Find out if you could be an ideal candidate for Invisalign.
Want to get a straighter smile? If you’re a teen or adult, you may be wondering whether Invisalign is the best way to get the smile you’ve always wanted. While our Addison, IL, dentist Dr. Mohamed Waheed has helped countless adults get perfect smiles with Invisalign it’s also important to understand everything about this unique orthodontic system before deciding whether it’s right for you.
What is Invisalign and how does it work?
Chances are good that you’ve heard of Invisalign, but perhaps you don’t quite know what’s involved in this unique orthodontic treatment. Invisalign has been helping many teens and adults living in and around Addison, IL, correct their misaligned smiles with the help of clear aligners instead of metal braces.
Invisalign provides you with your very own set of transparent, thermoplastic aligners that fit over teeth like mouthguards. Each aligner is specially designed by Dr. Waheed to apply the perfect amount of pressure to your teeth to gradually shift them into place.
The number of aligners you will receive will depend on the issues you are dealing with and how severe they are. During your consultation, our Addison, IL, family dentist will use specialized computer technology to take images of your mouth and to map out your treatment plan, which will lay out which specific teeth will move during the course of this treatment as well as the exact movements needed.
Who is a good candidate for Invisalign?
Most older teens and adults are great candidates for Invisalign. Invisalign is ideal for any of our patients who are looking to correct,
- “Bad bites” such as overbites, crossbites, underbites, and open bites

The only way for our dental team to determine whether Invisalign is right for you is for you to come into our office for a consultation.
