What
is Invisalign?
Invisalign is the invisible way to straighten your teeth without braces.
Invisalign uses a series of clear removable aligners to straighten your
teeth without metal wires or brackets.
Invisalign has been proven effective in clinical research and in orthdontic
practices nationwide. In fact, over 70% of all U.S. orthodontists are certified
to treat patients with Invisalign.
How Does Invisalign Work?
You wear each set of aligners for about 2 weeks, removing them only to eat,
drink, brush, and floss.
As you replace each aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will
move - little by little, week by week - until they have straightened to
the final position your orthodontist or dentist has prescribed. You'll visit
your orthodontist or dentist about once every 6 weeks to ensure that your
treatment is progressing as planned. Total treatment time averages 9-15
months and the average number of aligners worn during treatment is between
18 and 30, but both will vary from case to case.
Invisalign can help you get the great smile you've always wanted because
it's...
Invisible, so no one can tell
you're straightening your teeth. So now you can smile more during treatment
as well as after.
Removable, so you can eat
and drink what you want while in treatment, plus brushing and flossing are
no problem.
Comfortable, because it has
no metal to cause mouth abrasions during treatment. And no metal and wires
usually means you spend less time in your doctor's office getting adjustments.
Invisalign also allows you to view your own virtual treatment plan when
you start, so you can see how your straight teeth will look when your treatment
is complete.
