Testimonials"I was thinking about this procedure for a while but hesitated due to time and costs. Dr. Lim was not pushing me into having it done and was great in providing details on the procedure. I finally decided to take advantage of a holiday promotion and started a great journey in Jan 2011. Everything was explained to me. Dr. Lim took time to explain how the process will work. He was very patient. I am a demanding customer. I like to understand details and it means I need a doctor who takes time to do that, Dr. Lim is just like that. I would visit the office every 6 to 8 weeks. I have never had issues with appointments or waiting time. The results are fantastic. I will add that Dr. Lim accepts nothing but best results. Towards the end of the procedure I was a but tired of more trays to make my bite perfect but Dr. Lim again took time to explain the importance of perfect bite over cosmetic results. Now I have both!!! My friends and family just could not believe the difference! Worth every dollar and every day! Thank you!!!" Overall, my experience was very positive. I cannot believe the improvement they made on my teeth in such a short amount of time. I am so happy with results! I am very pleased with Dr. Lim professional job, stuff work in Glenlake Dental Care office. Scheduling was always done in timely manner, no waiting time; informational part was provided without any pressure and over advertising; I always felt nice attitude and warm, kind, proficient environment. I can’t find enough words to highly recommend Invisalign treatment if you consider straightening your teeth." |
Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat is Invisalign® and how does it work? Invisalign® are virtually invisible aligners made of a thermoplastic material uniquely developed for the Invisalign treatment plan, which look similar to teeth-whitening trays. A series of Invisalign® aligners are custom-made for you, to move your teeth in the sequence determined by your doctor at Glenlake Dental Care. How do Invisalign® aligners straighten my teeth? Thoughout the course of treatment, you will be supplied with a series of Invisalign® aligners. Each aligner will make slight adjustments to teeth position, a process that is mapped out in advance specifically for you by your doctor at Glenlake Dental Care. The aligners cause the teeth to gradually shift from their current position. After about two weeks, you will begin using the next set of aligners to continue the teeth straightening process. What are the primary benefits of using Invisalign®? Invisalign® aligners are removable and are virtually invisible that no one may even notice you're wearing them. For the best results and a timely outcome, aligners should be worn for 20 to 22 hours per day. However, unlike with braces, you have the flexibility to remove your aligners to eat and drink what you want during treatment. You can also remove the aligners to brush and floss for fresh breath and good oral hygiene. There are no metal brackets or wires that could cause irritation to your mouth, an advantage over traditional braces. Since your visit to Glenlake Dental Care during treatment don't involve metal or wire adjustments, you'll likely spend less time in the dental chair. Invisalign® allows you to view your virtual results and treatment plan before you start so you can see how your straightened teeth will look when your treatment is complete. How long will Invisalign® treatment takes? The length of Invisalign® treatment depends on the severity of your case and can only be determined by your doctor. The average case takes about 12 months for adults. The length of time necessary for a teen patient may vary and can be determined by your doctor. How do I get started with Invisalign®?
