A Clear Path to a Straighter Smile
Straightening your teeth no longer means a mouth full of metal brackets and wires. Invisalign uses a series of clear, custom-made aligners to gradually and gently move your teeth into place, all while being nearly invisible. It is a discreet, comfortable, and convenient way for teens and adults to transform their smiles.
At Broadway Dental of Millbrae, Dr. Donald Yang is a Gold-level Invisalign Provider and a member of the American Academy of Clear Aligners, which means you are in experienced hands. He designs each treatment plan around your unique smile, so you can straighten your teeth on your terms without disrupting your life.
Ask About Invisalign
What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear, removable aligners instead of traditional braces. Each set of aligners is custom made to fit snugly over your teeth, applying gentle, controlled pressure to shift them little by little. You wear each set for a couple of weeks before moving on to the next in the series, and over time your teeth move steadily toward their final position.
Because the aligners are made of smooth, clear plastic, most people will not even notice you are wearing them. And because they are removable, they fit seamlessly into your daily routine.
What Invisalign Can Correct
Invisalign has become a versatile treatment capable of addressing many of the same issues as traditional braces. Dr. Yang may recommend Invisalign to correct:
- Crowded teeth that overlap due to a lack of space
- Gaps and spacing between teeth
- Overbite, where the top teeth extend too far over the bottom
- Underbite, where the bottom teeth sit ahead of the top
- Crossbite, where the top and bottom teeth do not align properly
- Mild to moderate alignment issues affecting your smile or bite
During a consultation, Dr. Yang will evaluate your smile and let you know whether Invisalign is the right fit for your goals.
Your Invisalign Journey from Start to Smile
Getting started with Invisalign is simple, and Dr. Yang guides you through every step. Here is what to expect:
1
Consultation
Dr. Yang examines your teeth, discusses your goals, and determines whether Invisalign is right for you.
2
Digital scanning and planning
We capture precise digital impressions with our intraoral scanner and map out your custom treatment plan, often with a preview of your future smile.
3
Custom aligners
Your series of clear aligners is created specifically for your teeth and treatment plan.
4
Wearing your aligners
You wear each set for the recommended time, usually about two weeks, before switching to the next, removing them only to eat and clean your teeth.
5
Check-ins and completion
Periodic visits let Dr. Yang monitor your progress. Once treatment is complete, a retainer helps keep your new smile in place.
