Invisalign ® is a new orthodontic treatment system that works to straighten teeth through the use of a series of clear plastic molds (aligners).
The Invisalign® "System eliminates the need for metal braces in most cases.
One of the most important benefits of the Invisalign System is that no one can tell that you are wearing the thin clear aligners.
Traditional metal braces are thicker than an aligner. This may alter your speech to some degree. The aligners are thin and smooth, allowing you to speak clearly.
Because you remove your aligners before you eat and drink, there are no food restrictions or problems with flossing or brushing. Attendiing a special event? No problem, just remove your aligners until you return home if you choose.
Invisalign aligners are gentle to your gum tissue. Unlike metal brackets and wires, there are no sharp edges or corners to irritate the gums or cheeks. Cleaning your teeth and gums is easier both at home and in the dental office since you can remove the aligners.
An Effective Method of Straightening Your Teeth.Although there are some limitations of Invisalign treatment compared to traditional braces, Invisalign can treat many orthodontic conditions. In most cases, the treatment time is comparable.
The Invisalign system is the virtually invisible way to straighten your teeth and achieve the dazzling smile you've always dreamed of!
You wear each set of aligners for about 2 weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss.
As you replace each Invisalign 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 that has prescribed.
You'll visit your the dental office approximately once every 6 weeks to ensure that your Invisalign aligner treatment is progressing as planned.
Total treatment time averages 9-15 months and the average number of Invisalign aligners worn during treatment can vary between 10 and 30, but this will vary from case to case.
Step one is to call for your COMPLIMENTARY CONSULTATION to answer any questions you may have. Should you decide to persue Invisalign treatment, the First Step is to take impressions of your teeth and some photographs needed to submit your case to the Invisalign Laboratory for analysis.
Step Two involves the design of your aligners. All of your aligners are made at one time. Invisalign uses advanced 3-D computer imaging technology to transform your impressions into custom-made series of clear aligners. A 3-D movie is created showing each stage of treatment and for each aligner.

Step Three is to begin wearing your aligners sequentially until your teeth are straightened and you have the smile you've always dreamed of!
