Orthodontics
Exclusive Invisalign® Provider
Do you wish your teeth were straighter but don’t want to deal with traditional bracket braces? Invisalign® is your solution to a healthier, more aligned smile without the metal. Whether you want to close a front tooth gap or need a more even bite, Invisalign® is a clear, nearly invisible orthodontic option for adults.
Invisalign®
In 3-24 months, Invisalign®’s clear aligners will efficiently and effectively straighten your teeth. Unlike braces, these aligners are clear, removable, comfortable, durable, and barely noticeable.
Not sure if Invisalign® is right for your orthodontic needs? Here are some of our most frequently asked questions.
How Old Do You have to Be to Use Invisalign®?
We treat patients ages 12 and up for Invisalign®.
How Long Does the Invisalign® Treatment Take?
This ultimately depends on the patient. However, typical treatments last between 3 to 24 months. During your first appointment, we’ll be able to give you a better estimate of what your treatment time will be.
Can I Eat With Invisalign® Trays?
No. Patients must commit to wearing aligners 20-22 hours per day. That means you only have a few hours collectively each day to do all the eating and drinking (other than water).
Our Invisalign® Process
We pride ourselves on our implant treatment plan, which includes extensive photography before the procedure to get the coloration, shapes, and other details of your teeth matched for the best final result. Before the procedure, we take photographs of every angle of your teeth to determine the best fit. After Dr. Z makes a plan with Invisalign® for how and when your teeth will move, we’ll create a temporary model so that you can see how your smile will look. You can trust that your goals will be met from initial consultation to the final result with the Invisalign® process. When choosing Invisalign® to straighten your teeth, you can expect the following six-month process:
Step 01
