INVISALIGN
Want straight teeth without the hassle of traditional braces? Invisalign provides a clear, comfortable alternative to metal braces. Schedule a consultation today to see if Invisalign is right for you!
Benefits of Invisalign
Invisalign provides greater freedom than traditional braces. These clear, removable aligners are virtually invisible and minimize irritation. They also make brushing and flossing easier, reducing the risk of decay and inflammation. For optimal results, wear them at least 22 hours a day. Each aligner is custom-made to gently and precisely shift your teeth.
Digital Scanning for Invisalign
We utilize the iTero Element Scanner for accurate 3D intraoral scans, creating digital models of your teeth. These models ensure precise tooth movements and aligner production. Each aligner is worn for approximately two weeks, gradually shifting your teeth to the desired position, often in the same timeframe as traditional braces.
The scanning process is painless and non-invasive. Our simulation technology allows you and your dentist to preview treatment results before starting.
What to Expect?
Begin your Invisalign journey with a consultation to assess your teeth and goals. We’ll take digital impressions to create a personalized treatment plan, providing a virtual preview of your transformation.
Wear your custom aligners for 20-22 hours a day, removing them only for meals and oral hygiene. Check-ups every 6-8 weeks will track your progress and provide new aligners. Each set is worn for 1-2 weeks to gradually shift your teeth. After treatment, you’ll use retainers to maintain your new smile.
