Why Choose Invisalign®?

Invisalign® is a cutting-edge orthodontic treatment that provides a discreet and comfortable alternative to conventional “bracket and wire” orthodontics.
Some advantages of choosing Invisalign® are:

  • Unlike conventional braces, aligners are nearly invisible when worn.
  • Aligners are easy to use and require little maintenance. Conventional braces often have brackets and wires that come loose during treatment, necessitating additional dental visits to correct these unexpected problems.
  • Unlike conventional braces, aligners allow for normal brushing and flossing of the teeth since they can be easily removed regularly for this purpose.
  • Aligners are comfortable to wear and typically eliminate the need for wires or brackets that can abrade the lips and cheeks.
  • Since aligners are replaced about every two weeks, this equates to “adjustments” being made almost twice as often as they are typically made with conventional braces. These more frequent adjustments often result in shorter treatment periods when Invisalign® is used as the primary orthodontic method.

How Invisalign® Works

The Invisalign® treatment process begins with a comprehensive consultation, during which our experienced dental team assesses your dental structure and creates a personalized treatment plan. Utilizing advanced 3D imaging technology, we design a series of custom aligners that gradually shift your teeth into the desired position. You will receive a new set of aligners approximately every two weeks, each one designed to continue the alignment process until your ideal smile is achieved.

Invisalign® effectively addresses various dental concerns, including:

  • Overcrowded Teeth: Invisalign® helps create the necessary space for crowded teeth, allowing them to align properly.
  • Gaps Between Teeth: Invisalign® can close the gaps between teeth, resulting in a more uniform and aesthetically pleasing smile.
  • Bite Issues: Invisalign® can address common bite issues, such as overbites, underbites, and crossbites, to improve overall oral health and function.

Cleaning Your Invisalign® Aligners

Maintaining proper oral hygiene and cleaning your Invisalign® aligners is crucial for the success of your treatment. To keep your aligners clean and clear, follow these simple steps:

  1. Gently brush your aligners with a soft-bristled toothbrush and rinse them with lukewarm water to prevent the buildup of bacteria.
  2. Avoid using hot water when cleaning your aligners, as it can distort their shape.
  3. Soak your aligners regularly in a denture cleaner or the recommended Invisalign® cleaning crystals to ensure thorough disinfection.
