Discreet, Convenient, and Fast Orthodontic Therapy for Adults and Teens
If you’ve ever wanted straighter teeth for a more attractive smile without having to wear obvious metal braces, you’re in great company. Over 15 million patients now enjoy straighter teeth and more attractive smiles because of Invisalign.
A beautiful smile is beneficial to patients of all ages, and Invisalign is a great solution for teenagers who have all their permanent teeth, as well as adults. Invisalign First, a relatively new option, can expand the upper palate and straighten teeth in children as young as six years old.
A poll by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry found that after cosmetic dentistry, people appear more attractive, intelligent, happy, successful, friendly, interesting, kind, wealthy, sensitive to others, and of course, popular with the opposite gender. Another AACD survey found that at any age, a person’s smile is their most attractive feature, dramatically more so than their body, hair, or legs. We also know that next to the eyes, a person’s smile is the first attribute others notice.
Smiles are important!
Invisalign clear orthodontic aligners can correct:
Crooked or misaligned teeth
Wide or uneven spaces
Crowded teeth
Twisted teeth (limited)
Overbite
Underbite
Open bite
Crossbite
Intrusion and extrusion
Midline misalignment
Tooth shape
Narrow palate
SmartForce Attachment
These tiny and barely noticeable attachments help your invisalign braces apply the right amount of force in the right direction, making complex teeth movement possible without traditional metal braces.
SmartTrack Material
The SmartTrack material of invisalign braces provides better fit, better comfort, and makes it easier to insert and remove invisalign than any other invisible braces, moving your teeth more precisely and comfortably.
How It Works
With digital scans of your teeth, certified Invisalign provider Dr. Tun will use special software to create your custom Invisalign treatment plan. The Invisalign lab will fabricate 10 to 48 aligners for you, depending on the complexity of your case.
Next, you’ll receive your clear aligners and instructions on how to use them.
Wear the aligners, in order, for two weeks each or as advised by Dr. Tun. After that time, discard your current aligner and wear the next one.
Keep your aligners in place for 22 hours a day to remain in compliance and reach your treatment completion date on time.
Clean Invisalign aligners with a cleaning crystal or Steraligner™solution.
At check-in appointments with Dr. Tun, she’ll make sure you’re on track for completing treatment on time.
Be sure to also attend your regular checkups and cleanings with your general dentist during Invisalign therapy.
Benefits of Invisalign
Inconspicuous Appearance: Compared to traditional braces, even clear braces, Invisalign offers a superior appearance because of its clear acrylic design. The aligners are virtually invis-ible!
Fast Treatment: Traditional orthodontic treatment takes about 24 months, in most cases. In contrast, Invisalign usually completes in nine to 18 months, if patients comply with usage.
Removable: Remove them to clean your teeth, eat meals, and for special occasions, like photographs and speaking engagements.
Comfort: No wires, brackets, bands, or springs means no poking wires or irritating metal. There is no need for wax, interdental brushes, or adjustment visits, either.
