Invisalign

Invisalign is a custom-made set of clear braces that provide an effective alternative to traditional metal braces.

They are comfortable, removable, and are a highly effective means of straightening your teeth. You simply switch your Invisalign braces once every few weeks, and follow a long-term plan designed to straighten your teeth. It’s an affordable and popular option for patients who need their teeth straightened, but do not want to use the traditional method of metal braces. They must be worn 20-22 hours every day, and good oral hygiene is essential—as with most dental procedures.

 

Every time you eat a meal, you’ll need to remove your aligners. Some patients have trouble eating certain meals with metal braces, but Invisalign users are free to eat and drink whatever they choose. They are also very easy to clean with a toothbrush or an Invisalign cleaning kit. It’s also a great option for athletes in contact sports, since metal braces can injure mouth tissue upon contact.

 

Treatment can range anywhere from 6-18 months, depending on how far the teeth are moved. You will also need to come into the office every 4-6 weeks as part of your treatment plan. Invisalign is a great alternative to metal braces, but it will not work for patients who do not follow the recommended treatment plan.
