Why a Saliva Test?
During your exam, we can see:
- Inflammation
- Bleeding
- Bone loss
- Gum recession
But what we can’t see is:
- Which bacteria are causing it
- How aggressive those bacteria are
- Your individual risk for disease progression
This testing fills in that missing piece.
Instead of treating based on what’s common, we treat based on
what’s actually present in your mouth.

Your First Visit
Before beginning your Invisalign® journey, it's essential to undergo a thorough dental examination to rule out any underlying issues such as gum disease, jaw concerns, or active tooth decay. Assuming everything checks out, Austin Elite Smiles will proceed by taking scans of your teeth, which are then used to generate precise digital 3D models of your mouth. Invisalign® labs utilize these models to meticulously map out your tooth movement and fabricate your custom alignment trays through digital printing.
