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 an Invisalign Preferred Provider, we are constantly working toward treating more complex cases with Invisalign than ever before. Read on to find out if Invisalign is the right orthodontic treatment for you!
Invisalign is our clear solution to straightening your teeth without anyone knowing. Invisalign uses a series of customized, removable clear aligners. These appliances are virtually invisible, which means no brackets, wires, or elastic bands are involved.
Invisalign uses 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.
Invisalign has 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 of Invisalign and Invisalign Teen include:
As noted above, we are an Invisalign Preferred Provider, which means we see and treat Invisalign patients all the time. To ensure the best possible results, only an orthodontist who has been trained and certified by Align Technology can diagnose and treat using Invisalign.
You may find a general dentist who offers Invisalign, but our orthodontists have received three additional years of training focused on the job of straightening teeth and perfecting your bite. As a result, the Invisalign experience will be far different with a certified orthodontist monitoring and guiding your treatment, and knowing just which adjustments are required to achieve a beautiful, healthy smile.
