Invisalign® Clear Aligners in Bellevue
Dr. Wallace W. Wong, Orthodontics is proud to offer Invisalign® clear aligners to teens and adults in Bellevue, WA . Invisalign is a modern alternative to braces that straightens teeth without metal brackets or wires. Instead, a series of custom-made, clear plastic aligners gently moves your teeth into place, comfortably and almost invisibly.
Request an AppointmentWhat Is Invisalign?
Invisalign uses a series of removable, BPA-free plastic aligners, each custom made to fit your teeth. Every few weeks, you switch to a new set of aligners that moves your teeth a little closer to their final position. Because the aligners are smooth and precisely fitted, there are no brackets or wires to irritate your cheeks and gums.
Why Patients Choose Invisalign
- Nearly invisible: Most people will not notice you are wearing aligners unless you tell them.
- Removable: Take aligners out to eat, so there are no food restrictions.
- Easier hygiene: Brush and floss normally without working around brackets and wires.
- Comfortable: Smooth plastic aligners are gentle on your mouth.
- Convenient: Fewer emergency visits and quick check-in appointments fit busy schedules.
What Invisalign Can Treat
Invisalign can correct many common orthodontic concerns, including crowded teeth, gaps between teeth, overbites, underbites, crossbites, open bites, and narrow arches. During your consultation, Dr. Wallace Wong will evaluate your smile to determine whether Invisalign is right for you or whether clear braces or traditional braces would provide better results.
Invisalign for Teens and Adults
Invisalign is an excellent choice for adults who want a discreet option that fits their professional life, and for responsible teens who want to feel confident at school, in photos, and during sports and activities. Consistent wear is key: aligners should be worn 20 to 22 hours a day for the best results.
Impression-Free Digital Scanning
We use the iTero® intraoral scanner to capture a precise 3D model of your teeth in minutes, with no messy impressions. The scan can even show a preview of how your smile may look after treatment, helping you visualize your results before you begin.
Protecting Your New Smile
When your Invisalign treatment is complete, a retainer will help keep your teeth in their new positions. To learn exactly how treatment works at our office, from your first scan to your final aligner, visit our Invisalign treatment page.
