Are you apprehensive about the appearance of traditional braces? You are not alone in this!
Invisalign® aligners are a great choice for patients who are searching for a more discreet orthodontic treatment option for straightening their smile. Rather than using metal brackets and
wires like traditional braces, the Invisalign system uses a series of custom-made, computer-generated plastic aligners to straighten teeth.
Each set of aligners is designed to make small changes to the alignment of the teeth. As you switch sets of aligners about every two weeks, your teeth will gradually and gently move to their proper positions.

You will also visit our office on a regular basis during treatment to make certain that your smile is progressing as planned
Attachments
Most people don’t know that small discreet attachments are bonded to the teeth. These attachments allow the Invisalign to grab onto the teeth and perform adjustments and corrections.
In general, Invisalign aligners can be used to treat the same orthodontic issues that are normally treated with braces. Our orthodontists may recommend Invisalign treatment to correct
Crowding
Gaps
Crookedness
During your treatment, you will visit our office on a regular basis so we can make sure that your braces are adjusted as needed to continue progressing toward a straighter, healthier smile.
Not Everyone Qualifies
Some issues are too severe to be corrected completely with Invisalign. During your initial visit, we will determine whether you are a good candidate for Invisalign treatment.
Another important factor is the ability to remove aligners during treatment. This allows for the convenience of easy eating, brushing, and flossing. However, if aligners are not worn for the prescribed 24 hours, needed corrections will not be possible
Our skilled orthodontists and team will help you reach all of your oral health and appearance goals through personalized, highquality care.
