Want straighter teeth without metal brackets and wires? Invisalign clear aligners offer a modern approach to teeth straightening that fits your active lifestyle.
How is Invisalign Different?
Invisalign straightens teeth as effectively as traditional braces, but with significant advantages:
- Virtually invisible clear plastic aligners
- Removable for eating, brushing, and flossing
- No food restrictions like with braces
- Comfortable smooth plastic instead of poking wires
- Fewer office visits than traditional orthodontics
How Does Invisalign Work?
Treatment begins with a consultation to determine if you're a good candidate. Then:
- We take X-rays and impressions of your teeth
- A 3D image maps out your treatment plan
- You see a virtual preview of your final results
- Custom aligners are made specifically for you
- You wear each set for about two weeks
- Check-ups every six weeks monitor progress
For best results, wear your aligners 20-22 hours per day.
What Can Invisalign Correct?
Invisalign effectively treats:
- Gaps between teeth
- Crowded teeth
- Overbite and underbite
- Crossbite
- General crookedness
How Long Does Treatment Take?
- Adults: Usually about one year
- Teens: Comparable to traditional braces
- Individual results vary based on your specific needs
Special Occasions and Sports
Since aligners are removable:
- Take them out for special events
- Replace with a mouth guard for contact sports
- No worry about brackets cutting your mouth during activities
