Why You Should Consider a Board Certified Orthodontist for Invisible Dental Aligners

Starting the journey to a straighter smile can be overwhelming, especially when looking for a provider for invisible dental aligners. There are a number of offices or online programs to choose from, specific treatments to research, and a lot of questions to ask. We understand it can feel like homework, but there is a way to help narrow down the search!

Board Certified - A Cut Above the Rest

Just remember, when searching for an orthodontist for clear aligners, choosing a provider that is board - certified in orthodontics is important to ensure you get the best results from your treatment. This is because board-certified orthodontists through the American Board of Orthodontics have undergone specialized training beyond general dental school, specializing in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of dental and facial concerns. They are the best providers to consult with on how to approach orthodontic treatment.

Dr. Aaron Crossley takes great pride in being a board-certified orthodontist. In fact, only about 1 in 3 orthodontists achieve this prestigious certification!

Specialized Training

Becoming board certified is not just a mark of distinction; it reflects a deep commitment to the field of orthodontics. It represents the highest level of academic achievement an orthodontist can attain, and the certification process can take anywhere from 5 to 10 years. Dr. Aaron Crossley has completed extensive training in orthodontics, equipping him with the skills and knowledge necessary to handle complex cases.

Regular Monitoring and Compliance

Invisalign treatment requires careful planning and monitoring to achieve the desired results. Clear aligners show 80-90% effectiveness rates for treating mild to moderate orthodontic issues when properly monitored by a board-certified orthodontist like Dr. Crossley.

Unlike traditional braces, which are fixed in place, Invisalign aligners are removable, allowing for greater flexibility in your daily routine. However, this also means that the effectiveness of the treatment relies heavily on your commitment to wearing the aligners for the recommended 20 to 22 hours per day. Dr. Crossley emphasizes the importance of adhering to this guideline to ensure that your teeth move as planned and that your treatment progresses on schedule. To help you stay on track, Dr. Crossley and his team provide ongoing support and guidance throughout your treatment and are here to answer any questions along the way.

Advanced Technology

Due to his training and experience, Dr. Crossley also utilizes advanced technology, including 3D imaging and digital treatment planning, to design a precise and effective aligner treatment plan. This level of expertise ensures that your treatment is not only effective but also efficient, often resulting in shorter treatment times compared to non-specialists.

Personalized Care

At Crossley Orthodontics, Dr. Crossley prioritizes personalized care. He takes the time to understand your specific goals and concerns, ensuring that your treatment aligns with your expectations. This level of attention is crucial for achieving the best possible outcome with Invisalign. Unlike general dentists or other providers who may offer Invisalign as one of many services, a board-certified orthodontist focuses solely on orthodontics, providing a dedicated approach to your treatment plan.

Ongoing Support

Invisalign treatment involves a series of aligners that need to be changed every one to two weeks. Regular check-ups with a board-certified orthodontist are essential to ensure that your teeth are moving as planned and to make any necessary adjustments promptly. Dr. Crossley’s commitment to ongoing support means that you will receive the care and attention you need throughout your treatment journey. This continuous monitoring helps keep you on track toward achieving your smile goals, ensuring that any concerns are addressed in a timely manner.

Lasting Results
