No metal braces, no wires, no drilling—just clear aligners that are customized for you. With clear aligners, you'll be able to eat anything you desire without limitations, unlike with traditional treatments. What are you waiting for? Your smile awaits!

What is Invisalign? 

Invisalign is a system of dental appliances that are made from a clear material called polymethyl methacrylate. The Invisalign appliance is made to fit the teeth, and remain in place so it can move them into their new position. This treatment approach allows for a more gradual change in the position of the teeth than braces, and there is no need for metal wires or brackets. If you have previously had orthodontic treatment with braces, moving to Invisalign is a gradual process. You will need to be prepared for the time it takes to straighten your teeth. 

Why Choose Invisalign? 

Invisalign offers a modern approach to straightening teeth with the use of clear, comfortable aligners. The Invisalign Treatment Approach includes a three step process: Evaluation, Design and Progress Monitoring. This approach helps to avoid treatment errors and allows for optimal treatment outcomes to be achieved. In addition, this treatment option is removable and therefore patient can enjoy a healthier oral environment. There is no waiting time for the aligners to arrive. 

How Is the Treatment Approach Different than Braces? 

Oftentimes, patients are drawn to the idea of Invisalign because they enjoy the convenience of not wearing braces or metal brackets. However, this is not an accurate depiction of what the treatment entails. The aligners are made of plastic and are clear so they are hard to see on your teeth. But every few weeks, you need to schedule a trip to your dentist for adjustments until your teeth are in perfect alignment. Once your teeth have the correct alignment, you will only need to place the aligners periodically. There is no need to wear braces all the time.

How Can We Ensure Successful Treatment?

 If you are new to Invisalign, you may be wondering if you are a good candidate for this treatment. Invisalign is not for everyone. It is important to have healthy teeth and gums before trying this treatment. You will also be required to brush and floss after each removal. Your treating dentist will evaluate your bite and teeth to determine if you are a good candidate for Invisalign or if you should opt for traditional braces.

Cost of Treatment

Although Invisalign will be a little more expensive than traditional braces, the results are usually worth it. Invisalign is a great alternative to traditional braces because it does not damage the teeth and is extremely comfortable to wear. The Invisalign treatment approach is a great option for those that want to correct their teeth without the inconvenience and restrictions braces would require.
