With modern Invisalign braces and clear aligner therapy orthodontic treatment methods available, we will walk you through the most effective course of orthodontic treatment for your naturally radiant smile.

Invisalign is a customized plastic dental appliance used to straighten the teeth and jaw. It’s a popular alternative to traditional orthodontic treatments, such as metal braces, because the aligners are clear, less noticeable, and more comfortable to wear.

How Invisalign Treatment Works

Unlike traditional braces that are adhered to the teeth, Invisalign aligns the teeth using clear plastic aligner trays that can be easily removed from the mouth.

Invisalign is a treatment that typically requires a series of aligner trays to be created and used throughout the treatment plan. This way, the aligners can slowly shift your teeth into the correct position. It also allows your doctor to shift the teeth in a timed order that will achieve the best overall results.

Your Invisalign trays will be created specifically for you. At your first appointment, your dentist or orthodontist will use a scanner to take 3D digital scans of your teeth. Other x-rays and scans may also be needed so your doctor can view all of the components of your teeth, jaw, and any previous restorations.
