With aligners that are practically invisible, only you will know that you're undergoing orthodontic care!
Invisalign® utilizes 3-D computer imaging technology to correct problematic bites or malocclusions by planning a complete sequence of custom-made clear aligners. This series of clear aligners incrementally move the teeth into place until the final desired corrections are reached.
The Benefits of Invisalign: A Modern Solution for a Straighter Smile
When it comes to orthodontic treatments, Invisalign has quickly become one of the most popular options for those seeking a straighter smile. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign offers a more discreet and comfortable way to correct misaligned teeth. Patients who choose Invisalign benefit from clear aligners that are virtually invisible, making it easier to maintain a professional or casual appearance during treatment. Whether you're an adult or a teenager, Invisalign allows you to straighten your teeth without the noticeable look of metal braces.
Comfort and Convenience
One of the key advantages of Invisalign is its comfort and convenience. The custom-made aligners are crafted from smooth, BPA-free plastic, designed to fit snugly over your teeth without causing irritation to the gums or cheeks. Unlike braces, there are no metal brackets or wires to worry about, which means less risk of cuts or sores inside your mouth. Additionally, Invisalign aligners are removable, allowing you to eat your favorite foods, brush, and floss with ease, making oral hygiene during orthodontic treatment much simpler.
Flexibility for Your Lifestyle
Invisalign also offers flexibility that traditional braces cannot match. Because the aligners can be removed for short periods, patients have the freedom to take them out for special occasions or important meetings. This temporary removal can be a significant confidence booster, especially for individuals who may feel self-conscious about wearing orthodontic appliances in public. Just be sure to wear the aligners for the recommended 20-22 hours a day to achieve optimal results.
Advanced Technology for Precise Results
Another major benefit of Invisalign is that it uses advanced technology to plan and monitor the progress of your treatment. Before you even begin, your dentist or orthodontist will use 3D imaging software to map out your treatment journey, allowing you to see a virtual preview of how your teeth will move over time. This level of precision ensures that your treatment is customized to your unique needs, providing predictable results and often reducing the overall duration of treatment compared to traditional braces.
Improved Oral Health with Invisalign
In terms of dental health, Invisalign can also help improve not only the appearance of your smile but the function of your teeth. Misaligned teeth can cause issues with chewing, lead to excessive wear on certain teeth, and increase the risk of gum disease due to difficulty in cleaning between crowded or crooked teeth. By correcting these alignment issues with Invisalign, patients can experience better oral health, as well as a more aesthetically pleasing smile.
A Modern Solution for Your Smile
Choosing Invisalign as your orthodontic solution offers numerous benefits, from its discreet appearance to its comfort and flexibility. Whether you're looking to correct a minor misalignment or a more complex issue, Invisalign provides a modern, effective, and patient-friendly way to achieve the smile you've always wanted. Reach out to your dentist today to see if Invisalign is the right fit for you!

There are many options for patients who want to avoid metal braces! The most popular alternative orthodontic treatment is Invisalign®, which are clear plastic aligners designed to straighten teeth. After an examination of your teeth, your dentist will determine which option is best suited to your wants and needs.
According to the Invisalign® website, the cost for treatment is approximately the same as the cost for metal braces. A portion of this cost may be covered by your insurance. Please call us to set up a consultation and discuss potential payment plan options.
The first step is to schedule a consultation with your doctor, so they can devise a treatment plan that is best suited to your individual dental needs. Once approved, you will receive your first set of aligners. Your doctor will then regularly monitor the movement of your teeth and new aligners will be ordered according to the progress made in your treatment plan.
Invisalign® aligners are made of clear, flexible plastic. The company received a patent for this material – SmartTrack® – to be used exclusively for Invisalign treatment purposes. These aligners are FDA approved and nearly invisible!
Your doctor will give you an estimate regarding how long your Invisalign® treatment should take, which will depend on your specific needs. The average length of time for treatment is approximately 12-18 months. However, some patients may see results far sooner. Remember to wear your aligners exactly as instructed by your doctor to obtain the best results.
