What Are the Benefits of Invisalign®?
Invisalign® treatment can be unique to you: This means that aligners are custom-made for your teeth to fit snugly over your smile, engineered to exert just the right amount of pressure in the right place at the right time.
Invisalign® can shift your teeth slightly and less painfully: Invisalign® works with graduated changes to another set of aligners, which typically occurs on a weekly basis. This means that each misaligned tooth moves steadily and gradually toward its ultimate position as determined by a customized treatment plan mapped out just for you. Each set of aligners moves the teeth both horizontally and vertically into place, and it may even be possible to rotate them with this approach.
Invisalign® can provide quality results: The bottom line is that we know that Invisalign® works and that it can be effective in a wide variety of cases. Moving teeth into their desired places should not be done in one hard squeeze with one set of braces tightened into position. Using multiple sets of aligners on a progressive basis, as is the case with Invisalign®, means changing pressures as needed with additional applications through sets of aligners.

Am I a Candidate for Invisalign®?
Invisalign®, a popular cosmetic dentistry treatment, may be a good option for teens and adults with mild to moderate orthodontic concerns who want a more discreet alternative to traditional braces. Ideal candidates often have issues such as crowded teeth, gaps, overbites, underbites, or crossbites. Patients should have generally healthy teeth and gums, as untreated decay or gum disease may need to be addressed first. Since Invisalign® requires wearing clear aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day, candidates must be committed to following treatment guidelines. It may also be a great choice for individuals who prefer a removable appliance that allows for easier eating, brushing, and flossing compared to fixed braces.
What Does the Invisalign® Process Involve?
The Invisalign® process generally begins with a consultation, during which time one of our dentists can evaluate your smile and determine if clear aligners are right for you. Digital impressions or scans of your teeth are then taken to create a customized treatment plan that maps out each stage of tooth movement. A series of clear, removable aligners will then be fabricated specifically for your smile.
You will typically wear each set of aligners for about one to two weeks, gradually shifting your teeth into proper alignment. Regular check-ins with our team allow us to monitor your progress and ensure everything stays on track. Once treatment is complete, a retainer is usually recommended to maintain your newly straightened smile.
