We are now proud to offer our patients Invisalign, a revolutionary provider of invisible braces to straighten your teeth. In just a few office visits, you can transform your smile.

Procedure

After an initial consultation, your dentist will complete a 3D digital scan of your teeth, along with a set of impressions, that will help ensure your Invisalign fits perfecty. Once your trays are created, you will come back for a fitting appointment, and then you are on your way. The trays are designed to allow you the freedom of living the way are you are accustomed to, while still transforming your smile. You will change trays periodically (as directed by your dentist) and check-in with your dentist throughout the process. The duration of the entire process varies (6 months or longer), however you will start seeing results within the first few weeks! 

Care and Maintenance

Once you have completed the Invisalign process, your dentist will discuss options for various retainers to help hold your teeth in their new, perfect position. These retainers can be clear and removable (similar to the Invisalign trays) or a metal retainer that is cemented to the back of your teeth. Despite which retainer option you choose, it is vital to continue to brush and floss daily, and schedule cleanings regularly. 

Are you ready for that smile you have always dreamed of? You're never too old have braces, especially when no one else knows!
