Invisible Invisalign
Straight teeth without the braces
You know you need braces but you don’t want the hassle and visibility
of regular orthodontic appliances. Will your teeth always be crooked? With
Invisalign, you can get the beautiful straight teeth you've always
wanted – without braces. Just ask Drs. Terry or John McDonald for a complimentary
consultation to determine if Invisalign is right for you.
What is it?
Invisalign uses a series of invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners
that no one can tell you're wearing. A separate Invisalign aligner is made
for each stage of your program, gently shaping your teeth into alignment. These
aligners are custom made to Drs. Terry and John’s specifications using
sophisticated, 3-D computer imaging technology.
Why would I want it?
Not only are the aligners invisible, they are removable, so you can eat and
drink what you want and brush and floss without hassle. They are also comfortable,
with no metal to cause mouth abrasions during treatment.
How does it work?
You wear each set of aligners for about 2 weeks, removing them only to eat,
drink, brush, and floss. As you replace each aligner with the next in the series,
your teeth will move – little by little, week by week – until they
have straightened to the final position Drs. Terry or John McDonald has prescribed.
You'll visit us about once every 6 weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing
as planned. Total treatment time averages 9-15 months and the average number
of aligners worn during treatment is between 18 and 30, but both will vary
from case to case.
