In the past, the only method to straighten teeth involved uncomfortable, unattractive metal braces. We offer a revolutionary alternative to traditional orthodontics. Invisalign clear braces involve a series of comfortable, invisible trays custom designed to move teeth into their ideal arrangement. Adults with crowded or unevenly spaced teeth, as well as bite issues, such as overbites, underbites, and crossbites can correct these issues with Invisalign.
How It Works
First, our dentist will examine your teeth to determine if Invisalign will work for you. Most adults are candidates for Invisalign. Next, he’ll take photographs and impressions of your teeth to send to the Invisalign laboratory where your custom trays will be created. Invisalign software allows you to preview the proposed outcome of your smile before you begin treatment. In a few weeks, you can begin wearing the aligners and experiencing all the benefits of a straighter smile.
How Long It Takes
Every patient completes treatment in a different timeframe. For optimal results, you should wear the trays approximately 22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, brush, and floss. Switch out your aligners about every two weeks, and visit our office at six-week intervals for progress reports. Many patients achieve the desired result in 12 to 18 months, which is half the time of traditional braces.
