Invisalign
Clear aligners are made of clear, strong medical grade plastic that is virtually invisible when worn. Aligners are clear and look similar to tooth-whitening trays, but are custom-made to fit better while moving teeth. Some orthodontists and dentists have referred to them as “contact lenses for teeth.”
For years, orthodontists and dentists have used removable appliances for limited treatment. Today, with the application of computer technology and custom manufacturing, Invisalign® treats a broader range of cases with greater precision.
Invisible braces use 3D computer imaging technology to depict the complete treatment plan, from the initial position to the final desired position, from which a series of custom-made clear “aligners” are produced. Each “aligner” moves teeth incrementally and is worn for about two weeks, then is replaced by the next in the series until the final position is achieved.
Clear, Removable, And Comfortable
With invisible braces, you can straighten your teeth without anyone knowing. Unlike with braces, you can eat and drink what you want during treatment, because you can remove the trays. You can also brush and floss normally to maintain good oral hygiene. Because there are no metal brackets or wires to cause mouth irritation, you spend less time in the doctor’s chair getting adjustments.
Invisible braces allow you to view your own virtual treatment plan before you start so you can see how your straight teeth will look when your treatment is complete.
