Invisalign - Invisible Braces
Invisalign - Invisible Braces
For convenience and ease the Invisalign system has been effective
in giving hundreds of thousands of people amazing new smiles.
Although Invisalign has only been available since 2003, over 500,000 patients have been successfully treated.
Patients are first screened to determine if Invisalign is a viable treatment
option. If the patient is found to be a good candidate, impressions and x-rays
are taken. At the initial seating appointment the patient is provided with
a series of clear plastic aligners. Each is worn approximately 2 weeks,
and then the subsequent aligner is worn. This is repeated until the
treatment is complete. The patient is seen every 2 months during the
active orthodontic treatment phase. Sometimes alterations are made
mid-treatment which may require more frequent visits. The aligners are
made of a medical grade plastic, which is computer generated and custom
fabricated.
