Invisalign
Crooked teeth can affect the health and beauty of your smile. In the past, a dentist's main option for treating malocclusion was braces.
Today, tooth misalignment can be treated with Invisalign®, an invisible, comfortable alternative to traditional orthodontics.
Find out how the Cosmetic Dentistry Institute in Troy, MI, can straighten your teeth.
Invisalign Treatment An Overview
From our office in Troy, Dr. Craig Goldin provides Invisalign® invisible braces to patients who live all around the Detroit metro area. Invisalign® is an incredible solution to straighten patients’ teeth without the hassle and unattractiveness of traditional metal braces.
The Benefits of Invisalign Why People Want Invisible Orthodontics
There are many benefits to Invisalign treatment. Just why are more and more patients asking about Invisalign for their orthodontic care needs?
Invisalign Aligners Are Discreet
The clear aligners are difficult to notice, even when people are up close. That makes Invisalign ideal for those of us who want an inconspicuous orthodontic treatment.Aligner Trays Are Safe
The clear aligners are sturdy and will not cut or poke at the insides of your mouth. They are made from a smooth, BPA-free plastic molded to fit onto your teeth.Trays Are Easy to Remove
Invisalign trays are removable. Patients can still enjoy their favorite foods, and won't struggle to properly brush and floss their teeth during the treatment process.Caring for Trays Is Simple
Cleaning Invisalign aligners is simple. Patients can simply brush the aligners clean with a soft-bristled toothbrush to prevent cavities, gum disease, and bad breath.Aligners Are More Comfortable Than Braces
The brackets and wires of braces can scrape and irritate the insides of the lips and cheeks. Invisalign trays are smooth, and are consequently much more comfortable to wear.Speak with a Skilled Dentist in Troy Learn More About Invisalign

My son needed major dental work and as a mom I knew after meeting with Dr. Goldin and Robbie and the rest of the staff that my son was in the best hands possible. Eight hours of surgery and I had not one worry and the end result was absolute perfection. Im not sure what is more beautiful: my sons teeth or the entire staff responsible. I've never met a more loving and caring group of people. Thank you Cosmetic Dentistry... You truly are the best!

View On FacebookConditions Invisalign Can Treat Correcting Misalignment and Malocclusion
Invisalign is able to treat the same kinds of malocclusion and misalignment as traditional braces. This includes the following conditions:
An underbite is characterized by lower teeth that stick out farther than the upper teeth.
An overbite occurs when the upper arch of teeth protrudes too far over the lower teeth.
Horizontal misalignment between the upper and lower teeth is known as a crossbite.
If your front upper and lower teeth do not touch, it is referred to as an open bite.
Sometimes noticeable spaces and gaps remain between a person's teeth.
Overcrowding occurs when all of your teeth do not fit properly within your bite.
Good Candidates for Invisalign Ideal Invisible Orthodontics Patients
Invisalign is a great option for so many people looking for an alternative to braces. Here are signs that you are a good candidate for invisible orthodontic treatment.
You're a Teen or Adult
Invisalign is an excellent option for adults and older teenagers. The removable clear aligners won't interrupt your daily routine, whether it's work, school, or social gatherings.
You Have Crooked Teeth
Invisalign treatment is great for people who have teeth that are crooked. Misalignment of the dental arch or the jaw position can be treated using other orthodontic procedures.
You're in Good Health
Apart from tooth misalignment, patients should be in otherwise good dental health. If you suffer from other dental problems, those may be treated before you undergo Invisalign.
How Long Does It Take for Invisalign to Straighten Teeth?
Straightening your teeth may initially sound like a long, drawn-out process. However, with Invisalign, it may not take as long as you think. The full duration of treatment takes an average of about 12 months, and patients can begin seeing results in just a few months.
When you speak to us about Invisalign, we’ll explain what you can expect based on the extent of treatment you need to correct gaps, crowding, and other issues.
The Invisalign Treatment Process A Patient Timeline
Overall treatment time for Invisalign can range from several months to a year depending on the orthodontic needs of the patient. We'll provide a personal treatment timeline during your initial consultation at our Troy, MI, dental practice. This general timeline offers patients an idea of what the treatment process will be like.

Taking Care of Your Invisalign Trays
Taking care of your aligners is an essential part of Invisalign treatment. Here are a few simple steps you can take to keep your trays clean, clear, and effective:
Clean your aligners regularly
Clean your aligners each time you brush your teeth by using toothpaste and a soft toothbrush to scrub them gently. This helps remove bacteria from the aligners that could compromise your teeth or your oral health.
Steer clear of abrasives
Make the most out of Invisalign’s transparency by avoiding substances that can compromise it. Using soap, denture cleaner, or mouthwash to scrub your aligners can dull their appearance, making them easier to see when you’re wearing them.
Do not eat with your aligners in
One of the biggest draws of Invisalign is that, unlike traditional braces, you can take them out whenever you need to eat or drink anything other than water. Remember to remove them when you eat or drink; otherwise, you could damage or stain them. The only thing you should consume while wearing your aligners is water.
Keep your case handy
Whether you are taking them out to eat a meal or brush your teeth, make it a habit to place your aligners in their designated case. You run a risk of damaging them when you temporarily place them on the edge of a sink or on another surface.
