Our team offers Invisalign® clear aligners in Lindenhurst, IL! These nearly invisible aligners are a great alternative to bulky braces and help subtly provide you with a wonderful smile.

Invisalign® aligners are a great choice for patients who are searching for a more discreet orthodontic treatment option for straightening their smile. Rather than using metal brackets and wires like traditional braces, the Invisalign system uses a series of custom-made, computer-generated plastic aligners to straighten teeth. Each set of aligners is designed to make small changes to the alignment of the teeth. As you switch sets of aligners about every two weeks, your teeth will gradually and gently move to their proper positions. You will also visit our office on a regular basis during treatment to make certain that your smile is progressing as planned.

In general, Invisalign® aligners can be used to treat the same orthodontic issues that are normally treated with braces. Our dentist may recommend Invisalign® treatment to correct:

  • Crowded teeth
  • Crooked teeth
  • Gapped and spaced teeth
  • Certain problems with the bite, such as an overbite, open bite, underbite or crossbite

During your initial visit, we will determine whether you are a good candidate for Invisalign® treatment. This treatment is often a good choice for adult patients and others who are interested in a virtually invisible orthodontic treatment. In addition to being discreet, Invisalign aligners are very comfortable because they are custom made from smooth, thin plastic. The aligners are removable as well, which allows you to easily remove them as needed to eat, brush and floss. We welcome you to call or visit us today to learn more about Invisalign® clear aligners.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a sinus lift and implant be done at the same time?

Depending on your oral health and severity of your procedure, a dental implant might be able to be placed at the same time as a sinus augmentation. Sinus lift surgery has proven to increase your chances for successful implants that can last for years to come.

When you visit for your initial consultation, our team will be able to better understand your condition and determine whether or not these two procedures can be done during one appointment.

Are composite fillings strong?

Yes, composite fillings are very strong and are designed to protect your natural teeth from further decay and damage. They’re able to withstand any daily wear and tear such as chewing, speaking, and oral hygiene.

While composite fillings may not be as strong as amalgam fillings, the composite resin is much less noticeable and will look like a natural part of your tooth.
