Invisible
Braces
Invisalign is the invisible way
to straighten your teeth without wearing conventional metal
braces. Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable
custom-made aligners to move your teeth. Because you
remove the aligners before you eat and drink, there are no
food restrictions or problems with flossing and brushing.
This technology is also more comfortable, avoiding the
mouth abrasions that can be caused by the metal and wires
of conventional braces. And, this technology is also
more convenient, since you are likely to spend less time
in our office getting adjustments.
Once we
develop a custom prescription for your mouth, Invisalign
uses 3-D computer imaging technology to design the complete
treatment plan, from the initial teeth positioning to
the desired final positioning. This 3-D
imaging allows you to preview the final positioning of your
teeth before you start treatment. Custom made aligners
are created based on the imaging information. Each of
these aligners moves the teeth incrementally and is worn for
about 2 weeks. Not every situation can be treated with
Invisalign, so call or e-mail us
for a free evaluation to see if you can be helped with this
technology. Click
