Invisalign Treatment Is Your Key to a Straight Smile

Traditional braces have been around for a long time for one reason – they work well in a variety of orthodontic situations. However, not everyone likes the idea of having metal in their mouth. Standard braces can also be uncomfortable, as the brackets and wires often irritate the sensitive tissues inside your mouth.

When the Invisalign system became available to the public about two-and-a-half decades ago, orthodontic patients quickly flocked to this new technology. Instead of metal brackets and wires, Invisalign treatment uses comfortable plastic teeth aligners to gently move your teeth into their proper positions.

Invisalign aligners are better than braces in many ways:

  • The aligners are made of transparent material so they blend in naturally with the rest of your smile. You won’t worry about feeling self-conscious during important meetings or standing up in front of a group of people and showing off a mouthful of metal.
  • Your aligners are easy to get used to, as there is no metal hardware to irritate your mouth. When you visit us for progress checks, there isn’t any discomfort. Unlike standard braces , there are no wires to tighten.
  • You’ll make fewer trips to the dentist office during Invisalign treatment. You wear each set of custom-made aligners for about two weeks, then switch to the next aligners. Your dentist needs to see you only every six weeks or so to ensure your Invisalign treatment stays on track.
  • You can easily remove the teeth aligners when needed. Simply pop them out for eating, drinking, brushing, or special occasions. Just put them back in when you’re finished and be sure to wear the aligners for at least 20-22 hours a day to keep your treatment time as short as possible. Many Invisalign patients complete their treatment in as few as 12 months.
