Invisalign

What is Invisalign®?

Invisalign® is clear.You can straighten your teeth without anyone knowing.

Invisalign® is removable. Unlike braces, you can eat and drink what you want during treatment. You can also brush and floss normally to maintain good oral hygiene.

Invisalign® is comfortable. There are no metal brackets or wires as with braces to cause mouth irritation, and no metal or wires means you spend less time in the doctor’s chair getting adjustments.

The Invisalign® process has been proven effective in clinical research and in orthdontic practices nationwide. However, only certified dentists like Dr. Taat can undertake this procedure.

How Does Invisalign® Work?

A set of aligners are worn for about 2 weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss.

As you replace each aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will move - little by little, week by week - until they have straightened to the final position the dentist has prescribed.

You will visit Dr. Taat approximately once every 6 weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned.

Total treatment time averages 11 months with the average number of aligners worn during treatment between 18 and 30. This of course will vary from case to case.

The aligners are made through a combination of Dr. Taat’s expertise and 3-D computer imaging technology provided by the Invisalign® company.
