A personalized set of clear, removable aligners known as Invisalign are made using information from a 3-D picture of your mouth and teeth. Your teeth will gradually migrate into the proper alignment with the help of the aligners. Before switching to the subsequent set in the series, each pair of aligners is worn for approximately two weeks.
Once every 6 to 8 weeks, you'll come in to our offices to check on your progress. A total of 18–30 sets of aligners will be used throughout the procedure to reposition your teeth from their pre-treatment position into a beautiful, straight smile, which will take anywhere from 12–24 months.
- You can remove your aligners to eat (meaning no dietary restrictions)
- You can experience complete comfort (the aligners have no metal or wires)
- Adjustments are easy – just move up a size in your aligner sets
- Everything feels comfortable – you can even sleep in your aligners
- Few will even know you have braces (aligners are almost invisible)
- Brushing and flossing is simple since you just take the aligners out
- Aligners can be switched out with a mouthguard for sports, or removed for photo shoots or special events.
