Invisalign

Invisalign® is a unique and revolutionary method that straightens teeth using removable, clear aligners. Straighten your teeth discreetly using the Invisalign® treatment process, which moves your teeth gently into place without any metal wires or brackets. Patients that use this method to straighten their teeth don’t have to visit their orthodontists to get their wires tightened on a monthly basis and many people are turning to this option to get straighter teeth. It is possible to improve your smile without having to put up with brackets or wires.

Regular braces come with restrictions on the types of foods that you can consume since apples, popcorn and sticky foods can loosen the brackets or dislocate the wires. With Invisalign®, a person can take out their aligners and eat anything. Patients also don’t have to worry about the pain and discomfort caused by wires cutting the insides of their mouths.

Invisalign® is also better for the overall health of the mouth since the teeth can be cleaned and flossed properly. This helps to prevent gum disease and tooth decay and also provides fresh breath.

We create invisible aligners using 3-D imaging computer technology. We will create customized sets of aligners for you that are meant to be worn for approximately 2 weeks at a time and removed only when you brush, floss, drink or eat. Each aligner will be replaced on a 2-week basis until your teeth reach their prescribed final position.

We schedule appointments on a six-week basis to make sure that your teeth are moving on schedule based on the initial treatment plan. It generally takes between 9 and 15 months to reach the final goal and anywhere from 18 to 30 aligners will be worn during the treatment time. The length of treatment and the number of Invisalign® aligners assigned will vary from one case to the next.

This treatment method is suitable for teens, adults and even seniors and can repair a number of different issues including rotated and cracked teeth along with underbites and overbites. It is also the perfect solution for anyone that has a wide gap between the front teeth and wants a corrected smile.

Once the treatment has been completed successfully you will be provided with a retainer that will help safeguard the integrity of your newly-positioned teeth. The results can be fantastic and provide a patient with a brand-new smile along with improved chewing abilities.
