INVISALIGN
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that straightens teeth with the use of BPA-Free plastic aligners that cover your teeth and gently pull them into the proper position over time. Because they are clear and can be taken on and off, they are less noticeable than traditional metal braces. You are provided with multiple sets of aligners that are each worn about 10-14 days. You switch to the next set of aligners after the recommended wear time, and each set slowly moves your teeth into position.
Most people want to improve their smile but think that traditional, metal braces are the only option. With Invisalign Clear Braces, there are no metal brackets or wire to detract from your smile while undergoing treatment. With Invisalign clear braces, your teeth can be comfortable, beautiful, and precisely aligned in half of the time it would require with traditional braces. Whether you are a parent exploring orthodontic treatment for your teenager, or an adult who has put off treatment for years, Invisalign is an effective and discreet solution.
How Does The Invisalign Process Work?
If Invisalign is right for your case, we’ll use the examination, along with x-rays, and an impression of your teeth to establish a personalized treatment plan for you. The treatment plan determines how your teeth need to shift and how long it will take to align them correctly. The x-rays, 3D model, and pictures of your teeth are sent to the Invisalign laboratory where your customized aligners are crafted. The 3D model of your teeth will also allow you see how Invisalign will progressively correct your orthodontic issues.
Advantages of Invisalign Over Traditional Braces
When considering your orthodontic treatment options, it’s important to know the advantages of Invisalign over traditional braces.
· These are clear braces. Most people won’t notice you’re wearing them.
· It’s easier to maintain good oral health with Invisalign. You will remove the aligners when you eat, brush your teeth, and floss.
· These aligners are much more comfortable than metal braces. They don’t irritate your teeth or gums.
· Invisalign saves you time. Unlike braces that require more frequent office visits to change the arch wire and make adjustments, you will have fewer checkups with Invisalign. Treatment time can also be shorter, too.
