Transform Your Smile with Invisalign
How Invisalign Works
Invisalign is a comfortable, convenient way to straighten your teeth without the need for traditional metal braces. Using a series of clear, custom-made aligners, Invisalign gradually shifts your teeth into place, giving you a beautiful, healthy smile.
Initial Consultation
We start by getting to know you and understanding your goals. Using our advanced iTero digital scanner, we create a precise digital impression of your teeth and show you a preview of what your smile will look like after treatment.
Custom Treatment Plan
Every smile is unique, and so is your treatment plan. Using 3D technology, we design a detailed plan that maps out your tooth movements and creates a clear path to your desired smile.
Wear Your Aligners
You’ll wear your aligners for 20-22 hours a day, changing to the next set every 1-2 weeks. They’re nearly invisible, so you can straighten your teeth without affecting your appearance, and they’re removable for easy cleaning and eating.
Achieve Your Dream Smile
Once you’ve completed your treatment, we’ll provide you with a custom retainer to maintain your beautiful smile and ensure that your teeth stay in place.
What Invisalign Treats
Invisalign can address a wide variety of dental concerns, improving both the aesthetics and function of your smile. Here’s what Invisalign can help with:
- Crowded Teeth: Align overlapping teeth to make your smile more even and easier to clean.
- Gaps Between Teeth: Close unwanted spaces for a more uniform, confident smile.
- Bite Issues: Correct overbite, underbite, and crossbite for better function and comfort.
- Misaligned Teeth: Straighten crooked teeth to enhance both the appearance and health of your smile.
The Benefits of Invisalign
Discreet Treatment
Invisalign aligners are clear and virtually invisible, meaning you can straighten your teeth without affecting your appearance or confidence.
Comfortable and Removable
Enjoy your favorite foods and maintain your oral hygiene routine by removing your aligners when necessary. No food restrictions or difficult cleaning routines!
Efficient Results
With advanced technology and precision treatment plans, Invisalign typically achieves results in less time than traditional braces.
Minimal Discomfort
While you may experience mild pressure when changing aligners, it’s usually much less discomfort than the pain associated with traditional braces.
