Invisalign® / Clear Aligners Treatment

Introducing Invisalign® — The Straightest Way to a Great Smile

Invisalign® straightens your teeth without wires and brackets, using a series of clear, customized, removable appliances called aligners. It’s virtually undetectable, which means hardly anyone will know that you’re straightening your teeth.

The Invisalign® system combines advanced 3D computer graphics technology with the 100-year-old science of orthodontics. Invisalign® aligners are designed to move your teeth in small steps to the desired final position prescribed by your orthodontist. Each aligner is precisely calibrated and manufactured to fit your mouth at each stage of the treatment plan.

 

Your first step is to visit our office to determine if Invisalign® is right for you.  We will take a close look at your unique situation and help determine the best way to address your preferences and concerns.

 

After sending precise treatment instructions, Invisalign® uses advanced computer technology to translate these instructions in a sequence of finely calibrated aligners – as few as 12 or as many as 48. Each aligner is worn for about two weeks and only taken out to eat, brush and floss. As you replace each aligner with the next, your teeth will begin to move gradually, week by week, until the final alignment prescribed is attained. Then you'll be smiling like you never have before!

To ensure the best possible results, only an orthodontist who has been trained and certified by Align Technology can diagnose and treat using Invisalign®. Invisalign® is not intended for children and is not appropriate for every adult. Only an orthodontist can determine if this treatment is an effective option for you.

Teenagers are often fond of the Invisalign option, as braces can sometimes bring about self-consciousness issues. Learn more about Invisalign by scheduling a meeting with Dr. Bao today!
