Invisalign® treatment uses cutting-edge 3-D computer imaging technology to create a treatment plan that guides you from the initial positioning of your teeth to your ideal final alignment, resulting in a series of personalized aligners.

Each aligner is crafted to gently shift your teeth over time and is typically worn for about two weeks before being swapped out for the next in the series, ultimately achieving that perfect smile you’ve always wanted. Made from clear, durable medical-grade plastic, these aligners are so discreet that they blend in seamlessly when worn, resembling traditional clear tooth-whitening trays but specifically designed for optimal teeth movement, with some dental professionals affectionately comparing them to contact lenses for your teeth.

While similar to conventional brackets and archwires, Invisalign® aligners apply carefully controlled forces to guide your teeth, and what sets them apart is their ability to manage both the intensity and timing of these forces. During each stage of the process, only specific teeth are allowed to move, with these movements meticulously calculated according to your customized orthodontic strategy, making it an effective system for delivering force precisely where you need it to attain your dream smile.

How Sedation Dentistry Works

If the thought of a dental visit makes your heart race, sedation dentistry might be exactly what you need to get that crucial care without the usual stress or pain. Maybe you’ve put off appointments for years—just avoiding the chair altogether—yet still dream of a bright, healthy smile.

With sedation dentistry, there’s finally a way around the tension. Through safe methods like oral or IV sedation or even a dose of nitrous oxide, you can stay awake but feel incredibly calm, almost as if you’re in a dream. You’ll be able to chat with your dentist, but the usual unease and pain will feel like a distant memory, changing the entire experience into something far easier to manage.
