An Invisalign treatment is a new technology that helps straighten your teeth with a series of nearly invisible, removable aligners.
To get started, your doctor will take x-rays, photographs and impressions of your teeth. Next, a digital 3-D image is created. A precise treatment plan is established. Using this technology, your doctor will even be able to show you the series of movements your teeth will go through with each stage of treatment. A series of custom-made, clear aligners is then made specifically for you.
Invisalign aligners are worn for about two weeks and then replaced with a new set. The aligners are manufactured on an individual basis to fit your teeth. As you wear each set of aligners, your teeth gradually begin to move until they have straightened into final position.
Invisalign is the most comfortable way to change your smile. The benefits of Invisalign over traditional metal braces include:
More than just straightening your teeth, it works to correct more serious issues associated with the teeth or jaw. Properly aligned teeth can alleviate the issues such as improper cleaning of teeth, tooth decay and gum disease that can be caused by crooked teeth or jaw problems. If left untreated, many orthodontic problems such as crooked or protruding teeth can cause speech or chewing difficulties, jaw problems, and abnormal wear of tooth surfaces.
Invisalign technology can give you straighter teeth and restore the natural functionality and beauty of your teeth.
