What is Invisalign®?
- Invisalign® is the invisible and comfortable way
to straighten your teeth without braces.
- We use a series of clear removable aligners to straighten
your teeth without metal wires or brackets.
The Invisalign® process has been proven effective in clinical
research and in orthodontic practices nationwide. However,
only certified dentists like Dr. Patel
can undertake this procedure.
How Does Invisalign® 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 Dr. Patel has
prescribed.
You'll visit us about once every 6 weeks to ensure that your
treatment is progressing as planned.
Total treatment time averages 11 months and the average number
of aligners worn during treatment is between 18 and 30, but both
will vary from case to case.
The aligners are made through a combination of Dr.
Patel's expertise and 3-D computer
imaging technology provided by the Invisalign company.
Don't hesitate to contact us to discuss any aspect of your dental health - we don't charge for giving advice!
