Invisalign® Tooth Straightening Information for Patients

Want Straight, Healthy Teeth and a Confident Smile?
Invisalign can be your path to clearly beautiful pearly whites.

Getting your teeth straightened isn't just for teenagers anymore. Like many adults, you have probably wanted to straighten your teeth. Our teeth tend to get slightly crooked over time, especially if we wore braces as kids but stopped wearing our retainer at some point. Straightening your teeth as an adult may seem to be an impossible dream, and you've got a long list of reasons why you can't do it. "I don't want metal braces at my age," or "It'll be too much trouble," or "It'll take too long," and—everyone's old favorite—"It'll be too expensive."

1. "I don't want metal braces at my age." With Invisalign, you don't wear metal braces. Instead, your teeth are straightened by wearing a series of virtually invisible plastic aligners. Almost no one can tell you've got the aligners on (unless you tell them).
2. "It'll be too much trouble."Treatment with Invisalign is easy. You'll receive a series of clear aligners, which you'll wear for about two weeks at a time. You wear them all the time, except when you're eating, drinking anything but water, brushing, and flossing.
3. "It'll take too long." We can't tell you exactly how long treatment will take. But Invisalign treatment takes, on average, about one year.
4. "It'll be too expensive." Invisalign treatment is often similar in cost to traditional braces. In addition, if you have orthodontic coverage, Invisalign is often covered to the same extent as traditional braces.

You're Never Too Old for Invisalign
It's the clearly beautiful way to straighten your teeth—at any age.

Like many adults, you might feel that your teeth aren't as straight and healthy-looking as you wish they were. You may have worn braces as a teenager, but because you stopped wearing your retainer at some point, your teeth have relapsed over time. So now they're a little crooked—doctors call this "malocclusion." It's a very common problem among adults.

You've probably seen ads for Invisalign aligners—the clear way to straighten teeth and create a healthy smile. It's safe, easy, and relatively quick—the average treatment lasts about one year. And, because the aligners are virtually clear, almost no one can tell you're in treatment unless you tell them. By using a series of clear, removable aligners, Invisalign straightens your teeth right before your eyes. Change the aligners about every two weeks and your teeth will move, little by little, toward the smile you've always wanted–one that everyone can see!

Invisalign aligners are comfortable to wear, and don't require you to change your busy lifestyle. You will visit our office every month or two to check your progress and get a new set of aligners. Because the aligners are removable, you can continue to eat your favorite foods while brushing and flossing normally to keep your teeth and gums healthy.

Be one of the many patients we have treated who are enjoying their new smiles. Call our office today for a free consultation—don't wait another day to give yourself the gift of straight, healthy, beautiful teeth!
