Invisalign®

A complimentary consultation with our orthodontist, Dr. Gittess, can determine if Invisalign clear aligners are right for you. Consider Invisalign clear aligners to get the beautiful straight teeth you’ve always wanted — without showing metal braces!

Invisalign® treatment straightens your teeth by using a series of clear, customized, removable appliances called aligners. It’s virtually undetectable, which means hardly anyone will know that you’re straightening your teeth.

Invisalign can treat various dental problems, like crowding, misalignment, and spaces between the teeth. It can also cure mild to moderate bite issues. However, for severe cases, orthodontists generally prefer traditional braces.

Invisalign treatment uses a series of virtually invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners that allow you to smile more during treatment as well as after. First, we scan your teeth with our iTero Technology, which scans your teeth digitally to send them to our Invisalign laboratory. Invisalign clear aligners are made with 3D computer imaging technology and have been proven effective. Once these are created uniquely for you, we’ll set up an appointment to deliver your first batch of aligners!. More than 70% of orthodontists in the US are certified to administer Invisalign treatment.

You wear each set of Invisalign aligners for about two weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. As you replace each aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will move — each week, little by little — until they have aligned to their final positions. You’ll visit Dr. Gittess about once every six weeks to ensure that your treatment progresses as planned. Total treatment time averages 9 to 15 months, and the average number of aligners worn during treatment is between 18 and 30, but both will vary from case to case.

Invisalign is one of the best ways to straighten your teeth; it will help align your teeth without anyone noticing the same. There are several advantages of this equipment like:

• One of the best things about Invisalign is, it is completely clear and invisible, so you will be able to straighten your teeth without anyone noticing it. Invisalign is an excellent option for people who are concerned about their aesthetics.
• Being made of smooth plastic, Invisalign is very comfortable to wear. They can be customized according to your mouth.
• Easy to remove, you can clean your Invisalign trays easily. Also, with these trays, it will become easier to maintain your oral hygiene. It helps in keeping your gums healthy while aligning your teeth.
• With Invisalign, you will have to spend less time at your orthodontist’s office than other orthodontic treatments.
• You will not have restrictions on eating your favorite foods with Invisalign. You can remove it and eat anything you like.
• Finally, Invisalign will help you get straighter teeth.

To ensure the best possible results, only an orthodontist who has been trained and certified by Align Technology can diagnose and treat using Invisalign. Invisalign treatment is not intended for children and is not appropriate for every adult. Only an orthodontist can determine if this treatment is an effective option for you.

Not only are the aligners virtually invisible, but they are also removable, so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment. Plus, brushing and flossing are no problem. They are also more comfortable than traditional braces, with no metal or wires, which usually means you spend less time in your doctor’s office getting adjustments. Invisalign treatment also allows you to view your virtual treatment plan when you start so you can see how your straight teeth will look when your treatment is complete.
