign, an innovative dental treatment that can give you straighter teeth without the old-fashioned metal posts and wires of traditional braces. This dental treatment system uses clear plastic aligners to straighten and realign your teeth.
The clear plastic aligners are able to straighten crooked, crowded, or misaligned teeth and close any unwanted gaps or spaces. This not only makes the look of your teeth more aesthetically pleasing but also helps align your jaw. This can reduce or eliminate any pain or discomfort that you may have from overbites, under-bites, or jaw and chewing problems.
Using the latest in innovative technology, the dental aligners are created from 3D images your dentist takes of your mouth and head during your initial consultation. Approximately a week after your consultation your custom-made clear aligner tray system will be ready for you to start your individualized treatment program.
How Long Does Invisalign Treatment Take to be Completed?
The good news is that not only are Invisalign clear braces difficult to detect on your teeth, but they work in almost half the time as traditional braces. For complex problems, some patients would have to wear traditional braces for up to 3 years, but thanks to the innovative technology and 3D planning software that is included as part of the Invisalign treatment plan, optimal results can be achieved in much less time.
The average patient will wear up to 50 clear aligner trays, depending on the amount of correction that is necessary, and they will wear the treatment system up to 24 months. Some patients can complete treatment in as little as nine months. What’s great about the Invisalign advanced technology treatment system is that you’ll know exactly how long treatment takes so you can plan to show off that beautiful smile.
Am I a Suitable Candidate for Invisalign Treatment?

What are the Benefits of Invisalign?
Smiling is contagious! Have you ever noticed when a stranger gives you a big smile it makes you feel like smiling too? According to Psychology Today, the act of smiling or seeing someone else smile has many benefits, including elevating your mood and giving you an overall positive sense of well-being.
Do you want to smile but are too embarrassed by the appearance of your teeth? If your teeth are visibly crooked, overlapping, or have gaps between them, you certainly don’t want to show them in a big toothy grin. You may hide your smile beyond your hand, try to smile without showing your teeth, or if you feel your teeth are really an embarrassment, you may not smile at all!
To end your embarrassment, you’ve probably considered traditional metal braces. For adults and teenagers, the look of the metal braces can often be as embarrassing as your crooked teeth. Due to this treatment option, you may have given up looking for a way to overcome your teeth problem and just don’t smile.
There are numerous benefits to the Invisalign clear braces treatment system. These benefits not only include comfort and flexibility during treatment, but the clear aligner trays are removable. That’s right, no more messing with wired braces to brush and clean your teeth.
While you’ll need to wear the clear aligner trays around the clock, they can be removed to eat and clean your teeth. That makes life so much easier for a lot of people. In addition, the 3D technology used to plan the treatment allows you to see a digital image of what your teeth look like when the treatment is completed.
It’s very exciting and patients love to see first-hand what their teeth will look like after they finish wearing Invisalign. This complete treatment system also helps reduce pain and discomfort, reduce the risk of decay and infection during treatment, and improve pain associated with the jaw, chewing problems, overbites, and underbites.
Plastic Instead of Metal for Straighter
Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign consists of clear aligners made of a thermo-plastic material that are custom-formed to fit over your teeth for your particular dental needs.
With traditional braces, metal posts are cemented directly to the tooth enamel, and metal wires and springs are attached to the posts. In some cases rubber bands are also attached to the posts to help realign your jaw. These wires and springs have to be adjusted routinely by your orthodontist, which generally is a painful and time-consuming process.
With the Invisalign plastic aligner system there are no metal posts, no painful trips to the dentist to have metal wires tightened, and no springs or rubber bands to deal with. During your treatment you will have monthly appointments where your dentist will exam the progress of your teeth and give you different aligners. You receive new aligner trays as your teeth straighten. On average, a person can have up to 50 different trays during treatment.
With traditional metal braces the metal posts and wires can poke and scratch against the inside of your mouth and lips. For your comfort the thermos-plastic trays of the Invisalign system are one smooth piece that fits snuggly over your teeth. With a clear finish, the trays are barely visible. You can wear them all day without the whole world knowing that your teeth are being straightened.
