Invisalign
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment for straightening teeth that is an alternative to metal braces. The transparent aligners patients wear with Invisalign are much less noticeable than metal braces, which is why Invisalign is a popular choice among patients.
How Does Invisalign Work?
After undergoing preparation steps including digital scans of your teeth, you will receive a series of clear aligners made specifically for you. Depending on the complexity of your case, you will move to the next aligner in the series every week or two to produce the desired effect. Each aligner progressively moves the teeth into position, leaving you with a straight smile at the end of treatment.
You must participate in regular check-in appointments during Invisalign treatment to ensure your teeth move as projected. We may have to extend the time you wear each aligner tray if your teeth move slower than anticipated. Following your first series of trays, we will determine if you require a series of refining trays to leave you with the best possible result.
