Invisalign at Atlantis

If you would like to straighten your smile without fixed brackets and wires, Invisalign may be worth considering. The system uses a planned series of clear, removable aligners to move teeth gradually while your progress is guided by an orthodontist.

Dr. Golnaz Kavand provides Invisalign treatment at Atlantis Orthodontics & Pediatric Dentistry in Dublin. She takes time to understand what you would like to change, examine your teeth and bite, and explain whether clear aligners, braces, or another option makes sense for you.

How Invisalign treatment works

Your first step is a consultation. We’ll look at your teeth and bite, talk about your goals, and discuss the choices available to you. Digital scanning and planning may be used to create a customized series of aligners.

You’ll move through the aligners according to Dr. Kavand’s instructions. Check-in visits give us a chance to follow your progress and guide you through the next stage. The number of aligners and the visit schedule vary because each treatment plan is created for the person wearing them.

Once active tooth movement is complete, retainers help support the new positions of your teeth. Dr. Kavand will explain which retainer is recommended and how to care for it. Our first orthodontic visit page offers more detail about getting started at Atlantis.

Invisalign compared with braces

Invisalign uses removable clear aligners, while traditional braces use brackets and wires that stay on the teeth. Aligners come out for meals and oral hygiene, which many patients appreciate. Their removability also calls for consistency: you need to wear and care for them as instructed.

Both Invisalign and braces can be effective ways to move teeth. Neither is automatically faster, better, or right for everyone. The choice depends on your teeth and bite, your preferences, and Dr. Kavand’s clinical guidance.

Our types of braces page provides an overview of the treatment choices available at Atlantis. Patients can also view selected clear-aligner and orthodontic examples in the before-and-after gallery.

Who may consider Invisalign?

Clear aligners may be an option for teenagers and adults. Some people value their low-profile appearance and the ability to remove them, while others prefer fixed braces or have needs that are better managed another way.

A consultation is the best way to understand your choices. Dr. Kavand will explain what she sees, answer your questions, and talk through the reasons one option may suit you better than another. Adults considering care can find more information on our adult orthodontic treatment page.

What to expect at an Invisalign consultation

During your consultation, we’ll look at your teeth and bite, talk about what you’d like to change, and discuss whether Invisalign or braces makes more sense for you. You’ll have time to ask questions and learn what the next steps would involve before deciding how to proceed.

As treatment is planned, our team can also review insurance benefits, estimated personal costs, and payment arrangements. You can read about our financial options and browse the orthodontics FAQ before your visit.

Living with clear aligners

You’ll take your aligners out for meals and when brushing and flossing. Keeping both your teeth and aligners clean is part of the routine, and Dr. Kavand will give you instructions for wearing, cleaning, and storing them.

Regular check-in visits help us follow your progress and keep treatment moving as planned. If an aligner is lost, damaged, or no longer fits as expected, call the office so we can guide you instead of making changes on your own.

Invisalign FAQ

Is Invisalign an alternative to braces?

For some patients, yes. Invisalign and braces move teeth in different ways, and the better fit depends on your teeth, bite, and preferences.

Can adults get Invisalign?

Yes. Many adults consider clear aligners because they are removable and less noticeable than braces. A consultation will show whether they suit your smile.

Can teenagers use Invisalign?

Invisalign can be an option for some teenagers. Because the aligners are removable, teens need to be ready to wear and care for them as directed.

Are Invisalign aligners removable?

Yes. You can take the aligners out for meals and oral hygiene, then put them back in as directed by your orthodontist.

How do I know whether Invisalign is right for me?

During a consultation, we’ll look at your teeth and bite, talk about what you would like to change, and compare the treatment choices that may work for you.

Will I need retainers after Invisalign?

Yes, retainers are an important part of maintaining tooth positions after active treatment. Dr. Kavand will explain the retention plan recommended for you.
