What is Invisalign®?

Invisalign® is a treatment system using clear aligners to straighten teeth and fix misaligned bites. 

Invisalign aligners use 3D imaging and advanced SmartTrack® technology to calculate the force required to push your teeth without causing pain. Then, they steadily but gently move your teeth into place. 

What conditions can Invisalign treat?

Invisalign clear aligners broadly treat all the same conditions as conventional metal braces, including:

• Overbite
• Underbite 
• Crossbite
• Open bite
• Crooked teeth
• Crowded teeth
• Widely spaced teeth

Invisalign can correct these conditions for people with adult teeth and adolescents and children who still have some baby teeth. 

What are the benefits of Invisalign?

Invisalign is a superior system that offers its wearers many benefits, especially compared to conventional braces. The benefits of Invisalign include the following:

Discretion

Because they’re clear, Invisalign aligners are difficult to spot, so neither your peers or coworkers will notice them. Also, because they snugly hug the crooks and bends of your teeth, they stay in line with your teeth and don’t protrude.

Comfort

Invisalign aligners consist of a smooth, flexible polyurethane (plastic) material that does not cause pain. They are comfortable, unlike metal braces, and don’t cut your gums and the inside of your mouth. Invisalign aligners’ SmartTrack material also prevents pain by gently controlling teeth movement.

Ease of use

Invisalign aligners are also easy to use. They come in and out easily, so you can remove them anytime. 

Fast results

If you wear your Invisalign aligners consistently and as Dr. Schneider recommends, your treatment yields fast results, especially when you compare them to braces.

Is Invisalign correct for me?

To find out if Invisalign is right for you, schedule a consultation at Distinctive Dental. If Dr. Schneider determines that Invisalign can straighten your smile, she takes a 3D image of your teeth, then sends it to a lab.

There, professionals fabricate your Invisalign aligners to your specifications, trimming them to fit over your teeth.

A week or two later, Distinctive Dental supplies you with your aligners. Arriving in multiple sets, you switch them out every two weeks until you achieve your target alignment.
