Invisalign Clear Aligners: The Clear Path to a Confident Smile

Discover the Power of Invisible Orthodontics

Invisalign is a revolutionary orthodontic treatment that offers a discreet and effective way to straighten your teeth without the need for traditional metal braces. Using a series of custom-made, virtually invisible, removable aligners, Invisalign gradually shifts your teeth into their desired position, giving you the beautiful, confident smile you've always dreamed of.

How Invisalign Works

The Invisalign system leverages advanced 3D computer imaging technology to create a precise, personalized treatment plan.

1. Digital Scan: Your journey begins with a detailed 3D scan of your teeth (often using an iTero scanner) to create a digital model of your mouth.
2. Custom Treatment Plan: Your doctor, in conjunction with Invisalign, uses this model to map out the exact movements of your teeth from their initial position to their final, desired alignment. You can even visualize your future smile before treatment begins!
3. Custom Aligners: A series of unique, clear plastic aligners are custom-manufactured specifically for your teeth and your treatment plan.
4. Gradual Movement: You'll wear each set of aligners for approximately 1-2 weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. As you progress through the series, each aligner gently and gradually shifts your teeth a little further, moving them incrementally towards their final position.
5. Regular Check-ups: You'll have periodic check-ups with your doctor (typically every 6-8 weeks) to monitor your progress and receive your next sets of aligners.

Key Features & Benefits

Virtually Invisible

• Discreet Treatment: Made from a patented, transparent thermoplastic material called SmartTrack®, Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible when worn. Most people won't even notice you're undergoing orthodontic treatment, allowing you to smile confidently throughout your journey.

Removable for Your Convenience

• Eat What You Want: Unlike traditional braces, there are no dietary restrictions. Simply remove your aligners to enjoy all your favorite foods.
• Maintain Oral Hygiene: Easily brush and floss your teeth as usual, promoting better oral health and reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease during treatment.
• Flexibility for Special Occasions: While it's recommended to wear your aligners 20-22 hours a day, you have the option to remove them for short periods for important events or photos.

Comfortable & Gentle

• Smooth Plastic: Made from smooth, comfortable plastic, Invisalign aligners eliminate the irritation, abrasions, and sores often associated with the wires and brackets of traditional braces.
• No Adjustments or Tightening: The gentle, consistent pressure from each aligner moves your teeth gradually, offering a more comfortable experience than the manual adjustments of braces.

Predictable & Effective Results

• Advanced Technology: The SmartTrack material and SmartForce® features (such as small, tooth-colored attachments) deliver precise and predictable tooth movements.
• Visualized Outcome: The ClinCheck® software allows you and your doctor to see a virtual representation of your teeth at every stage of treatment, providing a clear expectation of your final results.
• Treats a Wide Range of Cases: Invisalign can effectively treat a variety of orthodontic issues, from simple to complex.

What Conditions Can Invisalign Treat?

Invisalign is a versatile solution capable of correcting numerous orthodontic issues, including:

• Crowded Teeth: When there isn't enough space for teeth to fit normally.
• Gaps Between Teeth: Excessive space between teeth.
• Overbite: When upper front teeth overlap significantly with the lower front teeth.
• Underbite: When lower teeth protrude past the upper front teeth.
• Crossbite: When some upper teeth bite inside the lower teeth.
• Open Bite: When upper and lower front teeth don't meet when the mouth is closed.
• Misaligned Bites: General misalignment of the upper and lower jaws.

Your Invisalign Treatment Journey

1. Initial Consultation: Meet with an Invisalign-trained doctor to discuss your smile goals and determine if Invisalign is right for you.
2. Custom Treatment Plan: Your doctor will take impressions/scans, photos, and X-rays to create a personalized plan using the ClinCheck® software.
3. Receive Your Aligners: Once your aligners are ready, you'll pick them up and receive instructions on how to wear and care for them.
4. Wear & Change: Wear your aligners diligently (20-22 hours/day) and change them as instructed by your doctor.
5. Progress Checks: Attend periodic appointments to ensure your treatment is progressing as planned.
6. Retain Your Smile: Once your treatment is complete, you'll receive a Vivera® retainer (or similar) to help maintain your beautiful new smile long-term.
