What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is one brand of clear aligner used for selected orthodontic treatment. Clear aligners are removable appliances that apply controlled forces to move teeth over time.
They are not suitable for every orthodontic problem. Treatment may require attachments, tooth reduction, elastics, refinements or other appliances. Effectiveness depends partly on wearing the aligners as directed. Treatment duration and outcome vary.
Why choose Invisalign and not other clear aligners?
DESIGNED FOR SUCCESS FROM START TO FINISH
Patented products, like SmartTrack material and SmartForce attachments are designed optimally to deliver the desired force systems to move teeth more predictably.
What are SmartForce attachments?
SmartForce attachments are small tooth-colored shapes that are attached to your teeth before or during your Invisalign braces treatment. They’re like handles, giving aligners something to gently push on. Invisalign clear aligners fit smoothly and tightly around them, so they’re barely noticeable. Not everyone who uses Invisalign clear aligners will need SmartForce attachments.
Customized treatment based on years of research and intelligence from millions of patients.
Invisalign is able to correct a wide range of teeth alignment problems including overcrowding, overjet, underbite, crossbite, open bite and spacing.
Overcrowding
Overcrowding is when there is insufficient room in your jaw for your teeth to fit normally. Your teeth can bunch up, overlap, twist, or get pushed to the front or back.
Overjet
An excessive overjet, also known as buck teeth, is when your upper front teeth extend too far horizontally over your lower front teeth.This is not to be confused with an overbite which is a vertical overlap of the lower teeth by the upper.
Underbite
An underbite is when your lower teeth and jaw protrude in front of the upper teeth. Severe cases may cause difficulty chewing food or challenges when speaking.
Crossbite
A crossbite is when some of your upper teeth sit behind your lower teeth. This may lead to abnormal tooth wear and chipping.
Open Bite
An open bite is when your upper and lower teeth do not touch when your mouth is closed. This may affect your appearance and cause speech problems like having a lisp.
Spacing
Spacing is when there is a gap between two or more of your teeth. It may cause speech problems and food can get stuck easily.
