Invisalign

Transform your smile discreetly with Invisalign at Hilltop Family Dental. Our experienced dentists, Dr. Adam Milmont and Dr. David Gallup, provide exceptional orthodontic care using the latest Invisalign technology. Located near downtown Casper, our office is equipped to deliver the best Invisalign treatment experience for patients seeking alternatives to traditional braces.

What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a modern approach to straightening teeth using a series of custom-made, clear aligners that gradually shift your teeth into their ideal position. Unlike traditional metal braces, these virtually invisible aligners are:

• Removable for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing
• Custom-designed using 3D computer imaging technology
• Made from smooth, comfortable, BPA-free plastic
• Changed approximately every two weeks to progressively realign your teeth

Each set of aligners makes slight adjustments to tooth position, following a precise treatment plan mapped out by your dentist. At Hilltop Family Dental, Dr. Milmont and Dr. Gallup utilize advanced digital scanning to create a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific dental needs.

Is Invisalign Better Than Braces?

While both Invisalign and traditional braces effectively straighten teeth, many patients prefer Invisalign for several key reasons:

1. Appearance: Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, making them an attractive option for adults and teens concerned about their appearance during treatment.
2. Comfort: The smooth plastic aligners eliminate the discomfort often associated with metal brackets and wires.
3. Convenience: Being removable, Invisalign allows you to enjoy your favorite foods without restrictions and maintain normal oral hygiene routines.
4. Predictability: Advanced computer technology allows us to visualize your entire treatment plan from the beginning, including what your final smile will look like.
5. Fewer Office Visits: Invisalign typically requires fewer check-up appointments than traditional braces, saving you valuable time.

Every patient's needs are different. During your consultation at our Casper dental office, your doctor will help determine if Invisalign is the right choice for your specific situation.

Alternatives to Invisalign

While Invisalign is an excellent solution for many patients, we offer several alternatives for those with different needs or preferences:

Traditional Braces

Still an effective option for complex alignment issues, modern braces are more comfortable and less noticeable than previous generations.

Clear Braces

These work like traditional braces but use clear or tooth-colored brackets for a more subtle appearance.

Six Month Smiles

Focused primarily on the front teeth that show when you smile, this treatment often works faster for adults seeking cosmetic improvements.

Retainers

In some minor cases, retainers alone may be sufficient to correct slight misalignments.

Our dentists at Hilltop Family Dental will thoroughly evaluate your needs to recommend the most appropriate treatment option.

What Is the Process for Getting Invisalign?

Your Invisalign journey at our Casper office follows these steps:

1. Initial Consultation: Dr. Milmont or Dr. Gallup will examine your teeth, discuss your goals, and determine if Invisalign is right for you.
2. Digital Scanning: We'll take digital impressions of your teeth using state-of-the-art technology—no messy putty impressions required.
3. Customized Treatment Plan: Your dentist will create a personalized plan showing the exact movements of your teeth and approximately how long treatment will take.
4. Custom Aligners: Your clear aligners are fabricated specifically for your teeth using advanced 3D printing technology.
5. Start Wearing Aligners: You'll wear each set of aligners for about 1-2 weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss.
6. Progress Check-ups: You'll visit our office approximately every 6-8 weeks to monitor progress and receive new sets of aligners.
7. Completion: Once treatment is complete, you'll receive retainers to maintain your beautiful new smile.

How Long Do I Need to Wear Invisalign Retainers?

After completing your Invisalign treatment, wearing retainers is essential for maintaining your results. Initially, we recommend wearing your retainers full-time for the first 3-6 months, then transitioning to nighttime wear. For long-term success, most dentists advise wearing retainers at night indefinitely.

Remember, teeth naturally shift throughout life, and consistent retainer use is your best defense against unwanted movement after investing in your beautiful smile.

Invisalign FAQ

What is the cost of Invisalign treatment?

The cost varies depending on treatment complexity and duration. Many dental insurance plans that cover orthodontic care include Invisalign. Our office staff will help you understand your coverage and discuss payment options.

Is Invisalign painful?

Most patients experience mild discomfort for a few days when beginning each new aligner. This pressure indicates the aligners are working to move your teeth.

How long does Invisalign treatment take?

Treatment time averages 12–18 months but varies based on individual needs. Some patients with minor corrections may complete treatment in as little as 6 months.

How often must I wear my aligners?

For optimal results, wear your aligners 20–22 hours per day, removing them only for eating, drinking anything besides water, and oral hygiene.
