We
are pleased to announce Invisalign, an alternative way to
achieving straighter teeth without using braces. Invisalign®
is a patented product, which uses advanced three-dimensional
computer imaging technology to transform an individual’s
bite impressions into clear and removable aligners. Invisalign®
has been proven effective in both clinical research and practices
nationwide.
Whether your teeth are crowded, too far apart or have shifted
since wearing braces, Invisalign® may be the solution
you have been looking for. Because no metal wires and brackets
are used, Invisalign® is both comfortable and aesthetic.
And because it is removable, you can eat, brush and floss
as you would normally do. How do I find out if Invisalign®
is right for me?
After a free initial evaluation with one of our certified
Invisalign® dentists, if Invisalign® is right for
you, a treatment plan will be written. Next, a series of bite
impressions will be taken and submitted to the Invisalign®
laboratory with the doctor’s specific instructions.
Invisalign® technicians will then fabricate a series of
precisely customized aligners. Each set of aligners are worn
for a 2-week period gradually moving your teeth, millimeter
by millimeter until the desired results are achieved. You’ll
need to visit us once every 6 weeks to insure the treatment
is progressing as planned. We recommend wearing the Invisalign®
liners for 24 hours a day except when eating or brushing and
flossing your teeth.
The average treatment takes about 12 months to complete,
although this may vary depending on the severity of an individual’s
case.
