Discover the brilliance of a straighter, more confident smile with Invisalign at LALUME Dental Studio.

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign uses clear, custom-made aligners to gently shift your teeth into their ideal positions. Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, allowing you to straighten your teeth discreetly and comfortably, improving your facial balance and even improving your airway. Dr. Shahira Saad is an experienced Invisalign provider who can help you achieve the smile of your dreams.

Invisalign

Illuminate your smile and your life with discreet, comfortable, and effective Invisalign treatment.

Discreet and Virtually Invisible

Invisalign aligners are made of clear, BPA-free plastic, making them nearly undetectable when worn. You can straighten your teeth without drawing unwanted attention to your smile, allowing you to feel confident in both professional and social settings.

Comfortable and Convenient

Invisalign aligners are smooth and custom-fit to your teeth, ensuring a comfortable experience throughout your treatment. Unlike metal braces, there are no wires or brackets to irritate your cheeks and gums. Plus, the aligners are removable, so you can eat, brush, and floss with ease.

Faster Treatment Time

For most patients at our office, Invisalign treatment takes as little as 4-6 months, which is significantly shorter than traditional braces. Of course, everyone's case is different, and Dr. Saad will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs and smile goals, ensuring you achieve your desired results in the most efficient manner possible.

The Invisalign Treatment Process

Step 1: Your Consultation

During your initial consultation, Dr. Saad will assess your smile and discuss your goals. She will take digital impressions of your teeth using an iTero scanner, which creates a precise 3D model of your smile. This model is used to create your custom treatment plan.

Step 2: Your Custom Aligners

Based on your treatment plan, a series of custom Invisalign aligners will be fabricated just for you. When your aligners arrive, you’ll return to our office for polishing between select teeth to create space if needed, and for placing Invisalign attachments—small, tooth-colored bumps that help your aligners achieve faster, more precise movements. You'll wear each set of aligners 22 hours a day for 7 days before progressing to the next set. As you advance through the series, your teeth will gradually shift into their desired positions.

Step 3: Your New Smile

Throughout your treatment, Dr. Saad will monitor your progress remotely with Invisalign Virtual Care and ensure your smile is on track. Once you've completed your Invisalign journey, you'll return to LALUME where Dr. Saad will perform a final evaluation and any necessary smile shaping to refine worn edges and restore symmetry. You'll also get to discuss any additional cosmetic needs or desires you may have. Once your smile is where you want it, we'll take a final scan for your retainers so you can maintain your stunning new smile for years to come.

I recently had a filling done by Dr. Saad at LaLume Dental Studio, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The office itself is beautiful, more reminiscent of a luxury spa than a typical dental practice. However, the welcoming staff quickly puts you at ease, striking a perfect balance between professionalism and friendliness. Dr. Saad is truly outstanding in her field. She took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure, which greatly alleviated any anxiety I had. Her technique is remarkably gentle; I was surprised at how comfortable I felt throughout the entire process, even during the anesthetic injection. What stood out most was Dr. Saad's efficiency without compromising on quality. The procedure was completed swiftly, yet the results are impeccable. My new filling feels completely natural - I can't even detect it when eating.For anyone in need of a filling or any dental work, I highly recommend Dr. Saad. Her expertise and approach have genuinely changed my perspective on dental visits. LaLume Dental Studio offers a level of care and comfort that sets a new standard for dental experiences.

Dr. Saad is a life saver! I was born missing my two front side teeth and never felt confident to smile. No dentist ever made me feel comfortable to move forward with dental treatment until I discovered Dr. Saad. I appreciate that Dr. Saad spent ample time explaining all of my options in great detail and put my severe dental anxiety at ease. Not only is she very smart and up to date on the latest technology, she is SO sweet and her eye for detail is impeccable. I can’t thank her enough for giving me the smile of my dreams!

Dr. Saad and her entire team are fantastic! I needed to replace some old veneers, crowns and a bridge and was dreading it. Dr. Saad provided the absolute best care and designed a smile that far exceeded my expectations. The process was as painless as possible and with light sedation, it was stress-free. Dr. Saad is up to date on the latest developments and technology, too. Highly recommend for any cosmetic dentistry!
