“Straight teeth. No
braces.” |
What is Invisalign®?
- Invisalign® is
the invisible way to straighten
your teeth without braces.
- Invisalign® uses
a series of clear removable
aligners (pictured to the left)
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
orthodontist or dentist has
prescribed.
- You'll visit your
orthodontist or dentist about
once every 6 weeks to ensure
that your 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.
Why Invisalign®?
Invisalign® can help you get the
great smile you've always wanted
because it's...
Invisible, so no one can tell you're
straightening your teeth. So now
you can smile more during
treatment as well as after.
Removable, so you can eat and drink what
you want while in treatment,
plus brushing and flossing are
no problem.
Comfortable, because it has no metal to cause
mouth abrasions during
treatment. And no metal and
wires usually means you spend
less time in your doctor's
office getting adjustments.
Invisalign® also allows you to
view your own virtual treatment
plan when you start, so you can
see how your straight teeth will
look when your treatment is
complete.

The
latest technology makes it
possible.
Invisalign is the
invisible way to straighten
teeth using a series of
custom-made, nearly undetectable
aligners. Whether your teeth are
crowded, too far apart or have
shifted since wearing braces,
you'll have a new reason to
smile.
Upon an initial
examination, our accredited
orthodontist decides if
Invisalign is right for you. Our
doctor will write a treatment
plan and take an impression of
your teeth, which are submitted
to Invisalign. Using the latest
advances in 3-D computer
technology, Invisalign carefully
translates our doctor's
instructions into series of
precisely customized aligners.
You then wear each set of
aligners for about two to three
weeks, moving your teeth
gradually -- week by week,
millimeter by millimeter --
until you've achieved the
intended result: straighter
teeth. Generally, you visit our
doctor no more often than you
would with braces and the length
of treatment is about the same.
|
No
braces. Nothing to hold you
back.
Because there
are no metal wires and brackets,
Invisalign is comfortable. And
because it's removable, eating,
brushing and flossing are no
broblem. You can still enjoy
your favourite foods and smile
without holding back. With
Invisalign, there's nothing to
hide.

FAQs
| Q |
How does Invisalign
work? |
| A |
Using the latest
advances in 3-D computer
technology, Invisalign
translates our doctor's
instructions into a
series of nearly
undetectable aligners.
You wear each set of
aligners for about two
to three weeks, moving
your teeth millimetre by
millimetre until you've
achieved the desired
result. |
| |
|
| Q |
Is
Invisalign effective? |
| A |
works for a wide range
of people whose teeth
are too crowded or have
spaces between them, as
well as for those whose
teeth may have shifted
after having worn braces
in their youth. |
| |
|
| Q |
How often will I have to
wear my aligners? |
| A |
Invisalign only works
while you're wearing the
aligners. It's
recommended that you
wear your aligners
full-time, day and
night, except to eat,
brush and floss your
teeth. |
| |
|
| Q |
How long does Invisalign
take? |
| A |
The duration of
treatment depends on the
severity of your case,
which determines the
number of aligners you
need. However, the
average is about 12
months, but only your
orthodontist can
determine the length of
your treatment. |
