Invisalign is an innovative orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear, custom-made aligners to gradually shift your teeth into their desired positions. You wear each set of aligners for about two weeks. As you progress through the series, your teeth move closer to the final result.
Unlike traditional braces that use metal brackets and wires, Invisalign aligners are made from smooth, comfortable plastic. They're virtually invisible when worn, making them an ideal choice for those who want to straighten their teeth discreetly. Invisalign aligners are also removable, allowing you to eat, drink, brush, and floss with ease.
Invisalign works for most people with mild to moderate orthodontic issues, including crowded teeth, gaps, and certain bite problems. A consultation with our experienced dental team can determine if Invisalign is the right solution for your needs.
Teens and adults particularly appreciate the subtlety and simplicity of Invisalign. The fact that the aligners can straighten your teeth without the need for uncomfortable brackets and dietary restrictions is also appealing.
The journey begins with a consultation, where your dentist will assess your smile and discuss your goals. If Invisalign is a suitable option, the team takes digital impressions and scans to create your personalized treatment plan. They send the scans to the Invisalign laboratory, which crafts your unique aligners.
When they arrive at the office, you come in for an appointment, where the team explains how to use the aligners to best improve your smile.
The duration of Invisalign treatment varies depending on the complexity of your case and the specific alignment goals. On average, treatment can take around 12-18 months, but some cases may require less time, while others might take longer. Often, Invisalign treatment is quicker than treatment with traditional braces.
For optimal results, Invisalign aligners should be worn for 20-22 hours a day, removing them only for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. Consistency in wearing your aligners is essential to ensure the treatment progresses as planned.
