Invisalign treatment is a system of clear aligners that can help give you a straighter smile without the hassle often associated with traditional braces. Our dentist can custom design these aligners to fit your teeth, and they are practically invisible on your teeth, which is why many teens and adults choose this treatment when they do not want the appearance of metal braces hindering their smile.
Invisalign can help correct a range of orthodontic issues, including:
- Crowded teeth
- Gaps in teeth
- Overbite
- Underbite
- Crossbite
The Invisalign system has many benefits for both orthodontic care and lifestyle. Unlike traditional braces, the aligners can be easily removed, allowing for better oral hygiene and the ability to eat and drink whatever you want. The aligners are also comfortable to wear and do not cause the discomfort and irritation often associated with metal braces.
When you visit our dentist for your Invisalign treatment, we will first offer a consultation to scan your teeth and determine your treatment path. The actual treatment process involves a series of custom-made aligners that will be worn for approximately two weeks each. Each aligner will gently guide your teeth, moving them toward their desired position, until the final result is achieved. The treatment time can vary depending on your unique needs, but most patients see results within six to 12 months.
