Do you want a straighter smile without wearing unsightly metal braces? With Invisalign you can now straighten your smile without anyone even noticing! Invisalign is one of the most well established invisible braces systems for straightening teeth in a discrete manner. If you are a candidate for Invisalign or other invisible braces, you can maintain your smile esthetics while straightening your teeth. Invisalign was introduced in 1999 by Align Technologies, and quickly became a leading brand of orthodontic appliances. The removable aligners are designed to be more esthetically pleasing than conventional wire-and-bracket braces for treating an array of minor misalignment problems. With Invisalign, your teeth will gradually move to their desired orthodontic position with each set of aligners. How it Works With Invisalign's discreetness, convenience and comfort, it has quickly become the solution of choice for adults and teenagers. Using a series of clear, removable, custom-made trays, you can gradually straighten and align your teeth over the course of several weeks. With advanced 3-D computer imaging technology, your dentist can accurately depict the complete Invisalign treatment plan before beginning treatment. This allows your dentist to map out your entire course of treatment and project tooth movement for every phase of Invisalign- starting with the initial position of your teeth and ending with the final desired outcome. The process is easy. Simply replace your aligners approximately every two weeks with your next series of trays, slowly repositioning your teeth. Each series of aligners is perfectly designed by your dentist to move your teeth over the course of treatment toward their final, desired position. Why Invisalign? Unlike conventional braces, Invisalign is virtually invisible and easily removable. With Invisalign, your teeth will change, but your lifestyle doesn't have to. Want to enjoy a night out without your trays? No problem. As long as you wear your aligners for the required number of hours every day, you'll have the flexibility to remove your aligners as needed. Other benefits of Invisalign include: • Virtually invisible trays make it difficult to notice you're undergoing treatment
• Convenient, removable trays allow you to eat, drink, brush and floss normally
• Compared to metal braces, Invisalign trays are made of soft plastic which reduces irritation of your gums
• 3-D computer imaging technology allows you to visualize the final outcome of your teeth alignment
• With no need for routine adjustments, such as tightening, fewer dental appointments are needed during the course of treatment. Treatment time for Invisalign varies depending on each individual patient's case. Talk with your dentist in Highland, Stone Ridge and Rosendale to find out if you are a good candidate for Invisalign. You'll see results faster and less painfully than with traditional braces. And even better, you can continue to enjoy the things you love without altering your lifestyle.
