Invisalign
 

By using a series of clear, removable aligners, Invisalign straightens your teeth with results you'll notice sooner than you think. The course of treatment involves changing aligners approximately every two weeks, moving your teeth into straighter position step by step, until you have a more beautiful smile. And unlike braces, these clear aligners can be removed while you eat and brush your teeth as usual.

An average Invisalign course of treatment takes about a year. You'll see your Invisalign Certified Orthodontist or Dentist every 6 to 8 weeks for adjustments and to check progress. At regular intervals, you'll receive a new set of custom-molded clear aligners to continue the straightening process. The total number of clear aligners is specific to you, determined by your doctor for your course of treatment.

Since Invisalign is practically invisible, there's no unwarranted attention to your mouth. In fact, very few people will notice at all - unless you tell them. They're comfortable to wear and remove easily when you eat, brush, and floss.

All across the country, people like you now have great smiles and straighter teeth, thanks to Invisalign. Make sure you ask a friendly staff at Dr. Partovy's office.

How Invisalign can improve the health of your mouth?

Teeth that are crowded or too widely spaced can create unhealthy conditions, including swollen gums, redness and pocketing, all of which are signs of periodontal disease. As Invisalign invisibly straightens your teeth, it can also do great things for the health of your mouth.

Healthier Gums

Clinical studies have shown that gum health may improve with the use of Invisalign during orthodontic treatment?. Properly aligned teeth can help gums "fit" tighter around each tooth?, which may lead to better periodontal health. Unlike braces, with Invisalign, you can brush and floss normally, which can help prevent tooth decay and periodontal disease.

Easier Cleanings

Unlike traditional orthodontics or braces, Invisalign has no metal bands or wires to trap food and plaque. Maintaining a good oral hygiene program will also reduce chances of plaque buildup, tooth decay and periodontal disease.

Improved Chewing and Speech

For some people, incorrectly positioned teeth and jaws can exacerbate speech difficulties and chewing problems. Correcting your bite by straightening your teeth can help improve both.

Lower Risk of Trauma and Abnormal Wear

Properly aligned teeth can be less stressful on supporting bone and jaw joints.

Watch your teeth change right before your eyes......

State-of-the-art advances in dental science and technology are now available to you with Invisalign. When you see what's involved, you'll know why Invisalign is a great step forward in straightening teeth.

1. An Invisalign Certified Orthodontist or Dentist evaluates and creates a program of treatment. Photos and impressions of your teeth are taken.
2. A CT scan (Computed Tomography or CAT scan), is made from your dental impressions. The CT scan produces an extremely accurate, 3-dimensional digital model of your teeth.
 
3. CAD (Computer Aided Design) software is then used to simulate the movement of your teeth during treatment.
4. Your doctor reviews, modifies, and approves the treatment plan before the aligners are created.
 
5. Invisalign then uses advanced stereolithography (SLA) technology to build precise molds of your teeth at each stage of your treatment.
 
6. Individualized, custom-created clear aligners are made from these models and sent to your doctor's office.
 
7. You'll wear each aligner for approximately two weeks. Your doctor will monitor your progress until you have a wonderful smile.
