Invisalign

With technology and dental advancements, dentists and orthodontists are better able to use their experience to your advantage. Metal braces and retainers are no longer your only option for correcting orthodontic issues and achieving a beautiful smile.

Invisalign^® dentistry offers patients many benefits including:

• A healthy smile
• A comfortable fit
• Easy to remove and clean
• No wires resulting in a lowered risk of teeth and gum irritation
• Lower restrictions on the food and beverages you can consume
• Short treatment options

In addition to Invisalign^®, our orthodontists offer a full array of comprehensive orthodontic services, including conventional treatment, with traditional metal braces when necessary.

Invisalign^® patients should wear each set of their aligners for approximately two weeks. After an initial scan, you will be given two sets of aligners to last you for four weeks. You will have to wear the first set for two weeks. At the end of two weeks, you replace the first set with the second new set. Each time a new set of aligners are made, they are customized to position your teeth straighter than the previous trays to put pressure on your teeth. Ultimately, moving your teeth every two weeks to match each new tray.

You may be required to wear your aligners for up to 22 hours a day except while you brush and floss, eat, and drink, to maintain dental health.

Once you have reached the six-week mark, your Orthodontist will ensure your treatment plan is on track.

The duration of Invisalign® treatment varies from patient to patient. However, the results are often obtained within one year.

Invisalign^® can be an option for just about any adult or teenager who suffers from mild orthodontic problems. Individuals who have teeth spacing or crowding can highly benefit from Invisalign^®.

Invisalign^® is even recommended for those who are highly active in sports, or those who play musical instruments as they do not cause any interference. However, there are some situations where an individual is not a candidate for Invisalign®. In this case, their best orthodontic treatment option would be traditional braces.

Invisalign^® has a 96% success rate in treating orthodontic problems ranging from underbites, misalignment, crowded teeth, and jaw problems.
