Invisalign

Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth without the need for metal or ceramic braces at Perry Family Dentistry. Invisalign has quickly become the most popular orthodontic treatment for patients who do not wish to wear metal or clear braces. Wearing Invisalign will gradually shift your teeth into the proper positions using custom-made, clear plastic aligners.

Invisalign can treat the following dental issues:

Underbite

Overbite

Spacing

Crowding

Crossbite

Open bite

Invisalign’s clear aligners blend seamlessly with your lifestyle and everyday interactions. The Invisalign aligners can also be removed. The aligners allow you to eat and drink as you please during treatment, unlike braces. Additionally, you can remove the Invisalign aligners to floss and when brushing your teeth to maintain good oral hygiene and fresh breath.

Invisalign is an excellent solution for children and adults who wish to have a straighter smile without letting everyone know they are wearing braces. Invisalign can correct a wide range of common teeth-straightening and bite issues in a shorter amount of time.

No. Because Invisalign aligners can be removed, you can eat anything, including hard foods, without worrying about damaging your teeth. However, you must clean your teeth and gums properly after eating and before putting your aligners back on.

Invisalign aligners must be worn 20 – 22 hours a day. Invisalign could take as little as six months for simple cases, but the average is 12 to 18 months.
