  • Overcrowding
  • Gapped Teeth
  • Overbite
  • Underbite
  • Open bite
  • Crossbite

Don't I Need an Orthodontist To Straighten My Teeth?

/

It's true that orthodontists are specially trained to correct misalignment with traditional orthodontic options like braces. However, Invisalign has a revolutionary design that makes it possible for dentists like Dr. Heringer to straighten smiles without bulky metal wires or brackets. Choosing Invisalign lets you skip trips to the orthodontist and instead receive quality orthodontic care from your Bismarck dentist.

Why Patients Love Invisalign Orthodontics

It's no secret that teens and adults needing orthodontic treatment put Invisalign clear aligners at the top of their wish list. Not only can you see your regular dentist instead of an orthodontist, but Invisalign treatment offers patients a discreet and effective way to straighten their teeth. Many patients choose Invisalign aligners over traditional braces because they are:

Removable

The ability to remove your aligners makes daily life much more enjoyable. Unlike traditional braces, you can eat all your favorite foods without worrying your braces may break. Your daily rituals of brushing and flossing are much easier, too. In contrast, braces require a special dedication to flossing and brushing around the many brackets and wires attached to your teeth.

Discreet

The fact that clear aligners are nearly invisible is a benefit that both teens and adults love and it's one of the main reasons Invisalign wins out compared to conventional metal braces. Because each aligner is made of clear, BPA-free plastic and is designed to fit snugly on your teeth, they are difficult to see even when you are talking with someone standing right in front of you.

Comfortable

Smooth Invisalign aligners lack the metal edges that catch tender tissue. This is in sharp contrast to traditional braces, which can rub the tissue inside your cheeks raw. In addition, if you or your teen leads an active lifestyle, you should consider the added risks of playing contact sports with metal brackets and wires in your mouth. Metal braces can also interfere if your teen plays a woodwind or brass instrument.

Is Invisalign the Best Treatment for You? Explore Your Clear Aligner Candidacy

Most patients looking to straighten their smiles make good candidates for Invisalign treatment. Scheduling a consultation at our Bismarck practice is the best way to ensure Invisalign is the right option for you. The best patients for Invisalign treatment are:

Teens or Adults

Invisalign is a great treatment option for teens and adults suffering from misalignment. The clear aligners offer a discreet straightening solution, so neither classmates nor coworkers will even know you're undergoing treatment.

Unhappy With Their Smile

You can make a great Invisalign candidate if you have lost your confident smile due to gaps, crowding, or general misalignment issues. Your customized treatment plan can correct these dental flaws and give you a smile you'll be proud to show off.

In Good Oral Health

Misalignment can negatively impact oral health, so you may be more likely to have oral health concerns. However, Invisalign patients should be free of gum disease and tooth decay before treatment. We can often treat a cavity and minor dental health issues quickly so you can start Invisalign as soon as possible.

Are You a Good Invisalign Candidate? Contact Our Bismarck Practice To Find Out!

As an experienced dentist, Dr. Heringer knows how to turn your oral health and aesthetic goals into a reality. He takes the time to get to know his patients to determine their candidacy and recommend the best treatment.

Through a customized Invisalign plan, Dr. Heringer can address many of the same issues as an orthodontist. This allows his patients to undergo orthodontics at a familiar practice and gives new patients the opportunity to have dental care and orthodontic care completed under one roof.

Contact our Bismarck, ND, practice today to request your consultation with Dr. Heringer.

How Does Invisalign Work? 

The Benefits of Braces, Without the Stares

Invisalign uses clear aligners that are designed to fit snugly on your teeth and gently move them into the correct position over time. You will receive a series of numbered aligners and wear each for about two weeks before moving to the next in the series. If you stick with the program, your treatment is done when you have worn all the aligners. 

Your Steps to a More Perfect Smile Treatment Timeline

Dr. Heringer travels the country to bring the latest cosmetic dentistry techniques home to his patients.

Consultation

Dr. Heringer will evaluate your teeth to determine if aligners are the right solution. 

Impressions

Using our advanced scanners, we will capture digital impressions of your mouth so custom clear aligners can be created to move your teeth to their proper positions.

Aligner Fabrication

Technicians will fabricate your aligner trays, creating a series of trays that will gradually move your teeth into alignment.

Treatment

When your aligners are ready, Dr. Heringer will have you try on the first aligner and teach you how to use and care for them. Each aligner should be worn for at least 22 hours a day for about two weeks before switching to the next in the series. 

Check-Ins

Depending on your case, Dr. Heringer will have you visit the office about every three weeks so he can monitor your progress. 

Your Last Aligner

When you've finished wearing your last aligner, your treatment is over and it's time to share your smile. However, in order to maintain your results, many people should wear a retainer at night to keep their teeth from drifting back out of alignment. Dr. Heringer will discuss your need for a retainer when you have completed treatment.
