What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a state-of-the-art orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually shift your teeth into their desired position. Each aligner is custom-made to fit snugly over your teeth and is designed to be worn for about two weeks before moving on to the next set in the series.
Benefits of Invisalign
- Discreet Treatment: The clear aligners are virtually invisible, making them an excellent option for adults and teens who prefer a more subtle approach to orthodontics.
- Comfort: Invisalign aligners are made from smooth plastic, reducing irritation often caused by traditional braces.
- Removable: You can easily remove the aligners for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing, allowing for better oral hygiene throughout your treatment.
- Fewer Office Visits: Invisalign typically requires fewer visits to our office compared to traditional braces, as you will receive multiple aligners in advance.
Who Can Benefit from Invisalign?
Invisalign can effectively treat a variety of orthodontic issues, including:
- Crowded Teeth: Teeth that overlap can be straightened for improved alignment.
- Gaps Between Teeth: Invisalign can close spaces between teeth for a more uniform appearance.
- Overbites and Underbites: Correcting bite issues for better functionality and aesthetics.
- Crossbites: Aligning teeth that are misaligned vertically or horizontally.
