INTRODUCING INVISALIGN®
Imagine a beautifully straight smile without all the restrictions of traditional metal braces. The lack of wires and brackets is a top reason why Invisalign® is one of the most popular treatment options.
Invisalign® aligners are clear, meaning you can straighten your teeth without the obvious appearance of metal braces.
Since Invisalign’s aligners are removable, you can eat and drink anything you want. Simply take out the aligners to eat, then replace them when you’re finished.
With removable aligners, you can engage in activities that traditional wire braces may restrict.
With Invisalign®, each aligner is custom-designed to fit precisely as it puts gentle pressure on the teeth to move them into place. There are no wires and brackets that may cause bleeding and discomfort to gums and other oral tissues.
Unlike with traditional braces, there is no special brushing needed. Simply remove the aligners, perform your regular oral hygiene routine, and put the aligners back in place.
It’s simple and free to see if Invisalign® will work for you. During your consultation, our team will assess your oral health and analyze whether Invisalign® is the best treatment solution for your situation.
The road to your beautifully straight smile begins with detailed images and impressions of your teeth so we can determine your personalized Invisalign® pathway. Your plan will detail the length of treatment, the expected results, and the financial arrangements for care. Though the timeline for transformation involves many factors, adults can typically expect about a year and teenagers around eighteen months.
When your new aligners are ready, we will walk you through the simple process of wearing them. Invisalign® clear aligners are made of BPA-free smooth plastic and are specifically designed for your teeth. You can fully expect them to fit comfortably while you wear them for between 20 and 22 hours a day. Remember, your aligners can be taken out to eat, drink, or engage in activities where removal is helpful.
You will need to switch to a new next-step aligner about every two weeks as each Invisalign® aligner gently moves your teeth into position. Precision crafted, the aligners are designed to build upon the previous set to shift your teeth about 1/10mm per tray. With each new aligner, you will begin to see your teeth move closer and closer to their final goal. Our team will see you at regular intervals throughout your treatment to ensure everything is moving according to schedule.
When your treatment is complete, you’ll be flashing your new, confident smile for the world to see. For some patients, a follow-up retainer may be worn to ensure your beautifully straight smile remains aligned.
Studies show that a beautiful smile increases self-esteem, confidence, and overall appearance. Research also reveals that a straight, bright smile may lead to greater professional opportunities and higher income levels.
Straightened teeth lead to better lifelong oral health. They are easier to clean and less prone to chipping and decay. Straighter teeth also reduce the likelihood of gingivitis and gum disease.
