Invisalign® has become a household name and a much-welcomed alternative to wire and bracket braces. It’s especially popular with both older teens and adults who need orthodontic treatment but are concerned about the aesthetics of brackets and wires. Plus, not only is it much less visible, but it also offers much faster results.

The traditional braces that many of us grew up with can be a part of a patient’s life for up to 3 years or more to do the work needed. Invisalign®, however, can accurately align teeth in as little as 12 months.

And, while total treatment time will vary based on the needs of the patient, studies have shown that it will reduce the overall time period a patient needs to get the results they require, all while being practically invisible.

Invisalign® is designed to handle mild to medium orthodontic issues including:

• Crooked Teeth
• Crowded Teeth
• Gaps and Spaces Between Teeth
• Over Bites
• Under Bites
• Cross Bites
• Overjet

Invisalign® treatments utilize the custom manufacturing of clear, hard plastic aligner trays. Each tray is created to progressively move your teeth into the final desired positions.

A great advantage of this type of realignment system, besides the fact that it’s hardly visible, is that they can be removed for meals, snacks, and to brush your teeth. This means you can go on eating the foods and snacks you like without having to worry about breaking anything.

It also means that every part of your teeth will receive equal attention during brushing, and you’ll avoid brace marks when why are finally removed.

Finally, you’ll be able to leave them at home for special occasions, like date nights or a night out with the girls/guys.
