Invisalign
Invisalign can give you the beautiful straight teeth you've always
wanted. It works through a series of
invisible
,
removable
,
and
comfortable
aligners that no
one can tell you're wearing. So you can smile more during treatment
as well as after.
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 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?
The aligners are made through a combination of your dentist's
expertise and 3-D computer imaging technology. (click on the Invisalign logo
