Invisalign®

Traditional metal braces, with their brackets and wires, can often trap food particles and make thorough teeth cleaning a challenge. This can sometimes lead to staining when the braces are eventually removed. Invisalign® offers a revolutionary alternative, eliminating the need for fixed wires and brackets. Say goodbye to the worry of food getting stuck and hello to confident smiles, free from the visibility of metal. Invisalign® aligners are designed for seamless and convenient placement and removal, allowing you to take them out easily for meals or special occasions. Their discreet design ensures they blend in naturally with your smile, even while you’re wearing them.

As your treatment progresses, each new set of aligners will incorporate minor adjustments to continue shifting your teeth into the desired position. You may initially notice that a new aligner doesn’t fit perfectly; this is normal, as your teeth need to adjust to the aligner’s shape. Invisalign® is a gradual process, with each aligner focusing on moving specific teeth at a time. Our dentists will monitor your progress every few weeks, providing you with new sets of aligners based on your individual treatment plan.

In some cases, additional support may be needed to guide certain teeth into place. To achieve this, your dentist may apply small, tooth-colored attachments using a bonding resin. These attachments help the aligners apply extra force to teeth that may not shift as easily on their own. The application and removal of these attachments are simple, painless procedures that do not require any anesthesia.
