Straighten your teeth without anyone knowing.
Invisalign works by using a series of custom-made, virtually invisible plastic aligners that gradually shift your teeth into the correct position. You wear each set of aligners for about two weeks, then move to the next set. Treatment typically takes 12 to 18 months for most adults, though some cases are shorter. Because the aligners are removable, you eat whatever you want, brush and floss normally, and no one can tell you are straightening your teeth.
How is Invisalign different from traditional braces?
The aligners are nearly invisible, removable, and generally more comfortable than metal braces because there are no brackets or wires to irritate your cheeks. You can eat and drink whatever you want because you take the aligners out for meals. Treatment time is comparable to braces for most cases. Some complex orthodontic issues may still be better suited to traditional braces, which is something Dr. Mitchell will discuss with you at your consultation.
