“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. |
