Invisalign®

Plastic aligner systems offer a modern straightening solution that is invisible to the eye. These systems are designed using advanced software and 3D digital models of your teeth. The result is a set of clear plastic trays that are used to achieve your straightening goals. 

These trays are made of medical-grade plastic, so their design avoids the metal appearance of traditional straightening methods. These systems apply gentle pressure to your teeth, which often allows for improved comfort and a shorter duration of treatment. You will receive several plastic trays at a time, so you can switch them out every two weeks.

You can remove these aligner trays for short periods of time as needed. This allows for convenient eating and cleaning. Enjoying favorite foods without the interference of braces can be a relief to some patients. 

Many patients are also surprised by the comfort of these straightening systems. The smooth texture of the plastic offers more comfort for the soft tissue of your cheeks and tongue. 

Since this is a removable system, it may be forgotten or lost. This is something to consider when deciding which straightening system is best for you. 

Ideally, you can consistently wear your trays for at least 22 hours a day. Not only will this help you achieve a straighter smile, but it will also help prevent loss or damage. 

This straightening system works wonders for many adults. Teenagers may also benefit from this treatment with proper oversight. Once you decide aligning trays are the right approach for you, you’ll be thrilled with the ease and quality of your straightening process.
