Invisalign is an advanced orthodontic system that uses a series of custom-made, virtually invisible aligners to gradually shift your teeth into their ideal positions. These clear aligners are made from SmartTrack®, a comfortable, BPA-free plastic material specifically developed for Invisalign treatment.
Unlike traditional metal braces with brackets and wires, Invisalign aligners are:
Each set of aligners in your series makes precise adjustments to tooth position according to your personalized treatment plan. You’ll change to a new set of aligners approximately every 1-2 weeks, progressively moving your teeth toward their final, beautiful alignment.
Invisalign uses a series of clear, custom-made aligners to gradually shift your teeth into their optimal positions. These nearly invisible trays are created from smooth, BPA-free plastic that fits snugly over your teeth without the irritation often caused by metal brackets and wires that come with traditional braces. The treatment process begins with digital scanning of your teeth, allowing us to create a precise 3D model of your current smile. Using specialized software, we map out the exact movements needed to achieve your desired results. This technology even allows you to preview your new smile before treatment begins.
Based on this customized treatment plan, a series of aligners is fabricated specifically for you. Each set is worn for approximately one to two weeks before progressing to the next in the sequence. As you advance through the aligners, your teeth gradually move toward their final, aligned positions to achieve your desired smile results!
The most obvious benefit of Invisalign is aesthetic—the aligners are virtually invisible, allowing you to straighten your teeth without drawing attention to your orthodontic treatment. This makes Invisalign particularly popular among:
Many patients report that friends and colleagues don’t even notice they’re wearing their aligners.
For years, achieving straighter teeth required enduring traditional braces, widely considered uncomfortable by most patients. However, Invisalign clear aligners have changed what it means to straighten your smile!
Some of the advantages of choosing Invisalign as your path to a straighter smile are as follows:
The most obvious benefit of Invisalign is its discreet appearance. The clear aligners are virtually undetectable during everyday interactions, allowing you to straighten your teeth without drawing unwanted attention to your orthodontic treatment.
Unlike fixed braces, Invisalign aligners are removable. This means you can do the following with ease:
For best results, aligners should be worn 22 hours daily, only removing them for eating, drinking anything besides water, and your oral hygiene routine.
The smooth plastic construction of Invisalign aligners eliminates the discomfort often associated with traditional braces. There are no metal components to irritate your cheeks and gums, and no wires that may break or poke sensitive oral tissues.
The advanced planning technology behind Invisalign allows for more predictable outcomes. You’ll know what to expect at each stage of treatment, and we can make adjustments if needed to ensure your results match your expectations.
Invisalign offers significant comfort advantages over traditional braces:
The smooth plastic aligners are custom-designed to fit your teeth precisely, providing a comfortable experience throughout your treatment.
Beyond the aesthetic improvements, Invisalign can provide important health benefits:
Investing in Invisalign isn’t just about achieving a beautiful smile—it’s about improving your overall oral health for years to come.
Invisalign can effectively address many common orthodontic issues. Some of these issues include the following:
Invisalign technology has advanced significantly and can now address most orthodontic concerns, including:
When there’s not enough room in your jaw for all your teeth to fit normally, they can bunch up, overlap, and twist. This not only affects appearance but makes proper cleaning difficult, increasing risk of decay and gum disease.
Spaces between teeth can trap food particles and increase risk of gum problems. Invisalign can close these gaps for both aesthetic and health benefits.
When upper teeth significantly overlap lower teeth, it can lead to excessive wear, jaw pain, and even damaged front teeth. Invisalign can help correct this relationship between upper and lower teeth.
When lower teeth protrude past upper teeth, it can cause difficulty chewing and speaking, uneven wear on teeth, and facial imbalance. Invisalign can help address mild to moderate underbites.
When some upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth rather than outside, it can lead to worn teeth, gum recession, and asymmetrical jaw growth. Invisalign can correct many crossbite cases.
When some teeth don’t make contact with opposing teeth, it can cause chewing difficulties and may lead to speech impediments like lisping. Invisalign can help close this gap in many cases.
