Invisalign® offers a modern and discreet alternative to traditional metal braces for straightening your teeth. This innovative orthodontic treatment utilizes a series of custom-made, clear plastic aligners to gradually shift your teeth into their ideal positions. Unlike conventional braces, which use metal brackets and wires, Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, making them an appealing option for those who prefer a less noticeable solution.
The Invisalign process begins with a comprehensive examination where our dentist evaluates your dental needs and determines if Invisalign is suitable for you. Using advanced digital imaging, we create a detailed treatment plan that maps out the gradual movements of your teeth. This plan is used to design a series of aligners that are custom fit to your teeth.
You will wear each set of aligners for about two weeks before transitioning to the next set in the series. Each set of aligners gently shifts your teeth closer to their desired positions. Regular follow-up visits to our office are necessary to monitor your progress and ensure the treatment is on track.
Invisalign can address many of the same orthodontic concerns typically treated with braces, including crowded teeth, crooked teeth, gaps between teeth and bite issues such as overbites, underbites, open bites and crossbites. The aligners are made from smooth, comfortable plastic and their removable nature allows for easy cleaning and maintenance of your oral hygiene.
If you are considering a discreet and effective option for straightening your smile, contact our office today to learn more about Invisalign. We look forward to helping you achieve a confident and beautiful smile with the convenience and comfort of Invisalign aligners.
