“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. |
