The Clear Choice
to Straight Teeth
The Modern Way to Straighten Teeth
Teeth that are crooked, misaligned, crowded, or spaced apart can be troublesome and may lead to various oral health issues. Such conditions can cause discomfort and inflammation as food particles become lodged between the teeth, heightening the risk of gum disease, compromising enamel strength, diminishing self-esteem, and contributing to various dental and overall health problems. Here at Rivertown Dental, we are pleased to provide Invisalign® and SureSmile® treatments at each of our four locations in Viroqua, Arcadia, Holmen, and La Crosse, WI, designed to discreetly align your teeth and significantly enhance your smile.
What Is Invisalign & SureSmile?
Invisalign and SureSmile are clear aligners offering a modern, less invasive method for gently straightening teeth. These treatments use clear aligners as an excellent alternative to traditional metal braces.
Both these orthodontics solutions facilitate the gradual adjustment of your teeth, leading to a beautifully aligned and visually appealing smile. With Invisalign and SureSmile clear aligners, achieving a stunning smile can be accomplished in as little as three months.
The Many Benefits of Clear Aligners
- Nearly invisible appearance
- Enhanced confidence and convenience
- Greater comfort and reduced gum irritation
- Removability for daily meals and oral hygiene
- Less risk of bacteria buildup
- Potentially shorter treatment duration
Your Smile Transformation Begins Here
During your consultation, we will discuss your concerns, smile goals, and the treatment process and assess whether Invisalign or SureSmile is right for you. This consultation process allows you to explore your options and ensure you’re well-informed before choosing Invisalign treatment.
With Invisalign, the iTero® digital scanning system enables the rapid and accurate creation of 3D digital images of your teeth. As an alternative to Invisalign, SureSmile uses the SureSmile Simulator to take digital scans of your teeth. We will formulate a detailed treatment plan that outlines the specific modifications required for your teeth and the anticipated treatment timeline. You can visualize the expected transformations in your teeth and preview your future smile.
Once your treatment plan is created, we will create a series of aligners crafted from high-quality material. You must wear these aligners for 20-22 hours each day, though you can remove them to eat, drink, brush, and floss your teeth.
Regular checkup appointments will be scheduled approximately every couple of weeks to monitor your progress and ensure the treatment plan progresses as intended. During these appointments, we will evaluate how well your teeth respond to the treatment, make any necessary adjustments, and address any concerns you may have. This ongoing assessment is crucial for achieving the best possible results and ensuring everything is on track.
Once the treatment is completed, you will be able to enjoy a beautiful, straight smile that not only enhances your appearance but also boosts your confidence. A well-aligned smile can improve oral health, making it easier to maintain proper hygiene and reducing the risk of dental issues. We are committed to supporting you throughout this journey and look forward to celebrating your new smile together!
