Invisalign is an alternative to braces used to correct many of the same orthodontic problems that braces can. As the name implies, Invisalign is invisible, and is a series of clear, plastic “aligners”, which resemble a mouth guard, and is completely removable.

What Are The Indications of Invisalign?

Invisalign is indicated for aligning teeth which are crowded together, have too much space in between them, and also for many cases of overbite or underbite.

Am I a Candidate for Invisalign?

If you are a candidate for braces, you are probably a candidate for Invisalign, with one major exception: if you have a severe bite abnormality which requires headgear, headgear is not compatible with Invisalign the way it is with regular braces.

What Does the Procedure Involve?

First, your dentist will make an impression of your teeth. The Invisalign aligners are then fabricated in the lab according to the impression. Then, your dentist receives your custom Invisalign appliance.

What Are the Advantages of Invisalign?

Invisalign gives you the correction of braces without their unsightly appearance. Invisalign is also removable, allowing for normal eating, brushing, and flossing.

How Many Treatments Are Required?

Usually 6-12 months of treatment are required.

Will I Have Pain?

During the natural shifting of teeth caused by the realignment, there may be slight aches and pains, but otherwise, the procedure is painless.

When Can I Go Back To Work Or School?

You can return to work or school immediately.

Who Will Perform My Treatment?
