Transform your smile with Invisalign®
Invisalign® clear aligners are a popular choice for many orthodontic patients, and for good reason. Invisalign® allows you to straighten your teeth comfortably and discreetly. Using a series of clear, smooth, plastic aligners, you can watch your smile transform.
Invisalign® uses cutting-edge technology to transform your smile from your very first consultation. Using digital imaging, our orthodontist, Dr. Fedora Katz, can not only show you what your smile currently looks like, but can track every movement needed to get to your final result – a result you’ll be able to see before you even begin your treatment.
What is Invisalign®?
The treatment consists of a series of clear, plastic aligners that are each calibrated to achieve a certain tooth movement. You wear each set for 20-22 hours a day for 7-14 days before switching to the next set. The aligners work to gently guide your teeth to their ideal locations. You’ll visit Dr. Katz at regular intervals throughout your treatment to ensure your smile is progressing as it should.
Invisalign® offers many advantages over the more traditional bracket and wire braces.
- The aligners are designed to be almost invisible in your mouth. The trays are so clear, others may not even realize you’re in orthodontic treatment.
- The aligners are comfortable. There are no brackets or wires to irritate the inside of your mouth. The aligner trays are made of a smooth, BPA-free plastic that sit comfortably over your teeth.
- The aligners are removable. This is one of the biggest advantages for patients. There are no brackets or wires to worry about flossing and brushing around because you can remove the aligners to care for your teeth as usual. And, because they are removed whenever you eat, you can still enjoy all of your favorite foods.
- The aligners are made just for you. Invisalign® is completely custom-designed for each individual patient. Your personalized treatment plan ensures your ideal smile when treatment is completed.
Invisalign® may not be an ideal treatment option for all patients. The best way to determine if you are a candidate for Invisalign® is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Katz.
Invisalign® is a wonderful treatment option for many patients – it’s discrete, comfortable, and can fit into any lifestyle. If you’d like to learn more about Invisalign® and determine if you are a good candidate, call Dr. Katz at 425-490-5098.
