Invisalign: Your Virtually Invisible Path to a Confident Smile
Are you dreaming of a straighter, more confident smile but hesitant about traditional metal braces? Invisalign offers a revolutionary, virtually invisible way to correct orthodontic issues and achieve the smile you've always wanted, without the wires and brackets.
Invisalign treatment uses a series of custom-made, clear plastic aligners that gradually and gently shift your teeth into their desired position. Designed for comfort and discretion, it's the modern solution for effective teeth straightening.
Key Features & Benefits:
- Virtually Invisible: Crafted from a patented, clear SmartTrack® material, Invisalign aligners are almost imperceptible. Most people won't even notice you're wearing them, allowing you to straighten your teeth discreetly and maintain your natural appearance.
- Unmatched Comfort: Unlike traditional braces with their wires and brackets, Invisalign aligners are smooth, custom-trimmed to your gum line, and designed to minimize irritation to your cheeks and gums. No poking wires or sharp edges!
- Removable Freedom: Enjoy the flexibility to remove your aligners for eating, drinking, brushing, flossing, or even for special occasions. This means no food restrictions, and maintaining optimal oral hygiene is as easy as ever.
- Predictable & Proven Results: Powered by advanced 3D imaging technology, your orthodontist will map out your entire treatment plan from start to finish using ClinCheck® software. You can even visualize your new smile before you begin, ensuring precise and effective tooth movement.
- Advanced SmartTrack® Material: This innovative, flexible material delivers more comfortable and precise tooth movements, making your treatment more efficient and generally faster than traditional methods.
- Fewer & Shorter Office Visits: With Invisalign, you typically need fewer and shorter check-ups compared to traditional braces, fitting seamlessly into your busy schedule.
- Boosted Confidence: As your teeth gradually straighten, you'll gain increasing confidence in your smile throughout the treatment process and long after.
How Invisalign Works:
- Your Initial Consultation: A certified Invisalign provider will assess your needs, take precise 3D digital scans of your teeth using an iTero® Element™ scanner, and discuss your desired smile goals. X-rays and photos may also be taken.
- Custom Treatment Plan: Using the advanced ClinCheck® software, your orthodontist will create a precise, customized treatment plan. This allows you to see a virtual representation of how your teeth will move week by week and what your final smile will look like before treatment even begins.
- Receive Your Aligners: Once your custom aligners are fabricated, you'll receive a series of sets. You'll wear each set for 1-2 weeks (as advised by your doctor), removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss.
- Progress & New Sets: As you advance through each new set of aligners, your teeth will gradually and gently shift into their desired positions according to your personalized plan. You'll have periodic check-ups with your provider to monitor progress.
- Reveal Your New Smile: Once your treatment is complete, you'll receive a Vivera® retainer to wear, which helps maintain your beautiful new smile and prevent teeth from shifting back.
