Invisalign

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign revolutionizes the way we traditionally correct orthodontic problems.  Instead of using metal or ceramic braces and wires, Invisalign teeth and corrects bite with a series of clear aligners.

Clear aligners are transparent thin plastic trays that apply constant force to the teeth to move them into place until desired results are achieved. If you want to have a beautiful smile without having to wear traditional braces then Invisalign may be right for you.

What orthodontic problems can Invisalign treat?

Invisalign can address a number of dental conditions including:

• Crooked Teeth – Teeth are not aligned. Simple teeth alignment problems can easily be treated with clear aligners.
• Crowded Teeth – There is not enough space in your jaw for your teeth to fit resulting into overlapping and twisting of teeth.
• Gap Teeth – There are spaces between two or more of your teeth that create pockets where food can get stuck.
• Overbite – Your upper front teeth overlap with your lower front teeth.
• Underbite – Your lower front teeth are in front of your upper teeth.
• Crossbite – Your upper teeth are sitting inside your lower teeth when you close your mouth.
• Open Bite – Your upper and lower teeth don’t touch when your mouth is closed.

Invisalign is an effective treatment option for many people. However, because it uses less force than conventional braces treatment, it may not be for people with severe orthodontic issues. The best way to know if Invisalign is right for you is to visit us for a consultation.
