At our practice, we understand the importance of having a straight, beautiful smile. We are excited to offer Invisalign® clear aligners, a modern and discreet way to achieve the smile you have always wanted. Invisalign treatment provides an innovative approach to teeth straightening without the need for traditional braces, allowing you to enjoy a more comfortable and convenient treatment experience.
What is Invisalign Orthodontic Treatment?
These aligners are made from a smooth, nearly invisible plastic material, making them an attractive option for those who want to straighten their teeth without drawing attention. Each aligner is worn for about two weeks before progressing to the next set in the series, gently moving your teeth over time.
How Invisalign Treatment Works
The Invisalign treatment process begins with a consultation, where we will discuss your goals and assess whether Invisalign clear aligners are the right choice for you. We will create a digital model of your teeth to create your aligners. This allows us to map out the exact movements of your teeth, ensuring precise and predictable results.
Throughout your treatment, you will wear your aligners for 20-22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, drink, brush and floss. Regular check-ins with our team will help us monitor your progress and ensure everything is on track. The length of your treatment will vary based on your unique needs, but many patients achieve their desired results in about 12 to 18 months.
Benefits of Invisalign Aligners
Invisalign clear aligners offer several benefits over traditional braces. The clear aligners are virtually invisible, so you can straighten your teeth without anyone noticing. They are also removable, giving you the flexibility to enjoy your favorite foods and maintain your usual oral hygiene routine. The smooth plastic material is gentle on your cheeks and gums, reducing the risk of irritation and discomfort.
Additionally, Invisalign aligners are designed with your busy lifestyle in mind. There are no brackets or wires to adjust, which means fewer visits to our office. You can spend less time in the dental chair and more time enjoying your life.
