What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a cutting-edge orthodontic treatment that utilizes clear, custom-made aligners to correct a variety of dental issues. These aligners are crafted from advanced, BPA-free plastic and are nearly invisible when worn. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are removable, giving you the flexibility to eat, drink, and care for your teeth with ease

Signs You Might Need Invisalign

Invisalign can address a range of dental concerns, including:
  • Crowded Teeth: Difficulty cleaning teeth due to overcrowding.
  • Gaps Between Teeth: Excess spacing that impacts your smile and bite.
  • Overbite: Upper teeth extend too far over lower teeth.
  • Underbite: Lower teeth protrude beyond the upper teeth.
  • Crossbite: Misaligned teeth causing some upper teeth to sit inside the lower teeth.
  • Open Bite: A gap between upper and lower teeth when biting down.

The Invisalign Process

  1. Initial Consultation: Your Invisalign journey begins with a consultation where we’ll evaluate your teeth and discuss your goals. Using advanced 3D imaging, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan.
  2. Customized Aligners: Using digital impressions, we’ll design your aligners to fit your teeth perfectly. Each aligner is crafted to apply gentle pressure, gradually moving your teeth into their ideal positions.
  3. Wearing the Aligners: You’ll wear each set of aligners for 1-2 weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, and clean your teeth. For optimal results, wear them for 20-22 hours per day.
  4. Regular Check-Ins: We’ll schedule periodic visits to monitor your progress and make adjustments as needed. These appointments are quick and hassle-free.
  5. Final Results: Once your treatment is complete, we’ll provide retainers to help maintain your beautifully aligned smile for years to come.
