Invisalign in St. Petersburg, FL

What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a modern orthodontic system that uses a series of custom-made, transparent aligners to gradually move your teeth into proper alignment. Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks before switching to the next, progressively straightening your teeth over time.

Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are:

• Virtually invisible
  
• Smooth and comfortable, no metal wires or brackets
  
• Removable for eating, brushing, and flossing
  
• Designed using 3D digital imaging for precision
  

Whether you’re correcting crowding, gaps, or bite alignment, Invisalign offers a proven, effective way to enhance your smile while maintaining your lifestyle.

What Invisalign Can Correct

Invisalign can treat a wide range of orthodontic concerns, including:

• Crowded or overlapping teeth
  
• Gaps or spaces between teeth
  
• Overbites, underbites, and crossbites
  
• Open bites or minor misalignments
  
• Relapse after previous orthodontic treatment
  

Dr. Knowles will assess your bite and determine whether Invisalign is the best treatment option for your unique goals.

The Invisalign Treatment Process

Your Invisalign journey at Waterfront District Dental is fully customized from start to finish:

1. Consultation and Digital Scan
   Dr. Knowles will examine your teeth and bite using 3D digital imaging technology, allowing you to preview your new smile before treatment begins.
   
2. Custom Aligner Fabrication
   Your aligners are created specifically for your teeth using advanced computer modeling for precise movement and comfort.
   
3. Wearing Your Aligners
   You’ll wear your aligners for 20–22 hours per day, removing them only for meals and hygiene. Every two weeks, you’ll switch to the next set in the series.
   
4. Progress Check-Ins
   You’ll visit our office periodically so Dr. Knowles can track your progress and ensure your treatment stays on schedule.
   
5. Completion and Retainers
   Once your treatment is complete, you’ll receive custom retainers to maintain your beautiful new smile.

Caring for Your Aligners

To keep your aligners clean and effective:

• Rinse them every time you remove them
  
• Brush them gently with a soft toothbrush—avoid toothpaste, which can scratch
  
• Store them in their protective case when not in use
  
• Maintain regular cleanings and exams to ensure optimal oral health during treatment
  

Dr. Knowles and our team will provide detailed instructions and guidance to ensure the best results throughout your Invisalign journey.
