Clear aligners

Invisalign

Do you want a straighter smile but dislike the idea of conspicuous metal braces rubbing against your gums and cheeks?

At Bivens Dentistry, we offer Invisalign®, a comfortable and discreet alternative to traditional orthodontics.

Dr. Shaun Bivens is a certified Invisalign provider who's helped countless Mount Juliet, TN, patients achieve a straighter smile. 

What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign treatment consists of a series of custom-made plastic aligners that correct many of the same concerns as braces. Unlike braces, they're virtually undetectable when worn. We offer Invisalign's traditional straightening system and Invisalign Express for qualifying patients at our Mount Juliet office.

Benefits of Invisalign as an Orthodontic Solution

Many dental patients choose Invisalign treatment at Bivens Dentistry because it carries many advantages over traditional orthodontic methods offered at an orthodontist's office. You can expect the following benefits from treatment: 

Discreet Look

Invisalign clear aligners are virtually invisible when worn. The aligners are fabricated using smooth, transparent SmartTrack® material. Smile freely without worrying about distracting metal brackets.

Comfortable Fit

Many orthodontic patients with braces struggle with irritation and discomfort from the brackets and wires. Invisalign aligners fit snugly against your teeth without rubbing against the soft tissues of your mouth, giving you an overall comfortable fit. 

Freedom With Food

Since Invisalign clear aligners are removable, you can continue enjoying all the foods you love without restrictions. Bagels, nuts, popcorn, and more are all perfectly safe, since there are no brackets or wires that could be damaged. Clear aligners give you the freedom to eat without worry.

Easy Cleaning

Invisalign allows you to take better care of your teeth while undergoing orthodontics. With braces, debris can build up and harden around the brackets, especially in younger patients. Invisalign decreases your risk of decay and can ensure healthier teeth after the treatment is complete.

Process of Achieving Straighter Teeth With Invisalign

Invisalign's clear aligners are removable and extremely simple to use.

Joining Us for a Consultation

When you come in for your first Invisalign consultation, we will take panoramic X-rays, and our dentist will perform an oral examination. He will then describe the treatment process and give you an estimate of how long it should take to achieve your goals and how much your treatment will cost. 

Taking Impressions

Next, Dr. Bivens will take a set of impressions and create a precise digital outline of how your teeth will move throughout treatment. We offer both traditional and digital impressions to ensure we have a complete understanding of your smile. 

Placing Attachments

We offer Invisalign attachments for patients whose teeth need an extra push to align properly. Dr. Bivens will strategically place these attachments on specific teeth to help the aligners grip more firmly and gently guide your smile into place. 

Wearing Your Aligners

One of the main reasons patients choose this treatment option is that Invisalign fades into the background of your daily routine. You must wear your aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day. However, you can remove them to eat, brush, and floss – no dietary restrictions or careful flossing around brackets required. 

Coming In For Check-up Appointments

About every week or two, you will exchange your aligners for the next set in the series. We will also schedule you for regular check-ups at our office every six weeks, so Dr. Bivens can monitor your progress and provide additional aligners.

Keeping Your Results

Once your teeth are properly aligned, we will typically fit you for a retainer to maintain your results. Some patients can wear their final aligners instead of purchasing a new appliance.

We Accept Financing

Invisalign and other orthodontic treatments aren't always covered by dental insurance. If your insurance plan doesn't cover Invisalign or if you don't have insurance, you can still achieve the transformative results that Invisalign offers. CareCredit® monthly financing allows you to get orthodontic treatment while staying on a budget that works for you. 

Brighten Your Teeth After Invisalign

We Offer Teeth Whitening

Once you finish your Invisalign treatment, complete your journey to a perfect smile with a professional teeth whitening session. In just one appointment, our prescription-strength teeth whitening treatments can offer brighter, whiter teeth that draw even more positive attention to your newly straightened smile.

I’ve been a patient with Bivens Dentistry for years and have received nothing but exceptional care. Recently when I chipped my front tooth, they went above and beyond to get me in quickly to fix it.
