Transform Your Smile with Invisalign at Pure Dental Arts in Seattle
When you think of braces, you might imagine metal brackets and wires—an intimidating thought for many adults and teens. But at Pure Dental Arts in Seattle, we offer Invisalign, a revolutionary way to straighten your teeth without the hassle and discomfort of traditional braces. Say hello to a discreet, comfortable, and effective solution!
What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a cutting-edge orthodontic treatment that uses a series of custom-made clear aligners to gradually shift your teeth into their ideal position. Unlike metal braces, these aligners are virtually invisible, making them a favorite among people who want a discreet option to improve their smile.
Why Choose Invisalign?
1. Virtually Invisible
One of the main reasons patients love Invisalign is because it’s barely noticeable. The clear aligners are designed to blend seamlessly with your teeth, so you can go about your day without anyone noticing.
2. Comfort First
Unlike traditional braces with wires and brackets that can irritate your mouth, Invisalign aligners are made of smooth, BPA-free plastic. They are custom-fitted to your teeth, making them comfortable to wear for 20-22 hours a day.
3. Easy to Maintain Oral Hygiene
With Invisalign, you can remove your aligners for eating, brushing, and flossing. No more food getting stuck in brackets! This convenience makes it easier to maintain proper oral hygiene and keep your smile fresh and healthy.
4. Customized for Your Needs
At Pure Dental Arts, every Invisalign treatment is tailored to fit your unique smile. Using advanced 3D imaging technology, we create a personalized treatment plan that maps out each step of your teeth’s movement.
5. Shorter Treatment Time
While the duration of treatment varies from person to person, Invisalign often offers faster results compared to traditional braces. On average, you can expect to see noticeable improvements within months, with full treatment typically lasting 12-18 months.
How Does Invisalign Work?
Initial Consultation
The journey begins with a comprehensive consultation at Pure Dental Arts. During this visit, we’ll assess your smile, discuss your goals, and determine if Invisalign is the best fit for you.
Customized Treatment Plan
Next, we use 3D digital imaging to create a precise roadmap of your treatment. This digital model shows how your teeth will gradually move and lets you preview your new smile before even starting!
Aligners Created Just for You
Once your treatment plan is finalized, your custom aligners will be fabricated. Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks before progressing to the next in the series, gently shifting your teeth step-by-step.
Regular Check-Ins
You’ll visit Pure Dental Arts approximately every 6-8 weeks to monitor your progress and receive new aligners. Our team is here to ensure everything is moving according to plan and address any questions you have.
Tips for Success with Invisalign
Wear Your Aligners Consistently
For best results, wear your aligners for 20-22 hours a day. Only remove them for eating, drinking (except water), and oral care.
Clean Your Aligners Daily
Maintain the clarity of your aligners by cleaning them daily with a soft toothbrush and warm water or the special cleaning kit recommended by our team.
Stay on Track with Your Schedule
Switching to the next set of aligners on time is essential for a smooth transition and optimal progress.
Invisalign vs. Traditional Braces: Which is Right for You?

What Can Invisalign Treat?

- Gaps Between Teeth: Excess space between teeth can lead to gum problems and a less desirable appearance. Invisalign can close these gaps.
- Overbite, Underbite, and Crossbite: These common bite issues can affect your smile and oral health. Invisalign aligners can improve alignment gradually and comfortably.
