A Smile Can Change Everything

A beautiful smile can make a world of difference – boosting your confidence, changing your outlook, and enhancing your quality of life. With Invisalign®, achieving the smile you’ve always envisioned is now possible without conventional braces. In fact, it can seamlessly integrate into your daily routine without causing any major disruptions.

Invisalign® works by straightening teeth through a series of nearly invisible, custom-made aligners. Every week, you’ll swap out your aligners, seeing your teeth shift gradually towards their projected final position.

Comfortable, clear, and removable – Invisalign® is designed to enhance your smile without interrupting your life. Join the 9 million people worldwide who have already discovered the transformative power of Invisalign®.

The

Process

Treatment Planning and Simulation

Before embarking on your Invisalign® journey, your Invisalign® provider will take a detailed scan of your teeth to determine their suitability for the treatment. Once confirmed, a personalized treatment plan will be proposed using ClinCheck®, a cutting-edge virtual 3D treatment planning software. ClinCheck® offers you a glimpse into the future, illustrating the sequence of movements your teeth are projected to undergo throughout the treatment. This means you can visualize the anticipated outcome of your Invisalign® treatment even before it starts.

Active Treatment

At your delivery appointment, we may introduce custom clear attachments to optimize the force applied by the aligners to each tooth, facilitating faster and more efficient movement. As you commence your Invisalign® Treatment, each set of tailor-made aligners will be worn in weekly increments. Progressing through this series, your teeth will shift, gradually moving towards the envisioned final position. Throughout this transformative journey, regular check-ups with your Invisalign® provider will ensure that you are comfortable and on track. In some instances, especially with more complex cases, the use of elastics may be recommended at certain stages. Rest assured, our practice will provide you with the necessary elastics and clear instructions to ensure a smooth and successful treatment experience.

Retention

The time it takes to complete the treatment varies from person to person, depending on the complexity of each case. It is important to speak with your Invisalign® Provider to determine how Invisalign® best suits your situation and goals, and to agree on the best way forward for you.
