Invisalign®
FDA approved Invisalign is the “invisible” way
to straighten your teeth without wearing conventional metal
braces. Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable custom-made
aligners to move your teeth. Because you remove your aligners
before you eat and drink, there are no food restrictions
or problems with flossing or brushing. This technology is
also more comfortable, avoiding the mouth abrasions that
can be caused by the metal and wires of conventional braces.
And this technology is also more convenient, since you are
likely to spend less time in the doctor’s office getting
adjustments.
Invisalign uses 3-D computer imaging technology to design
the complete treatment plan, from the initial teeth positioning
to the desired final positioning. This 3-D imaging allows
you to preview the final positioning of your teeth before
you start treatment. Custom-made aligners are created based
on the imaging information. Each of these aligners moves
teeth incrementally and is worn for about 2 weeks. Typically,
you will visit your dentist once every 6 weeks for “progress
reports.” Not every situation can be treated with Invisalign,
so call the office to get an evaluation to see if you can
be helped with this new technology.
