Invisalign

If you want orthodontic treatment to achieve a beautiful smile but you dislike the idea of having brackets on your teeth, Invisalign would be a good option for you. Invisalign straightens teeth without braces.

Some advantages of Invisalign treatment are:

• It’s virtually invisible.
• There are no food restrictions.
• Brushing and flossing your teeth is easy.
• There are no brackets or wires to irritate your mouth.

Invisalign is basically a treatment system consisting of several transparent plastic trays that fit directly over your teeth. When you begin Invisalign treatment, you’ll receive a complete set of trays, each one a little different that are meant to be worn in a specific order. You switch out the trays every two weeks. They guide your teeth in their movements, and the last tray conforms to how your teeth positioning will eventually end up.

To begin Invisalign treatment, the staff at Current Orthodontics will perform a complete examination of your mouth. A computer program uses images from x-rays and impressions to create a 3D-digital model of your bite and the existing positions of your teeth. This 3D model is then digitally manipulated into your ideal bite. We send off your records to the company that makes Invisalign, and they create and send back your personalized Invisalign trays.

Invisalign is an appropriate and effective treatment for many patients but it is not applicable for every orthodontic problem. Come in to Current Orthodontics for a free consultation and we’ll help you decide if Invisalign treatment is right for you.
