Misaligned teeth present both an aesthetic and functional problem in the mouth. The issue can impact your smile, but also affects the function of your overall bite, which in turn causes jaw pain, stiff neck &shoulders, and headaches. A corrected bite will keep the jaw and adjacent parts of the head and neck in in proper position – thereby minimizing ailments.
With the Invisalign® system, a series of clear, plastic aligners are used to gradually reposition your teeth. Unlike traditional metal braces, an Invisalign® retainer is virtually invisible. This allows our patients to achieve straight, beautiful new smiles without the bulky, metallic look of traditional braces. And since Invisalign® retainers are removable at any time – eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing can be done without having them in the mouth – making oral hygiene far easier to maintain.
The process involves custom-designed clear aligners that are replaced every two weeks. Treatment time generally ranges 6 to 18 months, and the cost is comparable to that of most other cosmetic treatments.
