What is Invisalign?
The Invisalign system is the virtually invisible way to straighten your teeth and achieve the dazzling smile you’ve always dreamed of. Using advanced 3-D computer-imaging technology, Invisalign depicts your complete treatment plan, from the initial position of your teeth to the final desired position. Then a series of clear aligners are custom-made for your teeth and your teeth only to move them little by little. Each aligner is worn for about two weeks before being replaced by the next in the series, until the final position of your teeth is achieved. Your Invisalign treatment time will be determined by your doctor, based on your specific needs.
Invisalign is commonly referred to clear or invisible braces. Unlike normal tradition braces no brackets or wires are required. Clear “aligners” are worn in sequence to sequentially move your teeth from their current position to a new-programmed position. Molds, photos and other records are taken and discussed with you, sent to align technologies and a plan is made with the treatment objectives. The results are discussed with you prior to initiation of treatment and the best thing is you get to see and estimated end goal of how your teeth will look at the end of treatment.
Dr. Nazarov Is a Certified Invisalign Provider Consider Invisalign to get the beautiful straight teeth you’ve always wanted – without braces. A complimentary consultation with Dr. Nazarov can determine if Invisalign is right for you. Invisalign uses a series of invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners that no one can tell you’re wearing. So you can smile more during treatment as well as after. Invisalign is made with 3-D computer imaging technology, and has been proven effective. Not only are the aligners invisible, they are removable, so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment, plus brushing and flossing are no problem. And no metal and wires usually means you spend less time in your doctor’s office getting adjustments. Invisalign also allows you to view your own virtual treatment plan when you start, so you can see how your straight teeth will look when your treatment is complete.
Introduced in 1999 by Align Technologies, Invisalign incorporates a series of invisible (clear) plastic aligners that fit comfortably over your teeth and are designed to move your teeth gradually into the desired position. Today, Invisalign is a leading brand of orthodontic appliance, primarily because the removable aligners (less than one millimeter thick) are designed to be more esthetically pleasing than conventional wire-and-bracket dental braces for treating certain types of minor misaligned tooth problems.
