A popular option for
straightening teeth at our practice, Invisalign can be a great option for
improving your smile, and can help patients with conditions including crowded
teeth, crossbites, overbites, underbites and more.
Invisalign achieves
orthodontic transformation in a different way from traditional braces. It does
so by applying a series of clear, retainer-like aligners in order to gradually
move your teeth into their ideal positions. As treatment progresses, patients
typically swap aligners approximately every couple of weeks.
We have lots of
experience using this state-of-the-art technology to give our patients the
beautiful and healthy smile they've always wanted. During your initial visit,
the first thing we do is take an impression of your teeth as they are now and
digitize it. Using special software, we look at the current positioning of your
teeth and compare it to the way your teeth should look. Invisalign also allows
you to view your own virtual treatment plan when you start, so you can see how
your straight teeth will look when your treatment is complete!
Not only are the aligners
invisible, they are also removable, so you can eat and drink what you want. As
important, brushing and flossing is easier with Invisalign than with
traditional dental braces through a Mill Hill dentist. Invisalign's aligners are also comfortable, with no metal
to cause mouth abrasions during your treatment. And, no metal and wires usually
means you spend less time at our office getting adjustments.
Depending on the severity
of the problem, Invisalign treatment may take anywhere from three to 18 months
to complete. You should be aware that Invisalign is not as effective as
traditional braces in treating bite problems, teeth that are lower or higher
than others, or severely overcrowded teeth. Both teens and adults are now great
candidates for Invisalign, so we invite you to give us a call to set up an
initial consultation and learn more on how Invisalign can give you the smile
you've always wanted!
