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 aligners
(pictured to the left) to straighten your teeth without metal
wires or brackets.
- Invisalign® has been proven effective in clinical
research and in orthodontic 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.
