Invisalign
We all know that misaligned teeth detract from an otherwise beautiful smile, but did you know that misalignment can lead to other issues?
Crooked teeth can cause chewing and speaking problems. They are also more difficult to brush and floss properly, which can lead to cavities.
To enhance your smile and improve your dental function, Andrew G. Mortensen, DDS, offers Invisalign® at our Fountain Valley, CA, practice.
This orthodontic option has helped millions of dental patients straighten their teeth without the hassle of traditional braces.
Benefits of Invisalign
The Invisalign system has significant advantages over traditional wire braces. For example, patients who choose this orthodontic option can enjoy:
Discreet Treatment
Unlike braces, Invisalign's clear aligners are virtually unnoticeable. In fact, most of your friends will not be able to tell you are undergoing orthodontic treatment.
Optimal Comfort
Traditional wires and brackets can irritate the soft tissues of the mouth. In contrast, Invisalign aligners are made from smooth plastic that fits comfortably over the teeth and won't poke or scratch your cheeks, gums, and tongue.
Convenience
Because Invisalign trays are removable, brushing and flossing is a breeze. There is no need for specialized tools. Simply clean your teeth like you always do.
No Dietary Restrictions
Patients who wear traditional metal braces must avoid certain foods to prevent their brackets from breaking. With Invisalign, you can remove your aligners and eat what you like.
How Does Invisalign Work?
Instead of using brackets and wires like traditional braces do, the Invisalign system straightens the smile through a progressive series of clear plastic aligners.

Conditions Treated with Invisalign
Invisalign can address many of the same issues as braces. Our dentist in Fountain Valley, CA, recommends this type of treatment to correct:
This condition, also referred to as a "deep bite," can cause the upper teeth to project forward over the lower, making them more prone to trauma and damage.
Individuals with an underbite have lower teeth that project past their upper teeth. This is often caused by an overdeveloped lower jaw or underdeveloped upper jaw.
Crossbites occur when the upper teeth overlap the lower on one side, but the lower teeth overlap the upper on the other side, leading to functional issues.
If your front teeth do not come together when you bite down on your back teeth, you may have an open bite. This can cause issues with speaking and chewing.
Crowding or overlapping makes it much more difficult to brush and floss properly. Straightening your smile not only improves aesthetics, but also health and function.
When there are gaps and spaces between your teeth, it can cause difficulty when eating or speaking. Invisalign can close gaps, bringing balance to your smile.
Invisalign Treatment Process
The first step towards a straighter smile is to request an Invisalign evaluation at our Fountain Valley practice in Orange County. During your evaluation, Dr. Mortensen will help you determine if the Invisalign system is right for you. If you are a candidate, we will design a personalized treatment plan to meet your needs.
Most Invisalign patients can expect to achieve their desired results in 12 to 18 months. The treatment timeline usually looks something like this:

Paying for Invisalign
Dental Insurance and Invisalign
Many dental insurance companies partially cover Invisalign treatment. However, your benefits will ultimately depend on your specific plan. During a consultation at our practice, we can file all necessary paperwork on your behalf.
Flexible Financing Options
If you do not have insurance, or if insurance only covers a portion of your aligner treatment, talk with our team about flexible payment options. Our experts can help you find a financing solution to meet your needs.
