What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment using clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth. It includes:
- Clear Aligners: Virtually invisible trays custom-made for your teeth.
- Digital Planning: 3D imaging to map out your treatment plan.
- Removable Design: Aligners can be taken out for eating, drinking, and brushing.
Why Is Invisalign Important?
- Discreet Treatment: Clear aligners are nearly invisible, ideal for adults and teens.
- Improved Comfort: Smooth plastic aligners are more comfortable than metal braces.
- Better Oral Health: Straight teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of decay and gum disease.
Types of Invisalign Treatments
We offer various Invisalign options to suit your needs:
- Invisalign Full: Comprehensive treatment for complex alignment issues.
- Invisalign Lite: Shorter treatment for minor alignment corrections.
- Invisalign Teen: Designed for younger patients with features like compliance indicators.
