Invisalign: The Clear Alternative To Braces

    Crowding and spacing of teeth can now be straightened using "invisible braces" called Invisalign. The Invisalign process entails wearing a thin, clear plastic sheath that fits snugly over the patient's teeth. Through a series of these customized trays, called aligners, teeth are gently pushed into a more desirable location. This provides our patients an incredible alternative to traditional, metal braces when used in the appropriate situations. Esthetically, the clear Invisalign aligner is unsurpassed, as your friends and family may not even know you are wearing your customized aligner. Comfort is another advantage. The Invisalign process is less painful than traditional braces, and you do not have to continually return to tighten the wires. There is also a distinct hygiene advantage. The trays are taken out during eating and brushing. This allows you to completely clean your teeth and floss daily, which can reduce the risk of new cavities or the development of periodontal disease.
