Invisalign: The Clear Choice for a Bright Smile


What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually straighten teeth. These aligners are custom-made for each patient, ensuring a perfect fit and optimal results.


How Does Invisalign Work?

The Invisalign system involves wearing a set of aligners for about two weeks before switching to the next set in the series. Each set of aligners is designed to make slight adjustments to the position of the teeth, moving them incrementally towards the desired alignment. Patients typically wear their aligners for 20-22 hours per day, removing them only for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing.


Benefits of Invisalign for Kids


  • Comfort:  Invisalign aligners are smooth and comfortable, without the metal brackets and wires that can cause irritation in traditional braces.
  • Aesthetics:  The clear aligners are nearly invisible, making them a popular choice for kids who are self-conscious about wearing braces.
  • Convenience:  Aligners can be removed for eating and cleaning, allowing kids to enjoy their favorite foods and maintain good oral hygiene.
  • Predictable Results:  Invisalign treatment plans are designed using advanced 3D imaging technology, providing a clear picture of the expected outcome and treatment duration.

Is My Child a Candidate for Invisalign?

Invisalign is suitable for a wide range of orthodontic issues, including overcrowding, gaps, and certain bite problems. Our orthodontic team will assess your child's dental needs and determine if Invisalign is the right option during a comprehensive consultation.


Caring for Invisalign Aligners

Maintaining Invisalign aligners is simple. Patients should brush and rinse their aligners daily to keep them clean and free from bacteria. It's also important to store aligners in their protective case when not in use to prevent loss or damage.
