What you can expect from expert orthodontic treatment depends on what kind of treatment is needed. At your first appointment, pictures and X-rays of your oral condition are taken, along with impressions of your teeth so a model of your bite can be made. This information is used to develop a treatment plan which could involve traditional braces with or without elastics (rubber bands). A specialized appliance may also be recommended for a period of time. 

Invisalign is a clear alternative to traditional metal braces to straighten teeth. Using a series of comfortable and removable clear aligners custom made for you, Invisalign braces gradually straighten your teeth with much less visibility than traditional braces. 

Each aligner is worn day and night for about 2 weeks for a wide variety of conditions including crowding, spaces/gaps, crossbites, overbites and underbites. Unlike traditional metal braces, they’re easy to remove for eating, brushing and flossing. 

Virtually invisible, most people won’t even know you’re going through treatment when wearing Invisalign. They’re comfortable and allow for easy cleaning.  Simply take them out and clean your teeth as usual. No maneuvering around metal brackets and wires.
