Invisalign® Treatment
Invisalign treatment is a friendly and innovative method to help you achieve your dream smile using advanced 3-D computer imaging technology that creates a detailed plan guiding you from your initial teeth position to the perfect alignment you desire.
This process results in a series of custom-made Aligners, with each one gently shifting your teeth and typically worn for about two weeks before you switch to the next one in the series, continuing until your smile is just right.
Made from clear, durable medical-grade plastic, these Aligners are nearly invisible when worn and fit snugly, similar to clear tooth-whitening trays, but they are specifically designed for effective tooth movement. Many orthodontists and dentists liken them to contact lenses for your teeth, making your journey to a beautiful smile both discreet and comfortable.
How do Invisalign® clear aligners effectively move teeth?
Invisalign® aligners, similar to brackets and archwires, facilitate tooth movement by strategically applying controlled forces. However, what sets Invisalign® apart is its ability to manage not only the force but also the timing of its application. During each phase of treatment, specific teeth are designated to shift, with these movements meticulously outlined in the orthodontic treatment plan tailored for that stage. This approach ensures a highly effective delivery of forces throughout the treatment process.
There are four primary benefits of Invisalign® clear aligners:
1. Invisalign® treatment offers a discreet way to achieve a straighter smile, allowing you to enhance your teeth without drawing attention to the process.
2. With Invisalign® treatment, you have the freedom to remove your aligners, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods and beverages without restriction while also maintaining your regular brushing and flossing routine for optimal oral hygiene.
3. Invisalign® treatment is a comfortable experience as it eliminates metal brackets or wires that can cause mouth irritation and also reduces the time spent in the dentist’s chair for adjustments.
4. With Invisalign® treatment, you can preview your personalized virtual treatment plan before beginning, giving you a glimpse of how your perfectly aligned smile will appear once your treatment is finished.
