Invisalign®

 Your Path to a Confident, Straight Smile

At Fresh Dental Care in Anchorage, AK, we understand that achieving straight teeth is about more than just aesthetics — it’s about boosting your confidence and improving your overall oral health. That’s why Dr. Parisa Rahmanian is proud to offer Invisalign, a revolutionary orthodontic treatment that straightens your smile discreetly and comfortably. Whether you’re a busy professional, a parent, or a teen looking for an alternative to traditional braces, Invisalign provides a flexible, nearly invisible solution to transform your smile.

What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign is an advanced orthodontic treatment that uses a series of custom-made, clear plastic aligners to gradually shift your teeth into their ideal positions. Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, allowing you to straighten your teeth without drawing attention to your treatment. Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks before moving on to the next set in the series, gently guiding your teeth toward the smile you’ve always wanted.

Why Choose Invisalign?

When you visit our dentist, Dr. Parisa Rahmanian, for an Invisalign consultation, you’ll discover numerous benefits that make this treatment option stand out:

• Discreet Appearance: The clear aligners are barely noticeable, making Invisalign perfect for adults and teens who want to avoid the look of traditional braces.
• Removable Convenience: Unlike fixed braces, Invisalign aligners can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing. This means you can enjoy all your favorite foods without restrictions and maintain excellent oral hygiene throughout your treatment.
• Comfortable Fit: Invisalign aligners are made from smooth, BPA-free plastic that won’t irritate your cheeks or gums the way metal brackets and wires can.
• Predictable Results: Using advanced 3D imaging technology, including our iTero Scanner, Dr. Rahmanian can show you a virtual representation of your expected results before you even begin treatment.
• Fewer Office Visits: Invisalign typically requires fewer adjustment appointments than traditional braces, making it ideal for busy schedules.

The Invisalign Treatment Process

Your journey to straight teeth begins with a comprehensive consultation at Fresh Dental Care. Dr. Rahmanian will examine your teeth, discuss your smile goals, and determine if Invisalign is the right orthodontic treatment for you. Using our state-of-the-art iTero Scanner, we’ll create precise digital impressions of your teeth — no messy traditional impressions needed.

These digital scans are used to create a customized treatment plan that maps out the exact movements of your teeth from start to finish. You’ll receive a series of aligners designed specifically for your smile transformation. Most patients wear each set of aligners for 20-22 hours per day, removing them only for meals and oral hygiene.

Throughout your treatment, you’ll visit our Anchorage office periodically so Dr. Rahmanian can monitor your progress and provide you with your next sets of aligners. Most Invisalign treatments take between 12 and 18 months, though the exact timeline varies depending on the complexity of your case.

Invisalign for Teens

At Fresh Dental Care, we also offer Invisalign for Teens, a specialized option designed with younger patients in mind. These aligners include special compliance indicators that fade over time to help ensure teens are wearing their aligners as directed. With Invisalign for Teens, your child can enjoy their high school years without the self-consciousness that sometimes comes with metal braces.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Invisalign hurt?

How long does Invisalign treatment take?

Treatment time varies based on individual needs, but most patients complete their Invisalign journey in 12 to 18 months. Dr. Rahmanian will provide a more accurate timeline during your consultation.

Can I eat and drink with Invisalign?

You should remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water. This prevents staining and damage to the aligners while allowing you to enjoy all your favorite foods.
