Invisalign®
FDA approved Invisalign is the “invisible”
way to straighten your teeth without
wearing conventional metal braces.
custom-made aligners to move your teeth.
Because you remove your aligners before
you eat and drink, there are no food
restrictions or problems with flossing or
brushing. This technology is also more
comfortable, avoiding the mouth abrasions
that can be caused by the metal and wires
of conventional braces. And this
technology is also more convenient, since
you are likely to spend less time in the
doctor’s office getting adjustments.
Invisalign uses 3-D computer imaging technology to design the
complete treatment plan, from the initial teeth positioning to the desired
final positioning. This 3-D imaging allows you to preview the final
positioning of your teeth before you start treatment.
Custom-made aligners are created based on the imaging information.
Each of these aligners moves teeth incrementally and is worn for about
2 weeks. Typically, you will visit your dentist once every 6 weeks for
“progress reports.” Not every situation can be treated with Invisalign,
so call the office to get an evaluation to see if you can be helped with
this new technology.
