What is Invisalign®?
|
Invisalign ® is way to straighten
your teeth without braces. Invisalign®
is also referred by many as Invisible Braces, Clear Braces, Adult Braces,
Adult Orthodontics.
|
|
|
Invisalign ® uses a series of clear
removable aligners to straighten your teeth without metal wires or
brackets.
|
|
|
Invisalign ® has been proven effective in clinical research and in orthodontic practices nationwide. In fact, over 70% of all U.S. orthodontists are certified to treat patients with Invisalign®. |
How Does
Invisalign® Work?
|
You wear each set of aligners for
about 2 weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss.
|
|
|
As you replace each aligner with
the next in the series, your teeth will move - little by little, week by
week - until they have straightened to the final position your doctor has
prescribed.
|
|
|
You'll visit the dental practice of Dr.
Williams and Scott about once every 6 weeks to ensure that your Invisalign®
orthodontic treatment is progressing as planned.
|
|
|
Total treatment time averages 9-15 months and the average number of aligners worn during treatment is between 18 and 30, but both will vary from case to case. |
How Are Invisalign® Aligners Made?
The aligners are made through a combination of Dr. Williams and Scott's expertise and 3-D computer imaging technology.
