What to Expect During Your Invisalign Consultation at White Pine Family Dental
When you come in for your consultation at White Pine Family Dental, specifically if you’re interested in orthodontic care, you can expect to have all of your questions answered and an extensive discussion with one of our providers.
What you will discuss with your dentist will depend on several factors, though we encourage you to come prepared to discuss your current list of medications and supplements, any allergies, ailments and conditions, lifestyle factors, surgical history, and dental history. Some patients find it helpful to review their medical records and bring in notes for the discussion, and we encourage you to do the same if there’s any pertinent information you want us to be aware of during your care.
Your provider will also thoroughly review your oral cavity and dental records. It may be helpful to forward your dental records to your dentist ahead of your appointment. If you’re not able to forward your dental records, we can collect our own records and scans. This may mean we use a scanner, X-ray, or other evaluation instruments during your visit. From here, we’ll discuss your treatment options. While almost every patient is a good fit for Invisalign, some may need to explore other orthodontic options. However, you can rest assured we will only provide recommendations that are a good fit for your needs and personal circumstances.
Why Should You Pick Invisalign Over Traditional Braces?
Invisalign is a popular orthodontic option for many patients, and this is primarily because of the perception of braces and Invisalign. In particular, many patients prefer Invisalign to braces because of the following reasons:
- Invisalign is nearly invisible
- Treatment with braces generally takes more time than Invisalign
- Braces are more painful and less comfortable than Invisalign
- You will have fewer visits to the office
- Easier to clean than braces
- Removable
- No added dietary restrictions
- Less likely to require emergency dental care
- Zero cases of root resorption
Invisalign and braces also share a few benefits, including the following:
- Improvements in sleep and breathing
- Better eating and chewing function
- Customized treatment plan
- Boost to confidence after treatment
- Cost-effective and long-lasting results

How Does Invisalign Work?
Invisalign in Reno, NV works similarly to traditional braces, meaning the appliance provides constant pressure against the teeth in a patient’s oral cavity. With this pressure, the teeth eventually shift and straighten into healthier positions. In many cases, Invisalign improves the arch form of the palate, increasing airway breathing while asleep.
Invisalign is worn for at least 22 hours a day, only being taken out for eating, drinking, and cleaning. They’re made of an FDA approved thermoplastic material that fits perfectly to your teeth. This perfect fit is accomplished using an iTero dental scanner that takes thousands of pictures per second. The trays are worn for typically 1-2 weeks and then changed for a new set, with each one inching a patient’s smile into an ideal position.
