Invisalign

Instead of using wires and brackets, Invisalign will straighten your teeth with a series of clear, custom-designed, and removable appliances called aligners. The aligners are virtually undetectable and created to move your teeth in small increments into the desired final position. Perfectly customized to fit your mouth, you wear each aligner for one week — for desired results, you can only take it out to eat, brush and floss.

Using a digital imaging scanner called iTero Element, we create a 3D image of your teeth in just a few minutes. This scan informs us to create the customized shape for your aligners

Next, we use software called ClinCheck to design the digital treatment plan directly from your scans. We can create the entire plan — from your first set of aligners to your beautiful new smile all by using this software.

Invisalign aligners are created from a material called SmartTrack. They are very comfortable, almost invisible, and easy to put in and take out. The SmartTrack material has been proven to apply a gentle, comfortable, pressure to your teeth in order to help shift them to the desired position.

We are able to make complex shifts to the position of your teeth without the use of traditional braces using Invisalign attachments called SmartForce. These are small tooth-colored pieces that connect to your teeth during treatment. Your aligners can fit snugly around the Invisalign attachments and this gives your aligners a little something extra to gently push on. Quick Note: These attachments are not necessary in every treatment plan.

Once treatment with your aligners is completed, we create a retainer within our offices so that we can keep your smile in place. These retainers are as clear as the aligners, and they maintain a healthy smile without noticing anything over your teeth.
