Exploring Invisalign at Timberline Family Dental
Understanding Invisalign
Invisalign has revolutionized the field of dentistry, offering a discreet and convenient alternative to traditional braces. At Timberline Family Dental in Waukee, we pride ourselves on providing top-notch Invisalign treatments tailored to our patients’ needs.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment that utilizes clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth. These aligners are custom-made to fit snugly over your teeth, gradually shifting them into the desired position.
Advantages of Invisalign
- Invisibility: One of the primary advantages of Invisalign is its discreet nature. The clear aligners are virtually invisible, allowing you to straighten your teeth without drawing attention to your orthodontic treatment.
- Removability: Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are removable. This means you can take them out to eat, drink, brush, and floss, offering greater flexibility and convenience.
- Comfort: Invisalign aligners are made from smooth plastic, eliminating the discomfort often associated with metal brackets and wires.

The Invisalign Process at Timberline Family Dental
Initial Consultation
The journey to a straighter smile begins with a comprehensive consultation at Timberline Family Dental. During this visit, we’ll assess your oral health, discuss your goals, and determine if Invisalign is the right option for you.
Customized Treatment Plan
If Invisalign is suitable for your needs, we’ll take digital impressions of your teeth to create a precise 3D treatment plan. This allows us to map out the exact movements of your teeth and design custom aligners for each stage of your treatment.
Wearing Your Aligners
Once your custom aligners are ready, you’ll wear them for 20 to 22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. Every few weeks, you’ll switch to a new set of aligners to gradually move your teeth into alignment.
Monitoring Your Progress
Throughout your Invisalign treatment, we’ll schedule regular check-ups to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments. Our goal is to ensure that your treatment is progressing smoothly and that you’re on track to achieve your desired results.
