Orthodontics by Birth & Fletcher

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign® is a system of clear aligners made of almost invisible polyurethane plastic that are made especially for your bite. Over time and through a series of aligners your orthodontist will deliver to you, your teeth will be straightened and maneuvered into their correct positions. Invisalign® clear aligners are removable instead of being cemented or bonded to your teeth like traditional braces. That means you’ll be able to take them out to eat, brush your teeth, floss or for social occasions. Other advantages of using the Invisalign® system include:

• Improved Oral Hygiene — Since Invisalign® is removable, you can clean your teeth much more easily and thoroughly than if you were wearing metal braces.
• A Discreet Look — If you consider orthodontic treatment to be a private matter, or simply feel that metal braces don’t fit with your self-image, the invisibility of Invisalign® may be right for you.
• More Dietary Choices — With traditional braces, some dietary modifications are necessary in order to protect the wires and brackets. Because you can remove your Invisalign® aligners, you can eat anything you like!
• Comfort — The soft, flexible material that Invisalign® aligners are made of should not irritate the inside of your mouth like metal braces can. Additionally, there is less need for adjustments and most patients say they experience a lot less soreness.
• Teeth-Grinding Protection — If you have a teeth-grinding or clenching habit, clear aligners can function as thin night-guards that will protect your teeth from excessive wear.
• Faster, more efficient treatment

How Does Invisalign Work?

All orthodontic treatments work in a similar way in that the differing methods apply carefully controlled forces to teeth to move them into their correct positions.

Your orthodontist will utilize specialized computer software to design a plan for moving your teeth into the best possible alignment. Each movement step will be broken down into several dozen stages, more or less. For each stage, two sets of plastic aligners will be manufactured, one for your top row of teeth and one for the bottom. Each set of trays will be worn for one or two weeks, for a minimum of 22 hours each day. As your teeth begin the process of repositioning, we will move you through the next set of aligners, about once every one or two weeks until your teeth have been moved correctly into place.
