Contact UsWhat Is Invisalign Orthodontics?
Straight, well-aligned teeth not only offer a confident, gorgeous smile, but they also tend to be healthier and easier to maintain. Dental challenges, including overcrowded teeth and a misaligned bite, may also result in further dental health complications that might possibly have consequences for your ability to eat and speak normally, which could be more expensive to repair. In order to help patients enjoy the advantages of a healthy and attractive grin, our office is pleased to offer Invisalign (and other) clear aligners to adults and teenagers in Walnut Creek, CA. This clear aligner treatment process straightens teeth through removable, nearly invisible aligner trays, providing a less obvious appearance and a simple treatment alternative to traditional orthodontics. Find out if Invisalign/clear aligner treatment is ideal for your smile by reserving a private consultation at Life Dental & Orthodontics.
How Does Invisalign Treatment Work?
Invisalign (and other clear aligner brands) orthodontics functions via a set of clear removable trays that steadily direct your teeth into their ideal location. To begin your care, our Walnut Creek, CA team will take an impression of your lower and upper teeth, which will be sent to the special lab where your unique teeth aligners will be fabricated. After the aligners are received at our facility, our staff will ask you to come back in to receive your beginning pair and discuss instructions on how to wear them. These aligners must be worn over your teeth for a minimum of 20 – 22 hours each day and only taken out just before brushing, flossing your teeth, eating, or drinking. Following a schedule of 1 – 2-week intervals, you must swap your current set of aligners for the next in succession. A member of our team will help you book monthly follow-up assessments at Life Dental & Orthodontics so our experienced dentist can monitor your teeth straightening progress.
Life Dental & Orthodontics Reviews
I heard about Doctor Hockel and Life Dental at the Walnut Creek Oktoberfest and won a free consultation. I'm an adult who was seeking an Invisalign quote for treatment. First of all, the attention to detail from the whole office was palpable. My name was on the welcome sign as a new patient, which brought a smile. They had a really cool building with rich history and they gave me a tour. They had a refreshments area with drinks and snacks. Katie was my guide through it all. She was friendly and personable. They took both pictures and X-rays. Dr. Hockel came in to assess everything and talk about treatment plans. The amount of time he spent with me made me feel really taken care of. He was so honest and genuine with me which is what I appreciated most. I didn't feel like he was trying to just get a sale or patient out of me. I felt like he really cared about the overall health and best interest regardless of dental/ortho and regardless of potentially losing business. His niche of airway knowledge lead to a referral for a sleep study which can help with my overall health. He was the first person to not recommend certain treatment because it's not the most pressing concern, my airway and breathing needs attention first. They also left me with a little welcome bag with floss, travel toothpaste, toothbrush, a stress ball, and a drawstring backpack. Truly grateful for this visit. Dr. Hockel is a true professional along with all his colleagues and employees. Thanks yall!
