The Invisalign Advantage

Invisalign works with your lifestyle. In addition to being virtually invisible, they’re also removable. You can easily take your aligners out when needed and put them back in when you’re ready. Invisalign aligners are soft and flexible, offering a more comfortable way to improve your smile. Since the aligners are so comfortable, you can easily wear them for the recommended 20 to 22 hours a day. While traditional braces make brushing and flossing a lengthy and sometimes inconvenient process, with Invisalign you can continue eating, brushing, and flossing as you normally do.

Invisalign Treatment

After a digital scan of your teeth, an Invisalign treatment plan can be recommended. This computerized model displays a digital simulation of exactly how your teeth will move into their adjusted alignment.

Patients wear each set of aligners for approximately two weeks. The aligners can be removed to eat, drink, floss, and brush your teeth. With a series of aligners, each will slowly move the teeth closer to adjustment until they have straightened to their final positions, and the Invisalign doctor is satisfied with the outcome.

The time for a total treatment is usually nine to fifteen months. The total number of aligners will vary from patient to patient.

How Invisalign Works

 

Invisalign is a great option for young and adult patients with both minor and complex positioning requirements. The aligners are practically invisible and custom-made to snugly fit your teeth. They are made of a proprietary, multilayer SmartTrack® material that gently and effectively moves your teeth into proper alignment. Each aligner gradually shifts your teeth horizontally, vertically, and rotates them when needed. Your aligners will be custom engineered to steadily move your teeth with precision until you have the confident smile you’ve always wanted.

Your Custom Treatment Plan

 

Invisalign makes your pursuit to well-aligned teeth easy. When you’re going through treatment, you only need to visit the doctor approximately every six weeks. Your doctor will create precise, 3D digital images of your teeth to have your custom aligners made. The aligners are periodically replaced (typically every 1-2 weeks) to continue the adjustment process according to a personalized treatment plan outlined by your doctor. Using our advanced technology we can show you how your teeth will move and even give you a preview of your final smile!

Invisalign for Kids

 

Invisalign can be beneficial for kids by resolving tooth spacing problems, teeth crowding, overbites, cross bites, and gapped teeth. They are far more comfortable than traditional braces and make teeth cleaning much easier. Children can eat what they want without worrying about particles of food getting stuck in the wires, between the bands, or between the brackets.

The Benefits of Straight Teeth

 

Once you have fully completed treatment and improved your smile, here’s what else you can expect:

  • There will be fewer places for bacteria to hide in your mouth
  • Your teeth will last much longer due to improved alignment
  • There will be a lower risk of broken teeth due to improved alignment
  • You will likely experience fewer headaches with better aligned teeth
  • You will be happier, healthier, and more confident showing off your beautiful smile

CROOKED AND CROWDED TEETH

Teeth that are crooked or crowded, even with the best of intentions and maximum efforts, can be almost impossible to keep clean and healthy.

When teeth do not fit together properly, function is compromised and can result in premature and excessive tooth wear and chipping. Teeth endure tremendous forces and stresses.

Chewing is more difficult with crooked teeth. Poor jaw alignment makes it more difficult to bite and work food in the mouth.

Crooked teeth can smell even worse than they look, because bad breath can be the result of bacteria that lingers in the mouth when teeth cannot be effectively cleaned.

Crooked or crowded can lead to loss of self-esteem, causing stress, as you resist smiling and showing your teeth, or cover-up your bad breath.

Your overall health can be at risk when oral bacterial infections can potentially cause heart attacks, stroke, pneumonia, and diabetes issues.

Crowding also usually results in teeth becoming rotated and pushed out of alignment, which makes proper brushing/cleaning quite a challenge. Poor alignment results in even higher stresses and greater risks of cracks and wear, and even tooth or jaw pain.

Upper teeth that protrude over lower teeth or the other way around may cause teeth to rub together in a way that affects jaw alignment. Chronic stress headaches, pain in the neck and jaw, and increased clenching can all be caused by misalignment of your teeth.
