The Perfect Alternative to Traditional Braces
Clear aligners have made orthodontics a more attractive option for patients of all ages. They provide a comfortable, flexible, and discrete method for moving teeth. Aligners also allow easy access for routine brushing and flossing. While some orthodontic movements are more predictable with fixed appliances (braces), Invisalign© can correct a wide variety of tooth alignment and bite problems. The key to this approach is patient compliance— wearing the aligners 20-22 hours per day. Aligners are changed every 1-2 weeks for efficient and safe treatment progress. Our approach to clear aligner treatment is entirely digital and provides you with a virtual model of what your smile could look like!
We are also excited to offer Invisalign’s cutting-edge alternative for palatal expansion. Invisalign recently released the Invisalign Palatal Expander*. When the appropriate clinical conditions are present, this removable appliance can provide an alternative to traditional fixed expanders for growing children (approximately 6-11 years old). This means no screws or turning! Just like clear aligners, patient and parent compliance is critical for successful outcomes.
