Why Crooked Teeth Matter

• Appearance and facial shape changes
• Traumatic bite causing wear, chipping, or loss of teeth
• Uncomfortable biting or chewing
• Speech changes
• Unhealthy mouth breathing
• Biting of the inner cheek and tongue

You can fix these problems with traditional orthodontia, but some people can benefit from Invisalign clear aligners.

What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign clear aligners work the same way traditional metal braces do by using gentle but consistent force to move your teeth to a straighter position. However, unlike metal braces, Invisalign is discreet and comfortable, with a shorter treatment time than traditional braces.

You will often see Invisalign referred to as clear braces. However, Invisalign clear aligners use zero metal.

Invisalign clear aligners look similar to the mouthguards that athletes wear. Yet, Invisalign is much thinner. Also, you can remove your Invisalign to eat and clean your teeth, which gives them a huge advantage over metal braces.

What Happens in the Invisalign Process?

First, you’ll visit your dentist to see if Invisalign is a good fit for you. Once it’s determined that Invisalign can straighten your teeth, your dental care team will take a detailed image of your teeth and mouth. The images are sent to a lab where your aligners are made.

Lab techs will create a detailed map of your teeth, so you’ll actually be able to see how your teeth will look before you ever wear your aligners.
