Invisalign-Invisible Braces
What is Invisalign®?
- Invisalign® is the invisible way to straighten your teeth
without braces.
- 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? You'd Be Amazed...
- The aligners are made through a combination of your orthodontist's
or dentist's expertise and 3-D computer imaging technology.
Invisalign® can help you get the great smile you've always
wanted because it's...
Invisible, so no one can tell you're straightening your
teeth. So now you can smile more during treatment as well as after.
Removable, so you can eat and drink what you want while
in treatment, plus brushing and flossing are no problem.
Comfortable, because it has no metal to cause mouth abrasions
during treatment. And no metal and wires usually means you spend
less time in your doctor's office getting adjustments.
