What is Invisalign® treatment?

Invisalign® treatment uses a series of transparent aligners without visible brackets and wires. These aligners gently straighten your smile as you progress through treatment with a new set every week.

Since the aligners are removable and comfortable - they won’t get in the way of work or important events. As long as you wear your aligners for the recommended 22 hours a day, you can take them out for special events, meal times, regular brushing and flossing.

What to expect with Invisalign® treatment

Invisalign® treatment is a convenient and comfortable smile solution! Here’s what you can expect:

Consultation: During your free consultation, our orthodontist will examine your teeth and prescribe a personalized treatment plan based on your smile needs. We will present affordable financing options and will work with you to create a customized payment plan that fits your budget.
Customization: Should you decide to start treatment, we will begin by taking digital scans of your teeth to develop your first set of aligners to be made according to your customized treatment plan by our orthodontic specialist.
Treatment start and process: At the start of treatment, temporary, tooth colored “attachments” are bonded to some of your teeth. These attachments facilitate and speed up the required movements. You’ll receive your first set of aligners and wear them each week. Clear elastics may be needed with aligners to improve the bite during treatment. As you move to the next set of aligners in the series, your teeth will gradually move until they are shaped into the desired position. Remember to schedule your routine checkups with your family dentist. It is recommended that you continue to visit the dentist every six months, even while wearing aligners.
Treatment maintenance: Once we’ve achieved your simply spectacular smile! We will remove the small, temporary, tooth-colored attachments and give you a set of custom retainers to maintain it. A clear, removable upper retainer worn 10-12 hours at night and a lower bonded retainer to the back of the six lower front teeth, making it impossible for others to see.

With this revolutionary technology, our orthodontist can track and see your treatment progress. We see you weekly virtually which means far fewer in-office appointments!

iTero Digital Scanner with Invisalign® treatment

The iTero Scanner is a small wand-like device that helps us map out your new smile by taking thousands of images of your teeth and gums within three minutes. We then use these accurate 3D images of your teeth to create a 100% personalized Invisalign® treatment plan for you.

i-Cat Cone Beam 3D Scanner with Invisalign® treatment

The i-CAT® Cone Beam 3D Dental Imaging System gives us high-quality images of your teeth, jaws, jaw joints, and supporting bone which is instrumental for diagnosing, evaluating and planning treatment. One of the advantages of 3D cone beam technology is that it provides us with a view of your mouth and supporting structures that is more comprehensive than that provided by digital X-rays, with less exposure than traditional X-rays. Plus it eliminates the need for impressions for dental molds.
