Invisalign The clear alternative to braces Invisalign® is a sophisticated, yet remarkably easy way, to straighten teeth without the drawbacks of traditional braces. Invisalign® is an orthodontic system where a patient wears a series of removable and virtually invisible plastic aligners to correct the position of their teeth. Each aligner is programmed to move your teeth in small increments in order to achieve a beautiful, straight smile. Invisalign® offers a distinct advantage over conventional braces, being that it is a removable system. This makes it easier to eat and brush your teeth properly. Invisalign® is an excellent choice for adults and teenagers who want to straighten their teeth in a discreet manner, without embarrassing metal braces. Invisalign® can also be a valuable treatment for patients prior to receiving cosmetic dentistry, by reducing the invasiveness of the anticipated restorative dentistry. Why choose Invisalign®? - Virtually invisible aligners
- Removable - allows for an unrestricted diet and normal brushing and flossing
- Metal-free - smooth against the lips and inside of the mouth. The aligners are made of BBA-free, phthalate-free plastic that are precisely molded to fit perfectly to your teeth.
How Invisalign® works At the start of treatment, impressions are made of your teeth. The data from these impressions is entered into an advanced 3-D computer imaging program to assist our dentist in creating your individualized treatment plan. This 3-D virtual technology also shows you what your teeth will eventually look like once the treatment is complete. The Invisalign® treatment usually involves about 30 aligners for the upper teeth and 30 aligners for the lower teeth. These aligners are worn in sequence, from the first set to the last set, usually in two week intervals. This process is continued until all of the aligners have been worn and the teeth have shifted into their final position. Regular visits to the dentist's office are recommended - once every six weeks- for reports on your progress. For more information about Invisalign request a copy of our Invisalign Guide.
