Why
Invisalign®?
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.
What is Invisalign®?
Invisalign® is the invisible way to straighten
your teeth without braces.
Invisalign® uses a series of clear removable
alignersto 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.
How Are Aligners Made? You'd Be Amazed...
The aligners are made through a combination of
your orthodontist's or dentist's expertise and
3-D computer imaging technology.
