Invisalign
Invisalign® consists of a series of computer generated clear retainers (aligners) that fit over the biting surfaces of teeth. Invisalign® treatment utilizes a series of aligners that are used to straighten teeth and each aligner is worn for a two week period of time.
What to expect?
Invisalign® aligners are clear and extremely less noticeable than traditional bracket and wire braces. The aligners should fit over your teeth and apply pressure to move your teeth a little at a time. Every several weeks the aligners will need to be changed to fit the new tooth configuration.

Planning

Consultation
First, we will discuss your needs and evaluate whether Invisalign® treatment is right for you. A devise an initial treatment plan will map the exact movements of your teeth and how long your treatment will be.

Digital Scanning System
3-D digital images are taken of the entire jaw. These images allow the dentist to move specific teeth on the screen, view the jaw from different angles, and also foresee what the face might look like in years to come.
How to take care of Invisalign aligners:The best way to clean your aligners is to use the Invisalign Cleaning system. As a secondary method your aligners can also be cleaned by brushing them and rinsing them in warm water.
When to Visit your Doctor? Your doctor will schedule regular appointments, usually about once every four to six weeks. The goal of these visits is to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned.
Pricing Options: Invisalign treatment is covered by many dental insurance policies. And many doctors can offer flexible and affordable monthly payment plans as well.

Process and Prevention
What are the primary benefits of Invisalign?
Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible. No one may even notice that you’re wearing them, making Invisalign a seamless fit with your lifestyle. Invisalign aligners are removable. For the best results and a timely outcome, aligners should be worn for 20 to 22 hours per day. However, unlike with braces, you have the flexibility to remove your aligners to eat and drink what you want during treatment. And you can also remove the aligners to brush and floss as you normally would, for fresh breath and good oral hygiene.
Overcrowding
When there is too little space for the teeth to align normally in the mouth. Eventually it can cause tooth decay and increase the likelihood of gum disease.
Teeth Gaps
This can sometimes occur because teeth are missing or because the jaw continues to grow abnormally.
Comfort
The irritation of brackets and wires on adjacent soft tissue of the mouth can be painful and require use of orthodontic wax and palliative rinses. Invisalign aligners are smooth and do not irritate the soft tissue of the mouth.
Appearance
Invisalign aligners are clear and extremely less noticeable than traditional bracket and wire braces.
