Q: What is Invisalign®?
A: Invisalign® is the invisible way to straighten teeth without braces. Invisalign® uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually straighten teeth, without metal or wires.
Q: Does Invisalign® really work?
A: Yes. In both clinical research and in orthodontic and dental practices nationwide, Invisalign® has been proven effective at straightening teeth.
Q: How does Invisalign® work?
A:
Invisalign® uses 3-D computer imaging technology to depict the complete treatment plan from the initial position to the final desired position from which a series of custom-made "Aligners" are produced. Each "Aligner" moves teeth incrementally and is worn for about two weeks, then replaced by the next in
the series until the final position is achieved.
Q: What are the primary benefits of Invisalign®?
A: There are four primary benefits of Invisalign®:
1. Invisalign® is nearly invisible - you can straighten your teeth without anyone knowing.
2. Invisalign® is
removable
- you can eat and drink what you want in treatment; you can also brush and
floss normally to maintain good oral hygiene.
3. Invisalign® is
comfortable
- there are no metal brackets or wires to cause mouth irritation; no metal or wires also means you spend less time in the doctor's chair getting adjustments. Invisalign®
allows you to view your own virtual treatment plan before you start
- so you can see how your straight teeth will
look when your treatment is complete.
