Invisalign: Invisible braces

Straighten your teeth... without metal braces!

Worried about having to wear traditional metal braces? Invisalign is the clear way to go. Invisalign uses a series of transparent, removable aligners to gradually straighten teeth without metal or wires. Additionally, many people find these type of "braces" more convenient as they are also removable. Assure a Smile has applied Invisalign successfully to thousands of patients throughout South Florida and the reviews have been extremely positive.

How do Invisalign invisible braces work?


Assure a Smile's dentistry uses Invisalign 3-D computer imaging technology to depict the complete treatment plan from the initial position to the final desired position. From there, a series of custom-made, clear "aligners" are produced. Each "aligner" moves teeth incrementally and is worn for about two weeks, which is then replaced by the next in the series until the final position is achieved.




What are the primary benefits of Invisalign invisible braces?



With Invisalign, the braces that you are wearing are almost 100% invisible. You can straighten your teeth without anyone knowing. In addition, Invisalign are removable, which is another convenience that most people find very attractive. Unlike braces, you are more free to eat and drink what you desire during your treatment. Additionally, you can also brush and floss normally to maintain good oral hygiene.
 Invisalign braces are also generally more comfortable to wear than traditional metal braces. There are no metal brackets or wires that may cause mouth irritation. Even better, without the metal and wires, you'll spend considerably less time in the doctor's chair getting adjustments. Invisalign is on the cutting edge non-invasive treatment and many have found it to be a better alternative to the traditional metal brackets. These invisible braces allow you to view your own virtual treatment plan before you start, so you can see how your improved teeth will look like after you have finished treatment.


How do Invisalign, invisible braces effectively move teeth?


Invisalign aligners move teeth through the appropriate placement of controlled force on the teeth, just as traditional metal braces utilize mounted brackets and wires to do the same. The principal difference is that Invisalign not only controls the forces, but also controls the timing of the force application. This results in an efficient force delivery system.
