We know the wires and brackets found in traditional braces aren’t for everyone, which is why we are thrilled to offer Invisalign clear aligners. As Clear Aligner Preferred Provider, we are constantly working toward treating more complex cases with Invisalign than ever before. Read on to find out if a Clear Aligner is the right orthodontic treatment for you!
A Clear Aligner is our clear solution to straightening your teeth without anyone knowing. Clear Aligners use a series of customized, removable clear aligners. These appliances are virtually invisible, which means no brackets, wires, or elastic bands are involved.
Clear Aligners use the latest in cutting-edge orthodontic technology to move your teeth into the position designated by
Dr. Baskin, Dr. Mershon, Dr. Hoelz, or Dr. Baumgartner. Using special computerized imaging, we create a treatment plan that will be used to make a series of customized aligners that you’ll wear for two weeks at a time for a minimum of 20 hours per day.
After two weeks, you’ll move on to the next aligner in the series and repeat the process until your treatment is complete.
During your treatment, you may be prescribed as few as 12 aligners or as many as 48. Treatment time also differs among patients, but it generally falls between 6 and 15 months.
Clear Aligners have a number of advantages. Because the aligners are removable, you can still brush and floss regularly. You can also take your aligners out to eat, which means you don’t have to sacrifice your favorite foods.
Some other advantages include:
