Invisalign Treatment at Lowes Island Dentistry
At Lowes Island Dentistry, we are transforming smiles with the revolutionary Invisalign treatment. Invisalign offers a modern alternative to traditional braces, using clear, removable aligners to gradually straighten your teeth. These aligners are custom-made and virtually invisible, offering a discreet solution to correct dental issues such as crowded teeth, overbite, underbite, crossbite, and gaps between teeth.
Why Invisalign?
Invisalign provides numerous benefits over traditional braces, making it a popular choice for both adults and teens. Unlike metal braces, Invisalign aligners are removable, allowing you to eat, brush, and floss without any restrictions. The clear aligners are practically invisible, providing a discreet option that won’t impact your appearance. Additionally, the aligners are made from smooth, comfortable plastic, reducing discomfort and eliminating the mouth sores often associated with metal braces.
Key Benefits of Invisalign
- Comfort
Invisalign aligners are made from smooth, BPA-free plastic, designed for comfort. Unlike traditional braces, there are no sharp brackets or wires to irritate your mouth or gums. The aligners are custom-made to fit snugly on your teeth, minimizing discomfort and making them easy to wear throughout the day and night.
- Convenience
The aligners are removable, so you can continue to enjoy all your favorite foods during treatment. Additionally, you can brush and floss normally, unlike with traditional braces. Invisalign also requires fewer visits to the dentist, saving you time.
- Faster Treatment Time
While traditional braces can take up to two years, Invisalign treatment typically takes between 12 to 18 months, making it a faster and more convenient solution for straightening your teeth.
The Invisalign Treatment Process
Consultation and Evaluation
Your Invisalign journey begins with a consultation, where your oral health will be evaluated, and your orthodontic goals discussed. This is a great opportunity to ask any questions you may have about the treatment process.
Custom Treatment Plan
If Invisalign is right for you, we’ll create a custom treatment plan. Using advanced 3D imaging technology, digital impressions of your teeth will be taken to create your custom aligners. This technology allows for precise planning of tooth movement to ensure the best results.
Wearing Your Aligners
Once your aligners are ready, you will wear them for 20 to 22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, brush, and floss. Each set of aligners will be worn for one to two weeks before moving on to the next set. Regular check-ups will help monitor progress and ensure your treatment is on track.

How We Can Alleviate Your TMJ Pain:
Mouth Guards
Mouth guards are an essential protective appliance for those with Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (TMJ/TMD). These specially designed guards not only protect teeth from impact injuries but also provide crucial cushioning to reduce trauma to the mouth, teeth, and jaw - areas particularly sensitive in TMJ/TMD patients.
Night Guards
For patients who experience bruxism, or teeth grinding, our team at Lowes Island Dentistry in Sterling, VA encourages you to be fitted for a night guard. Night guards, or bite guards, help to protect your teeth from crushing and grinding of teeth by providing a protective layer between your teeth.
