Invisalign Clear Aligners for a Beautiful Smile

A beautiful smile with straight teeth is one of the most valuable gifts you can give yourself. Gorgeous smiles have big payoffs, increasing your confidence and giving a great first impression wherever you go. Modern orthodontic solutions offer an alternative to the clunky metal braces of the past. With Invisalign^® clear aligners, you can achieve the smile of your dreams discreetly and comfortably.

Clear Orthodontic Braces: A Modern Solution for Crooked Teeth

Clear aligners were first introduced in the 1990s. Invisalign^® swiftly became popular because it offered an appealing alternative to traditional metal braces with wires and brackets. Invisalign^® aligners are made with a flexible and durable BPA-free thermoplastic material. They are almost invisible and use gentle, consistent force to slowly move teeth to straighter positions.

Invisalign^® Can Correct Many Malocclusion and Misalignment Issues

Though Invisalign^® is mainly known as a fix for crooked teeth, these clear aligners can also address many other concerns, including all of these:

• Unevenly spaced teeth
• Crossbite
• Underbite
• Teeth with gaps between them
• Openbite
• Crowding

The Invisalign^® Process

At your consultation, the dentist will thoroughly examine your teeth and gums. If you have any dental problems like cavities or gum disease, these have to be addressed before beginning the Invisalign^® process.

Once you’re ready to start with Invisalign^®, the team will take detailed 3D images of your entire mouth. These images are sent to a laboratory where technicians create the custom aligners for you. You’ll be able to see how your straight teeth will look before you even wear your first aligner.

Invisalign^® Is Better for Oral Hygiene

Metal braces make oral hygiene more challenging because it’s hard to get all of the parts of the teeth. Also, flossing is nearly impossible. Invisalign^® aligners are removed when you want to brush and floss your teeth. For this reason, you’ll still be able to properly take care of your teeth during the Invisalign^® process.

Enjoy the Food You Love with Invisalign

Anyone who ever had metal braces knows the horrors of eating foods like popcorn and corn on the cob with these braces. The food would get stuck in the braces, causing discomfort and hassle. Also, hard foods could easily damage the wires and brackets. With Invisalign^®, this isn’t a concern because you remove your aligners for meals.

Easy Maintenance

It’s easy to keep clear aligners clean. You can rinse them several times a day, but once a day, you must thoroughly clean them using a special solution available at your dentist’s office or clear liquid soap. Clear aligners should be brushed with a soft-bristled toothbrush. Use a different brush from the one you use to brush your teeth. The soap will remove debris and food particles from your aligners.
