Invisalign® Aligners Straighten Teeth Near Me in Arlington WA
For discreet, fast orthodontic treatment, adults and teens should consider Invisalign clear aligners. Dr. Pav and Pindi Momi are Invisalign-certified dentists offering complete treatment in our Arlington, WA, dental clinic.
The Invisalign system involves creating soft acrylic aligners, customized for each patient. One aligner shifts teeth into position for the next aligner to take over and adjust teeth to the next position. Ultimately, patients enjoy straighter teeth for improved appearance and function.
Why Choose Invisalign?
Invisalign patients enjoy the ability to remove their “braces” whenever they like – to eat, brush, floss, or for a special event like a speaking engagement or photo shoot. Even when aligners are in place, their clearness makes them difficult to see.
Also, Invisalign comes with these benefits:
- Soft, pliable construction for comfort
- No mouth ulcers from poking wires or brackets
- No tightening visits, which can be painful
- No special dental care – brush and floss normally
- No dietary restrictions
- No discoloration of tooth enamel, as is possible with traditional braces
- Fast treatment of 9-18 months, instead of 24 months with braces
Would You Make a Good Invisalign Patient?
Teenagers must have all of their permanent teeth to qualify for Invisalign treatment. Patients should be in good general health and have good oral health. Cavities, chips, infections, and abscesses should be treated prior to starting Invisalign.

What to Expect at Your Invisalign Appointments
At your first visit, the consultation, Dr. Momi will take your complete dental and medical history and x-rays. She may opt for panoramic and cone-beam images so that she can see the arrangement and position of teeth roots and nerves. Next, she’ll capture a digital image of your teeth with Invisalign software.
After developing your custom treatment plan, Dr. Momi will send your scans and records to the Invisalign lab. There, the entire series of aligners will be created and then delivered to our Arlington, WA, dental clinic.
We will provide you with one or two aligners at a time. Wear them as directed, for a minimum of 22 hours a day. Plan also to attend check-in visits so that Dr. Momi can evaluate your progress.
How to Get the Best Results from Invisalign Treatment
The most important part of Invisalign treatment is patient compliance. Wear your aligners for 22 or more hours per day, removing them when you eat, brush, or floss. Simply wash the aligners with gentle soap and water.
Next, attending check-ins is imperative. At these visits, Dr. Momi can make sure your treatment progress aligns with the predicted completion date. If an Invisalign patient neglects to wear the aligners as often as directed, teeth could regress toward their original positions. When this happens, treatment completion is delayed and additional aligners must be ordered at an additional cost.
With Invisalign Teen, a blue dot on the aligners tells the dentist near me whether the patient has worn aligners for 22 hours or more, daily. Furthermore, Invisalign Teen comes with six replacement aligners for those that are lost or broken.
