Invisalign® is the invisible way to straighten your teeth without braces.
Invisalign®
uses a series of clear removable aligners (pictured to the left) to straighten your teeth without metal wires or brackets.
Invisalign® has been proven effective in clinical research and in orthodontic practices nationwide. In
fact, over 70% of all U.S. orthodontists are certified to treat patients with Invisalign®.
How
Does Invisalign® Work?
You
wear each set of aligners for about 2 weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss.
As you
replace each aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will move - little by little, week by week - until they have
straightened to the final position your orthodontist or dentist has prescribed.
You'll visit your orthodontist
or dentist about once every 6 weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned.
Total
treatment time averages 9-15 months and the average number of aligners worn during treatment is between 18 and 30, but both
will vary from case to case.
How Are Aligners Made?
You'd Be Amazed...
The aligners are made
through a combination of your orthodontist's or dentist's expertise and 3-D computer imaging technology.
