Invisalign is a modern solution for aligning teeth that is currently accessible in the market. This option utilizes advanced technology to offer a more convenient and comfortable alternative to traditional braces. Instead of the usual metal braces and wires, Invisalign employs a customized set of clear aligners tailored to each patient. These orthodontic devices gradually adjust teeth into their correct placement within a year or less.
One of the standout features of Invisalign aligners is that they are detachable. This flexibility allows for the aligners to be taken out during meals, while brushing and flossing, or even during special events.
The aligners are custom-made from smooth plastic, designed to fit your mouth perfectly. This eliminates the risk of gum or cheek irritation often caused by the metal wires and brackets of traditional braces.
Invisalign comes with a structured and predictable treatment plan. Each aligner is designed to make certain adjustments to the position of your teeth, and you’ll typically switch to a new aligner every one to two weeks.
Since you can remove the aligners, it’s much easier to properly brush and floss your teeth. This decreases the risk of plaque buildup and cavities that often accompany traditional braces.
Patients’ requirements vary, and we take great satisfaction in tailoring the time of any visit to meet your requirements as closely as possible. Appointment times may range from 30 to 45 minutes.
The use of intraoral scanning as a method of obtaining dental images has become increasingly popular in recent years. We can create accurate and detailed dental models with this technology, which improves the effectiveness of restorative dental procedures. Traditional 2D imaging isn’t enough for modern patient-tailored dental procedures like Invisalign aligners.
For optimal results, it is necessary to position Invisalign attachments correctly on the teeth. There shouldn’t be any serious considerations with attachments. This is much less invasive than having brackets attached to each tooth.
When you have had your teeth straightened, you need a retainer, which prevents them from shifting. The new position of your teeth takes anywhere from four to six months to become permanent. Relapse occurs during this period when your teeth try to shift back into their previous positions.
By reshaping a tooth, one can improve its appearance and contour it into a slightly better form. Occasionally, your teeth may have a slightly out-of-shape tip or one tooth may be slightly longer than another. If we file the tip of your tooth slightly, we can enhance the appearance of your tooth and in some cases, your overall smile.

The price of Invisalign is determined by the severity of your dental misalignment and the length of time it will take to fix it. After looking at your teeth, x-rays, and the 3D model, we’ll discuss your treatment options and costs with you.
Both metal braces and Invisalign have pros and cons. Metal braces are more affordable, but they can be less aesthetically pleasing. Invisalign is more expensive, but they are nearly invisible and removable. Ultimately, the best option for you depends on your specific needs and budget.
The typical Invisalign treatment time is about one year, but it can vary depending on the patient’s age and the severity of their case. Patients usually see significant results within six months, but it’s important to continue wearing the aligners even after your teeth have shifted into place.
