Invisalign is a special teeth-straightening solution for those seeking to fix their smile without resorting to traditional brackets and wires.

Invisalign trays are snug to the teeth, tailor-made for your mouth, and with consistent application, can lead to an improved smile in approximately 12 to 18 months. Many individuals begin noticing differences in their smile just a couple of weeks into the treatment!

Invisalign Could Be Your Solution

It's critical to make sure that Invisalign is the correct treatment for your dental desires. Most patients opting for Invisalign in Gonzales will have the same results as if using traditional braces to align their teeth. However, severe spacing issues or a canted jawline can mean Invisalign cannot be used. Thankfully, Invisalign providers in Gonzales, such as Frugé Orthodontics, utilize a 3D image of your whole mouth and how it operates to properly evaluate your eligibility for the program. This also helps see how your teeth have and will progress throughout the Invisalign process.

Getting the most out of Invisalign®

The secret behind your seemingly magically straightening teeth will remain a mystery so long as you don't remove your Invisalign in view. Worn for approximately 22 hours each day, even while sleeping, our Gonzales-based Invisalign straightener has the potential to perfect your smile out in as short a time as 20 weeks. It needs to be removed during teeth cleaning, which is still very important to the health of your mouth and also while you're eating.

What you should avoid while using Invisalign®

If you leave your Invisalign in your mouth while consuming certain beverages or smoking, you can expect to see that reflected in your current mold. Heavy smoking and coffee use will see the clear Invisalign start to stain a yellowish color over time. If you are worried about having a yellow smile until your next Invisalign set arrives, then it's a good habit to avoid food that stains. The rule goes that if it would normally stain your exposed teeth, then it will stain your Invisalign.

A step above traditional braces

Invisalign in Gonzales has been praised for its comfort compared to traditional braces. Rather than having a mouthful of metal causing painful canker sores and abrasions, you'll have a smooth, custom-molded plastic that is delicate against the sensitive tissues of your mouth. Not only is it easy to snap off and on, but their use also keeps your oral hygiene routine akin to those who don't have braces. Traditional metal braces in Gonzales can sometimes be a chore to clean around, as many popcorn lovers can attest.

Invisalign® vs. traditional braces

Despite all of the benefits of Invisalign in Gonzales, there are a few other things that need to be considered before moving forward. Invisalign is generally costlier than traditional braces, and it won't be able to adjust the heights of each tooth in relationship with one another. If you're a lover of coffee, a heavy smoker, or like to eat staining and acidic foods, then the odds of having a "messier" smile for the duration of your treatment will be higher. If your Invisalign becomes weaker as the binding breaks down, then it will set you back both time and money as another repeated cycle of treatment will be needed to get your teeth on track. Rarely there have been incidents of the unique type of plastic in Invisalign causing gum irritation.

Our Patients Love Us!

Very friendly and prompt service. We did not have to wait at all during the appointment. Dr Jim was wonderful, patient, and caring. He did a great job of relieving my son's anxiety.

Dr. Jim is a competent, and a good guy. After 3 years, 7 filling and got all of my wisdom teeth taken out, my teeth are now healthy. I've attached before and after photos. Before getting orthodontic treatment, I was very insecure and anxious about my smile. Growing up, I was poor and couldn't get brace until I grew up and got a job. I'd do my best to smile without showing my teeth. Now, I'm comfortable smiling and showing...

Quick, easy, and really nice workers. I have only ever gone to the location in Denham Springs, but I had to go to the location in Baton Rouge to get my braces removed since I had to push it back b/c I got sick. The staff were very nice and friendly. I’m unsure of the name of the orthodontic assistant who actually removed my braces but she was very nice and good at her job. I didn’t get poked or...

Today my 8 y/o son had braces installed and he did such an amazing job, thanks to the wonderful staff members. As soon as we walked in we were greeted and asked to be seated until my son’s name was called which only took about 3 minutes. Dr. Andre made my son feel comfortable as he applied his brackets by talking to him and letting him know he was doing such a great job. Towards the end, the dental assistant...
