Clear teeth aligners are what dentists and orthodontists commonly call “invisible braces” or “clear braces.” They are made with advanced technology that helps move your teeth and align your jaw to create a beautiful smile without making it obvious that you’re receiving orthodontic treatment.

Invisalign® are an invisible teeth liner that is visually pleasing and a great alternative for people who do not want unsightly traditional metal braces in their mouth. This invisible liner is completely transparent so no one will be able to tell that you’re wearing anything at all.

Say goodbye to having a mouth full of ugly traditional metal braces that are both painful and uncomfortable!


What’s So Great About Invisalign?

For starters, we recommend Invisalign because it does a great job of fitting our patients’ lifestyles. Whether you’re a teen or an older adult, Invisalign will help treat various issues such as crowded teeth, tooth gaps/spaces, and over/underbites.

What’s great about the Invisalign treatment plan is that it offers a custom-fitted, soft, clear tray for minor to complex tooth straightening that’s both comfortable and completely invisible.

The three main benefits that many of our patients love about Invisalign is that they are:

  • Comfortable to wear - Invisalign clear trays are very comfortable to wear because they are made from a laser-trimmed precision fit that ensures they will mold to your teeth perfectly so you’ll barely notice them at all.

  • Virtually Invisible - Not only are Invisalign completely transparent, but they are very easy to keep clean and are so clear that your family and friends won’t notice that you’re wearing them at all.

  • Able to eat what you want - Gone are the days when a mouth full of metal prevented you from eating certain foods you love. With Invisalign, you can eat all of your favorite foods without any pain, discomfort, or getting chunks of food stuck in your mouth that’s common with traditional metal braces. It’s easy, all you have to do is just pop them out from your teeth before you eat or drink and you’re good to go.


How Does Invisalign Compare To Other Invisible Teeth Aligners?

With today’s modern technology, there is more than one option when it comes to invisible teeth aligners. While there are similarities between popular clear aligner brands that are currently available on the market, we recommend Invisalign because they have a few advantages over other brands that we believe benefit our patients.

  • Precise teeth movement to ensure your ideal smile — Invisalign is designed using patented SmartForce® attachments, which are small tooth-colored shapes that are attached to your teeth and help the aligners apply the right amount of force on your teeth to move in the right direction.

    Not only that, Invisalign uses advanced proprietary ClinCheck® software to ensure your clear aligner trays fit comfortably and deliver the exact tooth movements needed to achieve your ideal smile. We are able to navigate every movement of your tooth and plan a customized treatment plan for your teeth from start to finish.

    Moreover, with Invisalign’s “Outcome Simulator,” we are able to provide our patients with a simulated visual of what the final appearance of their teeth may look like after their treatment with the Invisalign aligner system.

  • High quality and latest advanced technology — The results from Invisalign are long-lasting because they are engineered using SmartTrack® material, that’s been proven to improve the predictability of tooth movement. The state-of-the-art manufacturing that goes behind these aligners means you will have precise laser-cut fabricated aligners that are finely polished and fully guarantee optimal tooth movement. But the best part is, they are comfortable to wear.

  • Sophisticated treatment plans for quicker treatment time — We are able to create a fully customized treatment plan for each of our patients because it uses sophisticated iTero 3D-digital imaging software to create anatomically correct tooth movements that will last a lifetime. As a result, the average treatment time for Invisalign patients is faster and more effective than the leading competitor.

  • The most recognized brand that’s backed by clinical expertise — Not only is the Invisalign® brand and technology backed by more than 20 years of being the top choice for clear teeth aligners on the market but Invisalign cases are analyzed especially to ensure that all patients are able to achieve their ideal smile. Today, more than 50% of prospective adult orthodontic patients specifically request Invisalign treatment by name.

So How Does It Work?

Invisalign is a series of clear plastic aligners that were created using a digital scan of your teeth as the starting point.  The aligners are plastic replicas of your teeth.

Wearing them puts gentle pressure on the teeth, ever-so-slightly repositioning them over time. Each set of aligners is worn for a week or two before going to the next set. Over time, your teeth will reach their ideal alignment.

 

3 Easy Steps to Achieving Your Perfect Smile

  1. We begin with a dental consultation in our office. To determine whether you are a candidate for Invisalign, we will take a 3D digital impression and pictures of your face and teeth using our iTero Digital Scanner.

    We will then discuss with you what would be the best treatment plan to achieve your ideal smile. The best part is, this process is fairly quick. No fuss, no mess from painful metal braces, just a few moments of your time in our dental chair.

  2. The next step is to begin to design your treatment plan using the advanced ClinCheck digital software to orchestrate each step of your smile transformation with precision. Our office will also work with an Invisalign specialist to make sure we use the exact right number of custom-finished clear aligners for your ideal smile.

    Once your Invisalign clear aligners are ready, we will schedule a visit for you to come in and preview your new smile plan.

  3. Congratulations! Your journey to a beautiful smile begins back in our dental office when you try on your first set of Invisalign clear aligners. By wearing your clear aligners and following your custom treatment plan, you will be well on your way to your ideal smile.

    Moreover, you will quickly notice that your clear aligners are not only comfortable and easy-to-wear, but virtually invisible so it’s impossible to tell that you’re wearing anything at all.
