Crooked teeth can cause patients to become less confident in their smile. Finding an appropriate solution to straighten crooked teeth and restore confidence can be beneficial. Invisalign® is one of the most popular and effective ways to straighten crooked or misaligned teeth. Invisalign can address:

Gapped teeth
Overbite
Underbite
Open bite
Crossbite
Crowded teeth
Crooked and misaligned teeth

Invisalign is a modern cosmetic treatment option that will straighten your crooked teeth and give you that attractive smile you’ve always wanted. The clear, plastic aligners are worn at all times except for when you are eating, drinking, or cleaning your teeth. They are the alternative to traditional metal braces and do not require brackets, wires or rubber bands.

Is Invisalign Treatment Right for Me?

Invisalign is a good treatment option if you have crooked teeth. The process is simple and straightforward. There’s no hardware to affix to your teeth as it is with traditional braces. Clear braces provide a number of benefits over traditional metal braces including more comfortable, healthier and discreet treatment for straighter teeth. Designed to address the need of most patients, Invisalign is suitable for both adult and teens.

What is the Treatment Process?

During your consultation, your dentist will determine if Invisalign® is the best treatment option for you. Digital pictures of your teeth are taken to create a customized aligner for you to wear. Except for eating, drinking or cleaning your teeth, it should be worn at all times including while you sleep.

You will receive another aligner two weeks after wearing your first aligner and continue to receive and wear the aligners until your teeth become straight. The length of time to wear the aligners varies for each individual.
