Invisalign®

Are you afraid to show your smile due to crooked teeth? Looking for a discrete way to straighten your smile that doesn’t involve braces?

Invisalign clear aligners are a comfortable and simplified orthodontic treatment for many misalignment issues.

Invisalign is a series of clear plastic aligners molded to fit your teeth in a way that applies constant but gentle pressure, causing your teeth to straighten.
They are an orthodontic landmark and a great alternative to metal brackets and wires for someone who has minor to moderate alignment issues.

What Is Invisalign?

Like braces, Invisalign is designed to move your teeth a little at a time. After digital impressions are taken by your dentist, you will receive a series of plastic aligners to adjust your teeth and gradually shift them into the proper position. It is recommended that you wear your aligners 22 hours each day, removing them only to eat or drink liquids other than water. Each set of aligners is worn about two weeks before moving onto the next set.

A wonderful serenity has taken possession of my entire soul, like these sweet mornings of spring which I enjoy with my whole heart. I am alone, and feel the charm of existence in this spot, which was created for the bliss of souls like mine. I am so happy, my dear friend, so absorbed in the exquisite sense of mere tranquil existence, that I neglect my talents. I should be incapable of drawing a single stroke at the present moment; and yet I feel that I never was a greater artist than now. When, while the lovely valley teems with

HOW CLEAR ALIGNERS

The Process Of Invisalign Treatment

Your dentist will evaluate your overall oral health, then take a series of X-rays, photographs, and impressions of your teeth.

Based on your examination and imaging, your dentist can design a custom orthodontic treatment plan. They will then work with the aligner software to develop your clear aligners.

Once the aligners are created, you will wear them in stages based on your dentist’s recommendation. Because your teeth will be shifting differently with each aligner set, you will periodically visit our office so your dentist can see how you are progressing.

Once you reach the end of the series of aligners, no more aligners are needed. However, just like with braces, you will need to wear a retainer to keep your teeth in place.

Pros And Cons Of Invisalign Aligners

Pros

Cons

Invisible 
The completely clear plastic makes Invisalign virtually undetectable while wearing the aligners.

Removable
Being removable makes Invisalign easy to clean and gives you the freedom to eat anything you like.

Effective
Invisalign is a quick and effective tool to achieve a straight smile. With proper use, you could see your new smile in as little as six months.

Affordable
Patients are often thrilled to learn that Invisalign is comparable in price to traditional orthodontic treatment.

Easily Lost
Since the aligners are removable, they can easily be lost or misplaced. This is generally a concern for parents who have teenagers using Invisalign. However, Invisalign First (previously Invisalign Teen) comes with replacement aligners for this reason. No matter what, be sure to take care whenever removing your aligners so you know where they are at all times.

Staining
Clear aligners can become stained by certain foods and drinks. This is why it is so important to be sure your mouth is rinsed and cleaned before reinserting your aligners.

Only for Mild to Moderate Cases
Invisalign is effective for most misalignment cases, but for more severe cases, they may not be enough. That is why talking with your dentist is always the first step in developing a treatment plan to straighten your teeth.

AESTHETICS
  • The main reason patients prefer Invisalign over braces is that they are transparent and virtually undetectable while wearing them. On the other hand, traditional braces have brackets that are very visible and can affect your confidence.
COMFORT
  • Invisalign feels more like your natural teeth than the brackets and wires of braces. Traditional braces can rub on your tongue and soft oral tissues, leaving them irritated. In addition, switching clear aligners is far easier than getting the wires tightened on your braces.
EASIER TO CLEAN
  • Not only is it easier to clean your clear aligners than braces, but it is also easier to clean your teeth as well. Since they are removable, you can brush and floss your teeth as you normally would. That also means no foods are off-limits when undergoing Invisalign treatment!

Invisalign Versus Traditional Braces

Since each person’s dental care plan is unique, the cost of treatment will vary for each patient. Typically, Invisalign is around the same price as traditional metal braces, and many basic insurance plans will contribute to the cost of this treatment.
