Invisalign®
Invisalign is the clear alternative to metal braces. Unlike traditional metal braces, which can be a painful and time-consuming treatment option, Invisalign is comfortable, removable, and invisible. They can be a great solution for teens and adults alike who are looking to straighten their teeth for orthodontic or cosmetic purposes. The convenience and ease of use of the Invisalign system have made it the clear choice of over 20 million people worldwide. In fact, Invisalign has been effective in giving millions of people in the United States amazing new smiles.
How does Invisalign work?
Invisalign uses a series of virtually invisible aligners that are custom-molded to gradually reposition your teeth into a smile you’ll be proud of. Generally, aligners are changed every two weeks until the end result is achieved. Invisalign offers comfort, convenience, and virtual invisibility during treatment so getting an incredible smile doesn’t have to disrupt your lifestyle.
Invisalign treatment usually lasts 6-12 months, depending upon the amount of movement needed to straighten your teeth.
Benefits of Invisalign
With Invisalign, you can:
- Remove your aligners to eat, brush, and floss
- Spend less time getting adjustments
- Usually get results in 6 months to 1 year
- Be as active as you like – Invisalign doesn’t get in the way
- Feel more confident everywhere you go
With Invisalign, there are no metal wires or bands to irritate your mouth. And, because you take out the aligners before you eat, there are no food restrictions. Best of all, most people won’t notice you’re in treatment. Invisalign is effective for a wide range of smiles, including overly crowded teeth, widely spaced teeth, overbites, underbites, and crossbites.
