Transform Your Smile With Adult-Friendly Orthodontic Options

How often do you look in the mirror and wish for a better, more beautiful smile? Do you see crooked or misaligned teeth and think it may be too late to do anything about it? Are you tired of not smiling because you feel self-conscious about your teeth? After all, you are an adult with a job that requires you to be in front of customers and associates alike, so a “metal mouth” is out of the question.

Or are you a teenager who finds yourself covering your mouth when you laugh? Do your peers make fun of you because of your teeth, or do you imagine they do? Either way, these things can cause your self-esteem to plummet.

Imagine the confidence you’d have if you could share a big, beautiful smile with everyone around you! Now you can!

What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign is an alternative to wire braces that uses a series of clear aligners (also called trays) to gently move teeth into their correct position. The aligners are made of a clear plastic material, which makes them virtually invisible! The trays fit snugly over your teeth, so no one will ever know you’re wearing them.

Invisalign is the most sophisticated clear aligner system on the market. Patients should accept no substitute. In the skilled hands of an experienced orthodontist, we can achieve the results you’re looking for.

How Does Invisalign Work?

To begin your beautiful smile transformation, our dentists will discuss your smile goals and explain the straightforward process of obtaining them with Invisalign treatment.

The first step involves taking a 3D scan of your teeth, which is painless and easy. The Align® technology allows us to show you a rendering of what your smile will look like after treatment, even before you start! We’ll also explain the step-by-step treatment plan designed specifically for you so you will understand what to expect.

Once we have a 3D “map” of your teeth, we will complete the process of digitally designing each aligner, which will enable your teeth to be put into the proper position one aligner at a time. Our team will then send this information to Invisalign for manufacturing, and once completed, it will be delivered back to our office. When you get started with treatment, you will have all of the aligners for the course of your treatment and will change them out every ten days to two weeks. Each aligner is designed to move your teeth gently and gradually into place until your beautiful smile is complete!

Benefits Of Invisalign

In addition to being invisible, one of the great things about Invisalign is that your follow-up visits will be fewer than if you had traditional metal braces since no tightening is required. You just change out your aligners based on the time specified!

With traditional metal braces, you must take extra steps to maintain oral hygiene by brushing and flossing around all brackets and wires. To safeguard your braces, it’s essential to restrict your diet and avoid consuming any hard or chewy foods.

With Invisalign, you can eat anything because you remove your aligners before eating, so there are no food restrictions. Plus, you only need to brush and floss your teeth normally. However, we recommend doing so after eating so that no food particles are stuck between your teeth and the aligners to avoid tooth decay.

Are You A Candidate For Invisalign?

Many patients think they aren’t candidates for Invisalign because their teeth are too crooked or their specific cases are too severe. Invisalign can treat quite a variety of issues, so it’s a good idea to come for a free consultation and let our dentists examine you. There’s absolutely no obligation on your part!
