Invisible Aligment
There are various ways to correct crooked or crowded teeth without the use of traditional braces. One method involves attaching brackets and wire to the back of your teeth. In this case, extra oral hygiene is paramount and you will have to use a special flossing tool. Another technique works by way of placing, in sequence, clear, hard plastic retainers over your teeth. Each varies in shape and is customized to your bite. They must be removed for eating and may influence your speech. Whether you are an adult or a teen, our orthodontist will help you decide which method is best for you.

How does the Invisalign system works?
Depending on the severity of your teeth misalignment and the desired result, your teeth will be gently moved into place by the custom aligners over a period of 9 to 24 months. Aligners are clear plastic trays that apply gentle pressure to crooked teeth, causing them to turn or move slowly.
The aligners should be changed every two weeks during the course of the treatment. Your dental appointments are brief, and the treatment is less uncomfortable than other orthodontic solutions. Considering that Invisalign treatment is also virtually invisible, it is usually a top choice of treatment for teens, adults, and professionals looking for a straighter smile.
