At Red Lion Dental, located conveniently at 1600 6th Avenue, Suite 109, York, PA, we offer Invisalign® as a modern and comfortable alternative to traditional braces. Whether you’re from York, PA, or surrounding areas like Harrisburg, Lancaster, or even Westminster, MD, Dr. David Black, DMD, and Dr. Daniel A. Shalkey, DDS, are dedicated to helping you achieve a straighter, healthier smile without the discomfort and visibility of metal braces.

What Is Invisalign and How Does It Work?

Invisalign is an innovative orthodontic treatment that uses clear aligners to gradually shift your teeth into the desired position. Unlike metal braces, Invisalign aligners are removable, practically invisible, and customized to fit your teeth perfectly. Each set of aligners is designed to move your teeth slightly closer to their ideal position, and you switch to a new set approximately every two weeks.

Invisalign is highly popular among both teens and adults looking for a more discreet way to straighten their teeth. You can achieve the results you want while maintaining your confidence, whether you’re at school, work, or social events. Invisalign is also comfortable and designed to fit seamlessly into your life, providing an orthodontic solution that works for busy professionals and active teens alike.

The Invisalign Process at Red Lion Dental

Dr. David Black and Dr. Daniel Shalkey have years of experience using Invisalign to provide personalized, effective orthodontic treatment. Here’s what to expect when you start your Invisalign journey with Red Lion Dental:

  1. Consultation: During your initial consultation at our York, PA office, we’ll discuss your smile goals and assess whether Invisalign is the best choice for you. Dr. Black or Dr. Shalkey will evaluate your teeth, bite, and overall oral health, creating a treatment plan that’s tailored specifically to you.
  2. 3D Imaging and Customization: Using advanced 3D imaging technology, we’ll create a precise digital model of your current smile and map out the movements needed to reach your desired results. This technology allows you to preview what your smile will look like after treatment.
  3. Wearing Your Aligners: You’ll receive a series of custom-made aligners that you’ll wear for about 20-22 hours a day. The aligners are removable, so you can take them out to eat, drink, brush, and floss. The flexibility makes Invisalign a great choice for people who want to enjoy their favorite foods without worrying about damaging braces.
  4. Regular Check-Ins: Throughout your treatment, you’ll visit Red Lion Dental for regular check-ins to monitor your progress. Our team ensures that your aligners are working as planned, and adjustments are made if necessary.
  5. Reveal Your New Smile: After completing the series of aligners, you’ll enjoy a beautifully aligned smile! Many of our patients experience remarkable results in 12-18 months, though treatment time varies depending on individual needs.

The Benefits of Invisalign Over Traditional Braces

Traditional metal braces have been the go-to solution for orthodontic treatment for years, but Invisalign offers several benefits that make it a preferred choice for many:

  • Nearly Invisible: Invisalign aligners are clear and almost invisible, allowing you to undergo orthodontic treatment without drawing attention to your smile. This is a big advantage for adults and teens alike who want a discreet treatment option.
  • Comfortable: Made of smooth plastic, Invisalign aligners are gentle on the gums and cheeks, reducing the irritation often associated with metal braces.
  • Freedom to Eat What You Love: Since the aligners are removable, there are no food restrictions. Simply take them out to enjoy your favorite meals and snacks, and put them back in once you’re done.
  • Easier Oral Hygiene: Maintaining good oral hygiene is simple with Invisalign. You can brush and floss as usual, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease that sometimes occur with traditional braces.
  • Shorter Treatment Time for Many Patients: Depending on the complexity of your case, Invisalign treatment can often be completed in a shorter timeframe than traditional braces.

If you’re wondering if Invisalign is right for you, we encourage you to schedule a consultation with Red Lion Dental to learn more. We’re here to help you make an informed choice about your orthodontic treatment.
