Invisalign Clear Aligners in Henderson, NV

How Invisalign Works

Invisalign uses a series of custom aligners made from smooth, BPA-free plastic. Each set is worn for about one to two weeks and moves your teeth a fraction of a millimeter. Swap to the next set, and the next, and over several months your teeth arrive at the position Dr. Sidhu planned on day one. The aligners fit snugly over your teeth, so most people around you will never know you are wearing them.

What Invisalign Can Fix

• Crowded or overlapping teeth
• Gaps and uneven spacing
• Mild to moderate overbite, underbite, and crossbite
• Teeth that shifted after braces years ago
• Alignment before veneers or implants, so cosmetic work lasts

Your Invisalign Treatment at Densley Dental

1. Digital scan and smile preview

We scan your teeth with the iTero scanner in a few minutes, with no impression trays. The software shows you a simulation of your projected result before you decide.

2. Custom treatment plan

Dr. Sidhu maps each stage of movement and tells you how many aligners you will need and roughly how long it will take.

3. Wear, switch, check in

Wear each set 20 to 22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, drink anything but water, and brush. We see you every six to eight weeks to confirm you are on track and hand you the next sets.

4. Retainers

When treatment is done, a custom retainer keeps everything where it belongs. This step is what makes the result permanent.

Invisalign vs. Traditional Braces

Both straighten teeth. Braces give the dentist more control for complex rotations and severe bite correction. Invisalign wins on comfort, appearance, and hygiene, since you can brush and floss normally with the aligners out. For most adult cases we see in Henderson, Invisalign is the better fit, and we will tell you if yours is one of the exceptions.

Caring for Your Aligners

• Take them out to eat and to drink anything other than water.
• Brush your teeth before putting them back in.
• Clean aligners with a soft brush and lukewarm water. Hot water warps them.
• Keep the case with you. Aligners wrapped in a napkin end up in the trash.
