Do you want a straighter smile, but don't like the thought of metal braces?

Invisalign uses removable clear plastic aligners to straighten your teeth discreetly, comfortably, and conveniently.

This page contains some basic information about Invisalign clear plastic aligners, but the best way to learn about them and whether they are right for you is to talk to one of our expert doctors. Contact us today to schedule your appointment at Pinnacle Dental Aesthetics.

What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign is an alternative to traditional metal braces. Instead of metal bands, brackets, and wires that are connected to your teeth, it uses a series of clear plastic aligners to gently move your teeth. These aligners are designed by a computer to move your teeth in a precise sequence that takes your teeth from their current position to a straighter arrangement.  Each aligner will be worn for a few weeks, and then switch to the next one. Once you have gone through the full sequence your teeth will be straight.

Advantages of Invisalign

Invisalign has become very popular (it recently celebrated its one millionth successful case) because of its numerous advantages. Many people are happy with Invisalign because it is:

• Less visible than traditional braces
• More comfortable than traditional braces
• Removable for eating, brushing, and flossing

For subtle, convenient, comfortable treatment, Invisalign is a great option for many people.

Is Invisalign for You?

Invisalign is not for every type of orthodontic case, but many people can get great results using it. During your exam, we can look at your teeth and determine if Invisalign is a good treatment option for you. And if it is, we can take the necessary impressions to get your customized trays made and start you on your way to a straighter smile.
