What is Invisalign?
With up to 2X faster results, Invisalign Clear Aligners are the preferred teeth straightening treatment for our patients. Invisalign eliminates the need to change your lifestyle, which means you can still enjoy the activities you love and eat without restrictions. Removable aligners also mean no emergency trips to our dentist’s office to repair broken brackets or wires.
How Does Invisalign Work?
Invisalign is the result of science meeting art. The aligners are transparent, include no metal, and are custom-designed for your teeth only. Invisalign Technology uses a series of trays to gradually shift your teeth into the desired position. Every two weeks, we will provide you with a new set of carefully manufactured trays to wear. Your teeth will move up to 0.25 mm per tray until they achieve their ideal position.
What are the Signs You Need Invisalign?
Invisalign is ideal for patients with mild to moderate orthodontic problems. If your case is severe, we may recommend traditional teeth straightening methods instead.
Invisalign Technology works best for correcting:
- Crooked teeth
- Crowding
- Crossbite
- Overbite
- Underbite
- Open bite
- Gapped teeth
What Does Invisalign Treatment Involve?
Our Invisalign treatment process has five comprehensive stages:
Stage 1: Take impressions of your teeth
Stage 2: Design a digital treatment plan mapping out your best smile
Stage 3: Custom-create clear plastic aligners for you to wear
Stage 4: Schedule you for dental checks to monitor your progress
Stage 5: Reveal your brand new smile
