Invisalign® treatment can straighten your teeth without unsightly metal braces and wires. Invisalign® utilizes clear plastic aligners to shift your teeth into your ideal smile. The aligners are so discreet that no one needs to know you are wearing them!
Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment system that uses invisible and removable aligners that help align your teeth without having to get braces. It is completely unnoticeable by anyone else making it the perfect option for those who are worried about having braces.
Compared to traditional braces, the aligners are removable and invisible. This makes it easier to eat and drink during treatment. This also provides several benefits while brushing and flossing compared to traditional braces since you don’t have to worry about wires.
The greatest benefit is that they’re also comfortable, due to the lack of metal which could cause abrasions during orthodontic treatment.
The Invisalign system uses a series of clear aligners that are custom made to your teeth structure. You’ll wear each set of aligners for a 2 week period at around 20-22 hours per day, only removing them to eat, drink, brush, and floss. By replacing your aligners, this will cause your teeth to move little by little, until they reach the straightened appearance you want.
The Invisalign system works best for minor orthodontic issues, such as mild to moderate tooth misalignment, and is therefore not recommended for all patients. Those with severe orthodontic issues or jaw alignment problems are recommended other treatments.
Invisalign results will vary per patient, but on average the total treatment time takes around 9-15 months.
Invisalign® aligners are discreet and unobtrusive. These clear aligners move your teeth efficiently and comfortably. Invisalign® is a non-invasive way to achieve a more beautiful smile. Adults usually prefer Invisalign aligners over traditional metal braces, because they are easy to wear and virtually invisible.
Crowded, crooked teeth are difficult to keep clean—bacteria and plaque can quickly accumulate in hard to reach nooks and crannies. Clear, transparent Invisalign® aligners straighten uneven teeth, allowing you to easily floss and brush away harmful bacteria. Plus, Invisalign® trays are removable, so during treatment you can remove your aligner to floss and brush—keeping your smile sparkling clean.
