Invisalign Treatment 

Invisalign is a revolutionary orthodontic treatment that uses clear, removable aligners to straighten your teeth. It is a popular alternative to traditional metal braces because it is more discreet and comfortable. Invisalign aligners are made of a thin, flexible plastic material that fits snugly over your teeth. They are virtually invisible, so you can straighten your smile without anyone knowing. 

Invisalign treatment works by gradually moving your teeth into their desired positions. You will wear a new set of aligners for about two weeks at a time, and your teeth will move slightly each time you change to a new set. The average treatment time for Invisalign can vary depending on the severity of your case.

How does Invisalign treatment work? 

During your initial consultation, we will take a digital scan of your teeth. This scan will be used to create a custom treatment plan for you. Your treatment plan will show you how your teeth will move over the course of treatment and how long your treatment will last. 

Once your treatment plan is created, all the costs pertaining tot the treatment will be discussed in detail. Once you approve, you will receive your first set of Invisalign aligners. You will wear your aligners for 22 hours a day, every day. You will only remove your aligners to eat, drink, and brush your teeth. 

Every two weeks, you will change to a new set of aligners. Your teeth will gradually move into their desired positions each time you change to a new set of aligners.
