Invisalign & Teeth Aligners
A series of clear, removable aligners that gradually straighten your teeth without traditional metal braces.
What is Invisalign & Teeth Aligners?
Clear aligner treatment, such as Invisalign, gradually straightens your teeth using a series of custom-made, clear, removable trays, each worn for one to two weeks before moving to the next in the series. Your dentist or orthodontist uses digital scanning and specialized software to map out your complete treatment plan in advance, showing the step-by-step movement of your teeth toward their final position. Because the aligners are removable, you can take them out to eat, brush, and floss normally, though they should be worn nearly full-time, typically twenty to twenty-two hours a day, to stay on track.
Why is this procedure performed?
- Crowded or overlapping teeth
- Gaps or spacing between teeth
- Mild to moderate bite misalignment
- A desire for a more discreet alternative to traditional metal braces
- Wanting the convenience of removable aligners for eating and cleaning
How does this procedure help?
Clear aligners straighten your teeth with far less visibility than traditional braces, making them a popular choice for adults and image-conscious teens. Because they're removable, maintaining oral hygiene throughout treatment is much easier than with fixed braces. Most treatment plans take six months to eighteen months depending on the complexity of your case, resulting in a straighter, more confident smile.
