Invisalign

Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that uses a series of custom-made, clear aligners to gradually shift your teeth into their desired position. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are made of smooth, transparent plastic, making them nearly invisible when worn. Each set of aligners is designed to be worn for about two weeks before moving on to the next set in the series, gently and consistently guiding your teeth into alignment.

Invisalign is a popular choice for adults and teenagers looking for a more discreet orthodontic treatment. Invisalign aligners are:

• Virtually invisible: Invisalign aligners are clear, so most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them.
• Comfortable: Made from smooth plastic, Invisalign aligners are gentle on your gums and cheeks.
• Removable: You can easily remove your aligners for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing, allowing you to maintain your normal lifestyle and oral hygiene routine.
• Convenient: Fewer in-office visits are required compared to traditional braces, as you’ll receive multiple sets of aligners at each appointment.
• Effective: Invisalign can treat a wide range of orthodontic issues, from minor adjustments to more complex cases.

Invisalign can treat a variety of orthodontic issues, including:

• Crowded teeth: If there isn’t enough space in your jaw for all of your teeth to fit normally.
• Gaps between teeth: If you have extra space between one or more of your teeth.
• Overbite: When your upper front teeth overlap too much with your lower front teeth.
• Underbite: When your lower front teeth protrude past your upper front teeth.
• Crossbite: When some of your upper teeth sit inside your lower teeth rather than outside.
• Open bite: When your upper and lower teeth don’t meet when your mouth is closed.

During your consultation, our dentists will assess your specific needs and determine if Invisalign is a suitable treatment option for you.

Keeping your Invisalign aligners clean is important for maintaining good oral hygiene and ensuring the aligners remain clear. Here are some tips to keep them in good condition:

• Rinse regularly: Rinse your aligners with lukewarm water whenever you remove them to prevent dry saliva and plaque build-up.
• Brush gently: Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to gently brush your aligners with clear, anti-bacterial soap. Avoid using toothpaste, as it can be abrasive and cause scratches.
• Soak daily: Soak your aligners in Invisalign cleaning crystals or a denture cleaner to keep them fresh and clear.
• Avoid staining: Remove your aligners when eating or drinking anything other than water to avoid staining.
