Request An Appointment
The Invisalign treatment process begins with a consultation at Fairfax Dental Esthetics. During this visit, Dr. Sanae Berrada will assess your dental health and discuss your smile goals. If Invisalign is right for you, a digital scan will be taken to create a 3D model of your teeth. This model is used to design a custom treatment plan and produce your series of aligners. You’ll wear each set of aligners for about two weeks, gradually moving your teeth into their optimal positions. Regular check-ins with Dr. Berrada ensure your treatment is progressing as planned, with adjustments made as necessary to achieve the best results.
How We Can Alleviate Your TMJ Pain:
Mouth Guards
Mouth guards are an essential protective appliance for those with Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (TMJ/TMD). These specially designed guards not only protect teeth from impact injuries but also provide crucial cushioning to reduce trauma to the mouth, teeth, and jaw - areas particularly sensitive in TMJ/TMD patients.
Night Guards
For patients who experience bruxism, or teeth grinding, our team at Lowes Island Dentistry in Sterling, VA encourages you to be fitted for a night guard. Night guards, or bite guards, help to protect your teeth from crushing and grinding of teeth by providing a protective layer between your teeth.
Botox for TMJ
Botox injections can provide relief for those suffering from temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder by relaxing the overactive muscles around the jaw joint. When the muscles are too tense, it can cause pain, teeth grinding, jaw clicking, and limited jaw mobility. Botox works by temporarily weakening these muscle contractions, alleviating compression on the TMJ and reducing associated symptoms like headaches, jaw pain, and lockjaw.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Invisalign work?
%402x%20(2).svg){kind=icon}
Invisalign works by using a series of clear, custom-made aligners that fit snugly over your teeth. Each aligner is designed to make slight adjustments to tooth position, a process mapped out in advance by Dr. Sanae Berrada using advanced 3D imaging technology. These aligners apply controlled force to your teeth, gradually shifting them into the desired position. Every two weeks, you switch to a new set of aligners, each one moving you closer to your ideal smile. The aligners are worn for about 20 to 22 hours a day, only removed for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing, ensuring a flexible yet effective treatment process.
Is Invisalign suitable for everyone?
Invisalign is suitable for many people, but it may not be the best option for everyone. It is particularly effective for treating mild to moderate dental misalignments, such as crowding, spacing, and certain bite issues. However, complex orthodontic cases might require traditional braces or other treatments. During your consultation at Fairfax Dental Esthetics, Dr. Berrada will evaluate your specific dental needs and determine if Invisalign is the right solution for you. Factors like the severity of your dental issues, your commitment to wearing aligners consistently, and your overall oral health will all play a role in deciding the suitability of Invisalign for your treatment.
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
The duration of Invisalign treatment varies depending on the complexity of the dental issues being addressed. On average, treatment can take anywhere from 12 to 18 months. However, some patients may start seeing noticeable improvements in their smile within a few weeks. Dr. Berrada will provide a personalized treatment timeline during your initial consultation, outlining the expected duration based on your unique dental situation. Regular follow-up visits are scheduled to monitor progress and make any necessary adjustments, ensuring that your treatment stays on track and delivers the desired results in the estimated timeframe.
