Invisalign®
Invisalign®, the invisible new way to straighten teeth, uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually straighten teeth, without metal or wires.
Invisalign® uses 3-D computer imaging technology to depict the complete treatment plan from the initial position to the final desired position from which a series of custom-made "Aligners" are produced.
Aligners are nearly invisible and look similar to clear tooth-whitening trays, but are custom-made for a better fit to move teeth. Each "Aligner" moves teeth incrementally and is worn for about two weeks, then replaced by the next in the series until the final position is achieved.
There are four primary benefits of Invisalign®:
1. Invisalign® is nearly invisible - you can straighten your teeth
without anyone knowing.
2. Invisalign® is removable - you can eat and drink what you want in treatment; you can also brush and floss normally to maintain good oral hygiene.
3. Invisalign® is comfortable - there are no metal brackets or wires to cause
mouth irritation; no metal or wires also means you spend less time
in the doctor's chair getting adjustments.
4. Invisalign® allows you to view your own virtual treatment plan before you start so you can see how your straight teeth will look when your treatment is complete.
