What is Invisalign?

Invisalign uses a series of customized, clear aligners to straighten your teeth more quickly and with fewer office visits than traditional braces. Thousands of orthodontists across the United States and Canada trust Invisalign to treat their patients effectively. The aligners offer several advantages:

  • Completely Invisible: Invisalign aligners are virtually undetectable while you’re wearing them. Your friends, family, and colleagues might never even realize you’re undergoing orthodontic treatment!

  • Comfortable to Wear: Made from special smooth plastic, Invisalign aligners are gentle on your mouth and tissues, avoiding the irritation often caused by traditional braces.

  • Customized Just for You: Using advanced 3-D imaging technology, Dr. Yu creates a precise impression of your mouth and teeth. Each aligner is then custom-made to fit your unique dental structure, gradually moving your teeth into their ideal position.

  • Removable: Unlike traditional braces, you can easily remove your aligners to eat, drink, brush, floss, and even for special occasions. Invisalign seamlessly fits into your lifestyle without the restrictions of metal braces.

  • Effective: You’ll start noticing positive changes in your smile even before your treatment is complete. While most treatments are finished within a year, this timeline can vary depending on individual cases.

Why Consider Invisalign?

More and more people are choosing Invisalign over traditional braces. Here’s why:

  • Discreet Treatment: Enjoy a straighter, healthier smile without the noticeable wires and brackets of traditional braces.

  • Flexibility: Since Invisalign aligners are removable, you can continue enjoying your favorite foods without worrying about damaging your braces. Maintaining your oral hygiene routine is also easier.

  • Maintain Your Lifestyle: Invisalign allows you to keep up with your daily activities without any major adjustments. It’s perfect for professionals, athletes, brides, and busy parents.

  • Convenient Appointments: Office visits are quick, easy, and painless, with fewer appointments needed throughout your treatment.

How Does Invisalign Work?

Your Invisalign journey begins with receiving several sets of custom-fit aligners. Each set is worn for just 1-2 weeks before moving on to the next, with each new aligner gently shifting your teeth closer to their final position. The changes are so subtle that you’ll hardly feel them, yet over time, you’ll notice a significant transformation in the alignment of your teeth. In just a few months, you’ll be on your way to enjoying a straighter, healthier smile!
