Want to improve your smile without the unsightliness of metal braces? Invisalign aligners could be the answer. Described as invisible braces, the invisalign system involves using a progressive series of removable teeth aligners made of clear polyurethane. It was developed by Align technology as an alternative to metal braces.

The progressive feature of these aligners means a new teeth alignment tray must be used approx. every 2 weeks. Over the course of treatment an average of 18-30 trays may be used depending on the severity of the case.

We have been offering invisalign to our clients for a number of years now. This system not only provides a more aesthetically pleasing smile but is very helpful in getting teeth into a better position before we begin any restorative dentistry. This makes it possible for our treatments to be more conservative, kinder to the nerves within the teeth. The finished results are more easy to maintain with a good oral hygiene routine, allowing for improved health of gum tissue.

What are the advantages of invisalign braces?

• Cosmetically pleasing-their transparent quality makes them especially appealing to adults

• Removable-for eating, drinking, brushing and flossing

• Use less force- so are generally less painful

What is the treatment process?

1. Dental impressions, x-rays and photographs are made and sent to Align technology

2. A three-dimensional model is made

3. A computer simulation is made of the progressive movement of teeth

4. A plastic aligner is made for each stage of progression

Average treatment time is approximately 1 year depending on the severity of the case.

Our clients who have used invisalign are very happy with the results. Please call our office for a consultation and we would be happy to help you to learn more about how this procedure can help you to achieve a dazzling smile.
