Invisalign


Invisible Braces



We recommend invisible braces for our patients, not only because they preserve your natural looks, but because they hurt less than regular metal ones.

The reality is that straightening teeth is not a natural process, so teeth requiring more treatment are going to be sore.  As gentle dentists, we use invisible braces so we can provide you gentle and gradual stepping stones to having a more confident smile.  And you won’t get food stuck in them.

The Plan

Invisible braces, also commonly known as Invisalign, can help straighten and align your teeth in the least invasive or obvious way possible. Invisalign consists of a series of aligners that are switched every two weeks and precisely calculated to gradually shift your teeth into place using a series of small movements. These invisible braces are customized to your mouth and are removable, allowing you to eat, drink, brush, and floss whenever you want. Smooth edges make Invisalign a comfortable choice, and unlike traditional braces, the aligners are virtually invisible.

Clear Results

Best of all, Invisalign provides a straighter smile, which in turn makes flossing and cleaning your teeth easier and more effective. Appropriate for adults as well as younger patients, invisible braces can correct overly crowded teeth, widely spaced teeth, a crossbite, an overbite, or an underbite without the invasiveness of crowns or veneers.

After we determine that invisible braces are the best course of treatment for your individual situation, we’ll work with you to ensure that you get the results you’re seeking. You’ll come away with a straighter, healthier, and more confident smile — with less pain than brackets!

A clear alternative
By using a series of clear removable aligners, Invisalign straightens your teeth right before your eyes. Change them about every two weeks, and your teeth will move—little by little, week by week—until they have moved to the final position your orthodontist or dentist has prescribed. Comfortable to wear, our aligners are also removable so you can eat, drink, brush, and floss as usual.

Less treatment time

A typical Invisalign case takes about a year from start to finish. You’ll see your doctor every month or two to see how you’re progressing. Every few visits, you’ll be given additional aligners to continue your treatment. Commonly, the number of aligners worn during treatment is between 18 and 30, but treatment time and the number of aligners will vary from case to case.

Invisible. And comfortable
Invisalign is a virtually invisible solution. So you won’t draw undue attention to your mouth while in treatment. In fact, virtually no one will know you’re wearing them unless you tell. Comfortable to wear, our aligners are also removable so you can eat, drink, brush, and floss as usual.

Is Invisalign for me?

Invisalign can be used to treat the vast majority of common problems for adults and teens. Whether your smile needs minor improvements or more extensive adjustments, Invisalign can certainly help. It’s successful in treating overly crowded or widely spaced teeth. It can also relieve more complex issues, including overbites, underbites and even crossbites. In fact, an Invisalign Certified Orthodontist or Dentist can use Invisalign clear aligners in all or part of just about any treatment plan.

Look your best during treatment
Invisalign is clear and practically invisible, so nothing gets in the way of your new smile. No wonder Invisalign is the choice of over half a million people.

* Unobtrusive in business meetings or social gatherings
* No metal wires or bands to irritate your mouth
* Most people won’t notice you’re wearing aligners
