We make it possible to correct various orthodontic issues without disrupting your daily life.

The Science Behind the Smile: Our Advanced Invisalign® Technology

Your successful orthodontic treatment starts with precision planning, utilizing the latest dental technology. At your initial complimentary Invisalign consultation (or orthodontic consultation), we conduct a comprehensive smile assessment to fully understand your dental needs and orthodontic cases.

Precision Planning with 3D Technology

We use the state-of-the-art iTero intraoral scanner, a highly accurate digital scanner or 3D scanner, to create a perfect digital X-ray impression of your teeth and gums. This replaces uncomfortable traditional molds. This data is then processed using 3D computer imaging technology to craft your detailed virtual treatment plan. You will even be able to view your virtual results, seeing the expected movement of your teeth from their current position to their final positions before treatment even begins. This ensures you are fully aligned with your treatment plans. This level of precision allows for comprehensive correction of even complex orthodontic issues.

Customized Clear Aligners

Based on this plan, a series of customized clear removable aligners are fabricated. These are high-quality appliances made from a patented, durable polyurethane plastic.  These computer-designed clear aligners are designed to apply gentle, consistent pressure to guide your teeth. You will wear each set for about one to two weeks before progressing to the next, slowly but surely achieving correction to tooth alignment issues. Our team provides focused updates throughout your process to monitor progress efficiently.

What Can Invisalign® Correct?

Invisalign® is an effective orthodontic treatment for a wide array of dental issues and orthodontic cases that typically require metal braces. Our certified Invisalign® provider specializes in correcting:

Crowded TeethCorrecting overlap caused by a lack of space.

Teeth MisalignmentStraightening crooked or rotated teeth.

Bite concernsAddressing issues such as deep overbite, underbite, crossbite, and open bite to improve overall function. Invisalign® can be highly effective for a wide range of common bite concerns.

GapsClosing noticeable spaces between teeth.

We also address related concerns. For instance, correcting teeth misalignment and bite issues can often improve symptoms related to teeth grinding (bruxism) and, in some cases, can be part of a broader treatment plan to manage issues like mild sleep apnea when tooth position is a contributing factor. For specific alignment needs, our general dentist may incorporate procedures such as I.P.R. (enamel reshaping), a conservative technique to create small amounts of space between teeth.

Life With Clear Aligners: Comfort, Convenience, and Oral Health

Choosing clear aligners means selecting a treatment method that fits seamlessly into your life, unlike traditional wire braces.

Freedom and Flexibility

Invisalign® allows for maximum flexibility. Because the orthodontic device is removable, there are no diet restrictions, you simply remove the aligners for eating and drinking (except water). Furthermore, maintaining optimal oral hygiene is straightforward. You can brush and floss normally without navigating bulky wires and brackets. To keep your aligners clean and clear, we recommend using special crystals or even a denture cleaner. For active patients, the aligners can be removed easily, allowing you to wear a customized sports mouth guard for protection during physical activity.

Treatment Outline and Experience

While the average treatment time varies depending on the complexity of your orthodontic cases, most issues take between 6 and 18 months, often significantly faster than metal braces. For our younger patients, Invisalign® Teen aligners include small compliance indicators (often small blue dots) that fade with use, helping teens and parents ensure the aligners are worn the recommended 20-22 hours per day. This version may also include eruption tabs to accommodate erupting adult teeth.
