What is Invisalign®?

Invisalign® is a brand of clear orthodontic aligners that can align and straighten teeth without the wires or brackets required by traditional orthodontics. Invisalign® is ideal for patients who want a straighter smile, but don’t want to obstruct their natural teeth with visible orthodontic work. It’s a popular option for teens or adults who want alignment issues resolved quickly: the average treatment time with Invisalign® is just 12 months.

How does it work?

Invisalign® works through a patented SmartTrack plastic, which sets it apart from other clear aligners on the market today. With over 20 years of research and over 5 million cases, you can be sure that Invisalign® ’s proven method will help you achieve the smile you want.

The Invisalign® method is:

• Gentle: SmartTrack moves teeth into their correct place with an effective but gentle force.
• Controlled: Intricate grooves allow more precision when guiding teeth through micro movements perfected through years of research.
• Comfortable: A snug, sure fit keeps the clear aligners from coming loose during daily wear.
• Fast: SmartTrack material speeds up treatment time for clear aligners — up to 50% faster with weekly aligner updates.

So what types of alignment issues could you fix in just 12 months? Find out below.

What alignment issues can Invisalign® treat?

Invisalign® clear aligners can fix up to seven different alignment issues that patients commonly face.

• Overbite: when the top teeth significantly overlap the bottom, hiding or obscuring much of their appearance.
• Underbite: when the bottom teeth overlap in front of the top teeth. Invisalign® can correct some types of underbites, but other instances might require more extensive orthodontic work or oral surgery.
• Gapped Teeth: when spacing issues separate two or more teeth.
• Crossbite: when the mouth is closed, if some top teeth rest behind some bottom teeth, while some remain in front, this is most often referred to as a crossbite. Invisalign® can correct some instances of crossbite.
• Open Bite: when the top and bottom teeth don’t meet together when the mouth is closed.
• Crowded Teeth: when the jaw is too small to fit all of a patient’s teeth and some teeth can overlap, twist, or get pushed behind other teeth.
• Crooked Teeth: when teeth have slight irregularities in alignment.
