Invisalign
Cleveland, OH
We offer a less abrasive and more affordable option to straighten your teeth.
What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a series of clear plastic aligners molded to fit your teeth in a way that applies constant but gentle pressure, causing your teeth to straighten. They are an orthodontic landmark and a great alternative to metal brackets and wires for someone who has minor to moderate alignment issues.
How They Work
Like braces, Invisalign is designed to move your teeth a little at a time. After digital impressions are taken by your dentist, you will receive a series of plastic aligners to adjust your teeth and gradually shift them into the proper position. It is recommended that you wear your aligners 22 hours each day, removing them only to eat or drink liquids other than water. Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks before moving on to the next set.

The Invisalign Process
01.
Assessment & Imaging
Your dentist will evaluate your overall oral health, then take a series of X-rays, photographs, and impressions of your teeth.
02.
Planning Treatment
Based on your examination and imaging, your dentist can design a custom orthodontic treatment plan. They will then work with the aligner software to develop your clear aligners.
03.
Receive Your Aligners
Once the aligners are created, you will wear them in stages based on your dentist’s recommendation. Because your teeth will be shifting differently with each aligner set, you will periodically visit our office so your dentist can see how you are progressing.
04.
enjoy your new smile
Once you reach the end of the series of aligners, no more aligners are needed. However, just like with braces, you will need to wear a retainer to keep your teeth in place.
