The Invisalign
treatment begins with a thorough consultation with your doctor, discussing the
many different options the patient will have throughout your treatment. Invisalign offers an alternative to the
conventional metal braces by supplying each patient with a series of clear
trays (or aligners) that the patient will switch out every one to two
weeks.
The aligners are designed to progressively
shift the patient's teeth in order to properly align the teeth. Invisalign is 100% custom fitted to each
individual patient and creates identical results to standard braces. Unlike braces, Invisalign offers patients
comfort and ease by providing a transparency that prevents the trays from being
noticed.
Since
Invisalign aligners are computer generated; the teeth movements are so precise
the actual time of treatment is less than traditional metal braces.
Typical treatment lasts 9-12 months depending on the complexity. Further, patients are able to take out the
trays to eat, brush, and floss; offering not only one of the easiest
alternatives to braces, but also amazing results.
