Invisalign™

Invisalign™ straightens teeth through a gradual and specifically planned process. First, your provider maps out a plan of which teeth should be move to where and exactly when the aligners should focus on those specific teeth. Then, clear aligners similar to custom whitening trays are created and worn. As treatment continues, new ones are made every two weeks to continue the gradual process of moving teeth where they need to be.

Treatment time varies based on the severity of the orthodontic issues being corrected with Invisalign™. On average, treatment lasts between 9 and 18 months. The best way to find out if you or your teen are a good candidate for Invisalign™ is to schedule a consultation appointment. During that appointment we can also determine about how long treatment will take for your individual situation.

It may be tempting to skip your dental appointments and try one of the mail order teeth straightening companies. However, we frequently treat patients who have used these programs and without professional dental supervision now have even more problems than when they began. Taking a risk with your permanent, adult teeth is never a good idea no matter how easier or cheaper it may seem.
