Invisalign® is a popular alternative to traditional braces and provides a discreet and comfortable way to improve the alignment of your teeth.
request an appointmentWhat Is Invisalign®?
Invisalign® treatment uses a series of custom-made clear aligners to gradually move your teeth into their ideal position. Unlike traditional braces that use metal brackets and wires, Invisalign® aligners are made from smooth, transparent plastic that fits comfortably over your teeth.
Each aligner is carefully designed to fit your unique smile and guide your teeth into proper alignment over time. During your Invisalign orthodontic treatment, you will wear a sequence of aligners that are periodically replaced as your teeth continue to shift into place.
In many cases, small tooth-colored attachments may be placed on certain teeth to help the aligners work more effectively. Attachments are tiny, discreet bumps made of dental composite material that are bonded to the teeth. They act like little “handles” that allow the aligners to apply the precise amount of pressure needed to move teeth in specific directions, such as rotating or lifting a tooth.
Because the aligners are clear and nearly invisible, Invisalign® allows you to straighten your teeth without the noticeable appearance of metal braces.
Benefits of Invisalign® Clear Aligners
Many patients choose Invisalign® clear aligners because they offer several advantages compared to traditional braces.
Discreet and Nearly Invisible
Invisalign® aligners are clear and designed to be virtually invisible when worn. This makes Invisalign® a popular orthodontic treatment for patients who want to straighten their teeth without drawing attention to their treatment.
Comfortable Orthodontic Treatment
Each Invisalign® aligner is custom-made to fit your smile. The smooth plastic material helps reduce irritation to the gums and cheeks, making Invisalign® a comfortable option for orthodontic treatment.
Removable for Convenience
One of the key benefits of Invisalign treatment is that the aligners are removable. You can take them out when eating, brushing, and flossing, making it easier to maintain good oral hygiene throughout your orthodontic treatment.
Eat the Foods You Love
Because Invisalign® aligners are removable, patients do not have the same dietary restrictions often associated with traditional braces. You can simply remove the aligners during meals and continue enjoying your favorite foods.
How Invisalign® Straightens Teeth
Invisalign® works by applying gentle, controlled pressure to specific teeth through a series of aligners. Each set of clear aligners is worn for a short period before progressing to the next set in the series.
As you move through each stage of your Invisalign orthodontic treatment, the aligners gradually guide your teeth into better alignment. This step-by-step process allows Invisalign® to effectively correct many common orthodontic concerns while maintaining comfort and convenience.
Are You Too Old For Invisalign®?
You are never too old for Invisalign! Invisalign clear aligners are designed for children, teens and adults and can effectively straighten teeth at almost any age. Many people in their 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s and beyond choose Invisalign to fix issues like crooked teeth, gaps, overbites, and crowding without the look of traditional braces. Because the aligners are clear, removable, and comfortable, they are a popular option for adults who want a discreet way to improve their smile. As long as your teeth and gums are healthy, a dentist or orthodontist can determine if Invisalign is the right treatment for you.
