Traditional braces rely on wires, brackets, and elastic bands to tighten your smile into alignment. Even with “clear braces” using ceramic brackets, it can be challenging to keep your treatment hidden. This can be embarrassing for many patients, especially with treatment typically taking two to three years to complete. Plus, braces are bulky and can be uncomfortable to wear. However, with Invisalign, our orthodontists can turn these common complaints on their heads for a more enjoyable teeth straightening experience.
Invisible braces use a series of custom aligner trays that apply gentle pressure to your teeth to straighten them. These clear aligners are transparent and designed to fit your bite exactly, so they can blend in seamlessly with your natural smile. They’re also removable, so you can take them out when eating or brushing your teeth. Like bracket braces, clear aligners can successfully tackle a wide variety of orthodontic issues. This includes crookedness, overcrowding, gaps between teeth, overbite, underbite, crossbite, and open bite.
With modern Invisalign technology, we can plan your entire treatment from your initial exam precisely, allowing for a more streamlined orthodontic experience. While braces are tightened every month or two, clear aligners are switched for the next in the set every two weeks. This makes your treatment more continuous and can cut months from your treatment timeline. On average, you can enjoy a straighter, more beautiful smile in 8 to 18 months.
