Orthodontists have been correcting misalignment for decades. The problem with the standard of care provided with conventional orthodontics is that humans have evolved to a point of desiring a more discreet treatment option. Over time, braces have also changed. Brackets have become smaller and many types are tooth-colored. Still, braces are obvious in the smile.

The Invisalign difference

Invisalign is a system of orthodontics that has been designed to meet patients' need for discretion and comfort. Made of clear, durable plastic, the Invisalign aligners worn throughout treatment are barely perceptible. Virtually invisible in the smile, aligners are also removable, bringing even more advantages to patients.

How can aligners straighten teeth?

Braces, though unappealing for a number of reasons, are proven to straighten teeth. How is it possible that a removable aligner tray can move teeth into proper positioning? While aligners have some give, and are slightly flexible, they apply firm, consistent pressure to the right teeth at the right time. Each patient benefits from a treatment plan designed around his or her specific needs. The process begins with a thorough examination and imaging from which a precise model of teeth and the jaw is made. This model is used in the Invisalign lab to plan the gradual movement of teeth in two-week increments. The entire plan is made into a movie that we are able to share with the patient before aligners are made.

Invisalign aligners come to our office as a series of sets. Each set is worn for a period of two weeks. Aligners are removed for meals and for brushing and flossing. They can also be removed for short periods when the patient wants an all-natural appearance, such as a special occasion. In order to achieve the best results in the estimated treatment time, it is important that aligners be worn about 22 hours each day.
