Invisalign®

Orchard House Dental Practice

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is the virtually invisible way to straighten your teeth and
achieve the smile you’ve always dreamed of. Using advanced 3D
computer-imaging technology, Invisalign depicts your complete
treatment plan based on your Invisalign Provider’s prescription,
from the initial position of your teeth to the final desired position.
Then a series of clear aligners are custom-made for your teeth –
and your teeth only – to move them little by little. Each aligner is
worn for 1-2 weeks before being replaced by the next in the series,
gradually moving towards the projected final position. Your Invisalign
treatment time will be determined by your Invisalign Provider, based
on your specific needs.

What are the benefits of Invisalign?

Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible. No one may even notice
that you’re wearing these virtually invisible aligners, making Invisalign
a seamless fit with your lifestyle and day-to-day interactions
with others.

Invisalign aligners are removable giving you the flexibility to eat
and drink what you want during treatment by simply removing
the aligners. And you can also remove the aligners to brush and
floss as you normally would for fresh breath and to maintain good
oral hygiene.

Unlike traditional fixed braces, there are no metal brackets or wires.
This means that in most cases less time is spent in your Invisalign
Provider’s practice for adjustments.

And finally, Invisalign allows you to view your virtual results and
treatment plan before you even begin treatment so you can see how
your teeth are expected to look when your treatment is complete.
