Invisalign takes a modern approach to straightening teeth, using a custom-made series of aligners created for you and only you. These aligners are made of smooth, comfortable and virtually invisible plastic that you simply wear over your teeth. Wearing the aligners will gradually and gently move your teeth into the precise positions Dr. Statler has prescribed for you.
Not only are the aligners invisible, they are removable so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment. Plus, brushing and flossing are no problem. They are also comfortable, with no metal and wires to cause any irritation. And you will spend less time in our office for your appointments.
Invisalign allows you to view your own virtual treatment plan when you start so you can see how your straight teeth will look when your treatment is complete.
You wear each set of aligners for about 2 weeks, removing only to eat, drink, brush and floss. As you replace each aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will move – little by little, week by week – until they have straightened to their final positions.
You’ll visit our office about once every 6-8 weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned. Total treatment time averages 9-15 months and the average number of aligners worn during treatment is between 18-30, but both will vary from case to case.
One of the best things about Invisalign is that no one will even know you are straightening your teeth. So you can smile a lot during treatment as well as when your final orthodontic result of a fabulous smile is achieved.
