Our team is committed to helping you achieve the straight, healthy smile you deserve in a comfortable, friendly environment.

Invisalign

Invisalign is a revolutionary orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually straighten teeth. Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, allowing you to discreetly achieve the smile of your dreams. Invisalign is an excellent option for patients who want to straighten their teeth without the discomfort or appearance of metal braces.

Benefits of Invisalign include:

  • Discreet, nearly invisible treatment
  • Removable aligners for easy eating, brushing, and flossing
  • Comfortable, smooth plastic aligners that won’t irritate your cheeks and gums
  • Fewer office visits compared to traditional braces
  • Predictable results and treatment timeline

The Invisalign process begins with a consultation at our Columbus dental office. Dr. Towning will assess your smile and determine if Invisalign is right for you. Using advanced 3D imaging technology, she will create a personalized treatment plan that maps out the precise movements of your teeth.

You’ll receive a series of custom-made aligners, each worn for about two weeks before progressing to the next set. As you wear the aligners for 20-22 hours per day, your teeth will gradually shift into their desired positions. You’ll visit our office every 6-8 weeks so Dr. Towning can monitor your progress and provide you with your next sets of aligners.

Retainers

Retainers are an essential part of maintaining the results of your orthodontic treatment. After your teeth have been straightened with Invisalign or traditional braces, wearing a retainer will help keep them in their new, properly aligned positions.

At Towning Dental, we offer two types of retainers:

  1. Removable Retainers: These retainers are custom-made from clear plastic or acrylic and metal wires. They are designed to fit comfortably over your teeth and can be easily removed for eating, brushing, and flossing.
  2. Fixed Retainers: Also known as bonded retainers, these consist of a thin wire that is bonded to the back of your front teeth. Fixed retainers provide a more permanent solution for maintaining your straight smile and require no removal for eating or oral hygiene.

Dr. Towning will help you determine the best type of retainer for your needs based on your specific case, lifestyle, and preferences. Wearing your retainer as prescribed is crucial to preventing your teeth from shifting back to their original positions and ensuring the longevity of your orthodontic results.
