What Is Invisalign®?
Invisalign is a clear, removable aligner system that uses three-dimensional imaging technology to create aligners that fit your smile precisely. The aligners are made from patented SmartTrack material, which gently moves teeth into their desired position without the need for brackets or wires. Treatment with Invisalign is comfortable and efficient, making it an ideal choice for patients of all ages.
How Does It Work?
Treatment with Invisalign typically spans between six and eighteen months and involves a series of custom-crafted aligners. Each aligner in the series is a bit different from the one before it, slowly guiding teeth into the desired position. Patients must wear each set of aligners for two weeks and 22 hours each day before switching to their next aligner. During treatment with Invisalign, patients must return to our office at regular intervals for progress check-up appointments.
Treatment That Fits Their Lifestyle
Invisalign is one of the most discreet and convenient ways to straighten teeth and works great for patients with active lifestyles. Unlike braces, Invisalign aligners are removable and allow you to eat, drink, brush, and floss without any interference. Plus, their ability to be removed means no difficulty if you or your teen plays instruments or participates in contact sports. Invisalign also doesn’t require as many follow-up visits to the orthodontist, so you can rest easy knowing that your orthodontic care won’t take over your schedule.
No matter how busy you are or what your life involves, Invisalign can be tailored to your needs and lifestyle!
A Modern Approach
Invisalign is truly a revolutionary approach to orthodontic care! While in the past many patients would turn down orthodontics due to discomfort, long treatment times, or lack of convenience, Invisalign offers a modern system to meet all your needs. With clear aligners and minimal treatment time, Invisalign can help patients get the smile they’ve always wanted without any of the hassles. Benefits of Invisalign include:
- Clear aligners that are virtually invisible when worn
- Removable aligners for easy eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing
- Short treatment times when compared to braces
- Fewer follow-up visits to the orthodontist
- Comfort and convenience
Candidacy For Invisalign®
Invisalign is an effective treatment for varying degrees of misalignment and can be used to treat a wide range of orthodontic issues. Generally, Invisalign works best for patients with mild to moderate cases of misalignment. However, the only way to know if you are a good candidate for Invisalign is to schedule an initial consultation with one of our orthodontists.
The most suitable candidates for Invisalign are teens and adults who have healthy teeth and gum tissue. In order to ensure good results with Invisalign, the patient must follow their treatment plan appropriately at home and be responsible for wearing and maintaining their aligners.
Our team is here to answer any questions you may have and help determine if Invisalign is the best treatment for you, your teen, or your child. Contact us today to learn more about this innovative treatment!
