Invisalign

Welcome to Dr. Lance Ogata's office, a leading dental practice in Kahului, HI. As a trusted Kahului dentist, Dr. Ogata and his dedicated team are committed to providing exceptional dental care to our patients. One of the revolutionary treatments we offer is Invisalign, a modern and discreet alternative to traditional metal braces. In this blog post, we will guide you through the Invisalign process, explaining how it works and why it is an excellent choice for achieving the smile you've always desired.

Understanding Invisalign Clear Aligners

Invisalign clear aligners are custom-made, removable trays that gradually straighten your teeth. They are made from a smooth, BPA-free plastic material, offering a comfortable and nearly invisible orthodontic solution. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are virtually undetectable, allowing you to straighten your teeth discreetly and without feeling self-conscious.

The Invisalign Process

1. Initial Consultation with Dr. Ogata:

Schedule an appointment at our office for an initial consultation. During this visit, Dr. Ogata will assess your dental condition and determine if Invisalign is the right treatment option for you.

2. Custom Treatment Plan:

If Invisalign is suitable for your needs, we will create a personalized treatment plan using advanced 3D imaging technology. This will allow you to visualize the final outcome and understand the steps involved in the process.

3. Custom Aligner Fabrication:

Using the digital images, a series of custom aligners will be fabricated specifically for your teeth. Each set of aligners is designed to gradually shift your teeth into the desired position.

4. Wearing the Aligners:

You will receive your aligners, along with detailed instructions on how to wear and care for them. Aligners should be worn for 20-22 hours per day, only removing them to eat, brush, and floss. Every two weeks, you will switch to a new set of aligners as your teeth continue to shift.

5. Regular Check-Ups with Dr. Ogata:

Throughout the treatment process, regular check-ups with Dr. Ogata will be scheduled to monitor your progress and ensure that your teeth are aligning as planned. These check-ups are crucial for making any necessary adjustments and ensuring your treatment is on track.

6. Completion of Treatment:

After several months of wearing your Invisalign clear aligners, you will achieve your desired smile. At this stage, Dr. Ogata will provide you with retainers to maintain the position of your newly aligned teeth.
