Braces used to be the only way to straighten teeth affected by malocclusion (a bad bite). But now, we have a system called Invisalign\u00ae that allows us to straighten your teeth without using the brackets and wires of traditional braces.<\/p>\n
The patented Invisalign\u00ae system uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually reposition teeth. We’ve chosen to offer the Invisalign\u00ae system because the aligners are more visually appealing than braces. They’re also removable, which makes it easier to clean your teeth after eating. The aligners are smooth and comfortable, and they don’t irritate your gums, cheek, or tongue. The Invisalign\u00ae system also eliminates any allergic reactions that you may experience with metal.<\/p>\n
Invisalign\u00ae aligner – We first take impressions of your teeth, bite registrations, photographs, and x-rays. We send these materials, accompanied by a treatment plan, to the laboratory. The lab then creates the aligners-a set of precisely customized, clear molds. Each aligner is worn for about 2 weeks, and you’ll remove them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss.<\/p>\n
About every 2 weeks, you will replace the aligner with the next one in the series. Your teeth will move, a little at a time, until they are straightened to the desired position. About every 6 weeks, you’ll visit us so that we can ensure that your treatment is progressing appropriately. It typically takes 9 to 15 months to complete orthodontic treatment with Invisalign\u00ae, during which time 18 to 30 aligners are used. The time it takes to complete treatment will vary according to your specific circumstances.<\/p>\n
After a thorough exam and a review of your health history and lifestyle, we’ll be able to determine if Invisalign\u00ae is right for you.<\/p>\n

Teeth that are not aligned properly in your mouth create what we call \u201cmalocclusion.\u201d\u00a0 If left untreated, malocclusion can lead to periodontal disease and create abnormal amounts of stress on teeth and jaw, which leads to premature wear.<\/p>\n
Malocclusion affects 74% of American adults.\u00a0 If you have malocclusion, it may affect your periodontal health, because it is difficult to remove plaque when teeth are not aligned.\u00a0 Periodontal disease can begin as gum redness or bleeding while brushing your teeth or using dental floss, and you may notice halitosis, or bad breath.\u00a0 If not treated gum inflammation can become worse, leading to soft tissue damage, receding gums, the formation of pockets between teeth and gums, bone loss, and eventually tooth loss.<\/p>\n
Straight Teeth are Healthier Teeth
<\/b><\/p>\n
Straight, properly aligned teeth can help you avoid the negative effects of periodontal disease.<\/p>\n
Healthier Gums<\/b><\/p>\n
Properly aligned teeth are easier to brush and floss than crowded or crooked teeth.\u00a0 Properly positioned teeth can help gums \u201cfit\u201d more tightly around them, which may lead to better periodontal health.<\/p>\n
Improved Hygiene<\/b><\/p>\n
With good hygiene, the chances of having plaque retention, tooth decay, and periodontal disease can be reduced.<\/p>\n
Decreased Risk of Abnormal Wear and Trauma<\/b><\/p>\n
Properly aligned teeth also reduce the risk of expensive procedures require to repair the effects of abnormal force, such as tooth chipping, breaking, or wear; and can be less stressful on the supporting jaw bone and joints.<\/p>\n

How Does Invisalign\u00ae Work?<\/h2>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.7″]<\/p>\n
The patient meets with Dr. Hansen who takes orthodontic records of your teeth and fills out an Invisalign\u00ae treatment plan or prescription form and sends to Align Technology.\u00a0 At Align, a computer model of your teeth is created from the records.\u00a0 Align then uses its advanced, 3-D imaging software to generate a graphical representation of the treatment plan- almost like an animated movie of the way the patients teeth will move from the current position to the final desired position.\u00a0 Dr. Hansen reviews, modifies, and approves the rendering of his treatment plan (the 3-D movie) on a secure portion of Align\u2019s website.\u00a0 Align Technology produced a series of clear, plastic aligners that correspond to the stages of tooth movement in the 3-D movie.\u00a0 You wear each stage of aligners for approximately two weeks before switching to the next set in the series.\u00a0 Week by week, your teeth are straightened millimeter by millimeter.<\/p>\n
