The Invisalign treatment consists of a series of clear, snap-on, custom fit, removable mouth trays that apply a controlled amount of force to your teeth, forcing them to shift. The system provides the same beautiful results as traditional braces, but since the trays are made of clear plastic, they are virtually invisible. In addition, because Invisalign trays are removable, they can be taken out while eating, drinking, brushing and flossing.

The Invisalign System includes creating a series of trays that will each move your teeth gradually until the end result is achieved. You wear a set of trays for two weeks. At the end of each two week period, you will switch trays. Throughout the process, you will visit your dentist or orthodontic specialist every six weeks to ensure treatment is progressing as planned. Once your treatment is complete, you will likely wear a clear retainer to ensure your new smile stays in place.

Ask Dr. Heinrichs at your next visit, if “Invisalign” is an option for you.
