 Invisalign
What is Invisalign?
Your Invisalign treatment will consist of a series of aligners that you switch out about every two weeks. Each aligner is individually manufactured with exact
calculations to gradually shift your teeth into place. And since your Invisalign system is custom-made for your teeth and your teeth only, with a plan devised by you and
your dentist or orthodontist, you know you'll end up with a smile that truly fits.
 If you're ready for a smile
that transforms your appearance, Invisalign is your answer. Although there are many choices out there, no other works as effortlessly as the Invisalign system.
Invisalign is the best way to transform your smile without interfering with your day-to-day life. Check out the benefits below:
Will it Work for me?
Not only is Invisalign versatile, helping to correct a broad range of dental and orthodontic issues, but it really works. And there are over half a million smiles to
back that up. But a confident smile isn't the only benefit of correcting your dental issues with custom-made Invisalign aligners-your health can be positively impacted as
well. Learn more about several common issues below that we can work with you to correct.
Overly crowded teeth
 This occurs when there is simply a lack of room within your jaw for all of your
teeth to fit normally. When left untreated, overly crowded teeth can cause dental decay, an increase in chances of gum disease, and can prevent the normal function of
teeth.
Widely spaced teeth
 This occurs with abnormal continued growth of the jaw bone. When teeth are missing,
this issue can also be caused by the other teeth shifting due to extra space. Spacing issues in teeth can cause some periodontal diseases.
Crossbite
 This occurs when the upper and lower jaws are both misaligned. It causes one or more upper
teeth to bite on the inside of the lower teeth, and can happen on both the front and/or the sides of the mouth. This issue can cause wear of the teeth, gum disease, and
bone loss.
Overbite
 What people commonly refer to as an "overbite" is known to dental professionals as
"overjet." It occurs when the upper teeth bite over the lower teeth. It's typically caused by either genetics, bad oral habits, or over development of the bone that
supports the teeth. This issue can lead to gum problems or irritation, and/or wear on the lower teeth and can cause painful jaw and joint problems.
Underbite
 This occurs when the lower teeth protrude past the front teeth. It's usually caused by
undergrowth of the upper jaw, overgrowth of the lower jaw, or both. It can also be caused by missing upper teeth. This issue can prevent the normal function of front
teeth or molars which can lead to tooth wear. It can also cause painful jaw and joint problems.
We will work with you to create a custom-designed program that will treat your specific dental or orthodontic issue(s). Your treatment program will consist of a full
set of aligners, made for you, and only you. While it's important that you visit an experienced Invisalign doctor to see how well Invisalign fits your specific needs, you
can get a head-start now by taking our self assessment.
And of course, there are other considerations when making the decision to straighten your teeth. Think about how Invisalign can fit in your life by providing a
virtually-invisible option to getting the smile you want.
