Invisalign
There are many options today for straightening your teeth, but few can offer the comfort, convenience, and confidence you can enjoy with Invisalign®. Enjoy the confidence and comfort without the embarrassment and irritation of metal braces in your mouth. There are no brackets to darken your smile, no irritated lips or cheeks, no wires to tighten, and no worries about mouth injury while playing sports.
How does Invisalign work?
Invisalign® takes a modern approach to straightening teeth, using a custom-made series of aligners created for you. They are made of smooth, comfortable, and virtually invisible plastic that you wear over your teeth. Wearing the aligners will gradually and gently shift your teeth into place, based on the exact movements your dentist or orthodontist plans out for you.
Invisalign can eliminate crowding or large spaces between your teeth. Even complex cases such as overbites, underbites, and crossbites can be treated. Typically, Invisalign cases take about a year from start to finish. Invisalign is a very cost-effective alternative to braces; in fact, the average cost of Invisalign is very affordable for most patients. You will see your dentist every 6-8 weeks to review your progress, and receive additional retainers every few visits. Treatment time and the number of retainers you receive will vary case by case.
Many people ask, “Does Invisalign really work?” It sure does. Invisalign patients can expect to see results just as effective as those who opt for standard metal braces along with a better sense of comfort as your teeth align. Invisalign is great for teens and adults who need a way to straighten their teeth without the irritation and maintenance associated with metal braces.
