“Straight teeth. No
braces.”
|

What
is Invisalign®?
-
Invisalign®
is the invisible way to straighten
your teeth without braces.
-
Invisalign®
uses a series of clear removable
aligners (pictured to the left)
to straighten your teeth without
metal wires or brackets.
-
Invisalign®
has been proven effective in clinical
research and in orthodontic practices
nationwide. In fact, over 70%
of all U.S. orthodontists are
certified to treat patients with
Invisalign®.
|
How
Does Invisalign® Work?
-
You wear each set of aligners
for about 2 weeks, removing them
only to eat, drink, brush, and
floss.
-
As you replace each aligner with
the next in the series, your teeth
will move - little by little,
week by week - until they have
straightened to the final position
your orthodontist or dentist has
prescribed.
-
You'll visit your orthodontist
or dentist about once every 6
weeks to ensure that your treatment
is progressing as planned.
-
Total treatment time averages
9-15 months and the average number
of aligners worn during treatment
is between 18 and 30, but both
will vary from case to case.

Why
Invisalign®?
Invisalign® can help you get
the great smile you've always
wanted because it's...
Invisible,
so no one can tell you're straightening
your teeth. So now you can smile
more during treatment as well
as after.
Removable,
so you can eat and drink what
you want while in treatment, plus
brushing and flossing are no problem.
Comfortable,
because it has no metal to cause
mouth abrasions during treatment.
And no metal and wires usually
means you spend less time in your
doctor's office getting adjustments.
Invisalign® also allows you
to view your own virtual treatment
plan when you start, so you can
see how your straight teeth will
look when your treatment is complete.

| The latest
technology makes it possible. |
Invisalign
is the invisible way to straighten
teeth using a series of custom-made,
nearly undetectable aligners.
Whether your teeth are crowded,
too far apart or have shifted
since wearing braces, you'll have
a new reason to smile.
Upon
an initial examination, our accredited
orthodontist decides if Invisalign
is right for you. Our doctor will
write a treatment plan and take
an impression of your teeth, which
are submitted to Invisalign. Using
the latest advances in 3-D computer
technology, Invisalign carefully
translates our doctor's instructions
into series of precisely customized
aligners. You then wear each set
of aligners for about two to three
weeks, moving your teeth gradually
-- week by week, millimeter by
millimeter -- until you've achieved
the intended result: straighter
teeth. Generally, you visit our
doctor no more often than you
would with braces and the length
of treatment is about the same.

| No braces.
Nothing to hold you back. |
| Because there are
no metal wires and brackets, Invisalign
is comfortable. And because it's
removable, eating, brushing and
flossing are no broblem. You can
still enjoy your favourite foods
and smile without holding back.
With Invisalign, there's nothing
to hide. |

| FAQs |
| Q |
How
does Invisalign work? |
| A |
Using
the latest advances in 3-D
computer technology, Invisalign
translates our doctor's
instructions into a series
of nearly undetectable aligners.
You wear each set of aligners
for about two to three weeks,
moving your teeth millimetre
by millimetre until you've
achieved the desired result. |
| |
|
| Q |
Is Invisalign
effective? |
| A |
works
for a wide range of people
whose teeth are too crowded
or have spaces between them,
as well as for those whose
teeth may have shifted after
having worn braces in their
youth. |
| |
|
| Q |
How often
will I have to wear my aligners? |
| A |
Invisalign
only works while you're
wearing the aligners. It's
recommended that you wear
your aligners full-time,
day and night, except to
eat, brush and floss your
teeth. |
| |
|
| Q |
How long
does Invisalign take? |
| A |
The duration
of treatment depends on
the severity of your case,
which determines the number
of aligners you need. However,
the average is about 12
months, but only your orthodontist
can determine the length
of your treatment. |
