Invisalign® Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are very popular among adults who wants to avoid metal braces while achieving straighter teeth.
Invisalign is now a common name, but there are many brands of clear aligners available. We will discuss the clear aligner process in detail if you express interest.
Clear aligner treatment consists of a series of clear trays that are worn for 22-hours a day. Each set of trays will place pressure on the teeth to move them gently over time. Trays are typically worn for two weeks at a time. The total number a trays required will depend on your specific bite.
In general, clear aligners can be used to treat the same orthodontic issues that are normally treated with braces. Our dentists may recommend Invisalign treatment to correct:
- Crowded teeth
- Crooked teeth
- Gapped and spaced teeth
- Certain problems with the bite, such as an overbite, open bite, underbite or crossbite
During your initial visit, we will determine whether you are a good candidate for clear aligner treatment. This treatment is often a good choice for adult patients who are interested in a virtually invisible orthodontic treatment. The aligners are removable as well, which allows you to easily remove them as needed to eat, brush and floss. We welcome you to call or visit us today to learn more.
