Invisalign® clear braces are alternatives to metal braces, with no uncomfortable wires or brackets. They are virtually invisible, so it is doubtful that anyone will even notice you are wearing braces. Invisalign® is completely adaptable to different lifestyles, removable and replaceable.
Invisible Teeth Straightening:
Your Invisalign® treatment plan will consist of wearing a series of clear plastic aligners that have been specifically designed for your teeth and bite. Before treatment even begins and using advanced 3D technology, we design a custom plan for you and show you the results you can achieve. Once your treatment starts, your teeth will be gradually and precisely moved into place over the time period specified in your plan.
- Clear, plastic aligners are replaced every two weeks, to gradually straighten teeth.
- May be removed for special occasions, to eat, or to care for your teeth.
- Proven effective in numerous orthodontic and dental practices, nationwide, as well as in clinical research studies.
Benefits of Invisalign®
- Virtually Invisible: Only you and your dentist will know when you are wearing braces.
- Removable: Remove the aligners to brush, floss, eat, or even for a special occasion. Teens can look forward to attending their prom without braces. High school reunion? Wedding? Take them out!
- Less time spent at the dental office: Since there are no fixed metal brackets or wires to adjust, visits to your dentist will be less frequent. You will receive a new set of aligners every other week during your Invisalign® treatment, but will only need to come to our office approximately every 6 weeks for a check-up.
Invisalign® Teen
A specialized Invisalign® system for teens and “tweens” is also available through our office.
- With braces that can’t be easily seen, teens enjoy more self-confidence and are willing to smile more. They don’t have to fear being teased for wearing braces. And, as icing on the cake, they can attend their prom with bare, beautiful teeth, even if they have not completed their treatment.
- Special aligners for teens allow permanent teeth to grow in without obstruction. This is accomplished by the special shape of the aligners.
- For teen use, each aligner displays a Blue Dot Wear Indicator. Over the two-week wear period for each set of aligners, the Blue Dot Wear Indicator fades away to nothing, thus alerting you that you need your next set of aligners.
- Since the aligners are easy to remove, teens can easily perform their brushing and flossing tasks and will do a better job than is possible with standard metal braces.
- Teens and especially Tweens will appreciate less pain in the dentist’s chair and less irritation to their mouths.
- Free replacement aligners are provided in case of loss.
Invisalign® Express
A short course of treatment, appropriate for cases that need only a small amount of correction, consists of a maximum of ten aligners. This plan takes a minimum of twenty weeks, plus time for any retainer treatment. It is also applicable to rebound cases, for people who have had braces in the past.
