Invisalign Clear Teeth Straightening
Go Wireless!Invisalign is the "invisible" way to straighten your teeth without wearing conventional metal braces.
Benefits of Invisalign:INVISIBLE: Others will not even been able to tell your are wearing them. EAT NORMALLY: remove your aligners before you eat and drink BETTER ORAL HYGEINE:remove to floss and brush. REMOVEABLE: you can leave them off if you have a special date or event to attend. MORE COMFORTABLE: no mouth abrasions like those caused by the metal and wires braces. MORE CONVENIENT: spend less time in the doctor's office getting adjustments.
How does Invisalign work?Invisalign uses 3-D computer imaging which allows you to preview the final positioning of your teeth before you start treatment. A set of clear removeable aligners will be custom-made for you. Each set of aligners will move your teeth about 0.25 millimeters per aligner. You wear each set of aligners 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 average number of aligners worn during treatment is between 18 and 30.
Total treatment time averages 9-15 months - you will visit Dr. Goff about once every 6 weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned.
Are you a candidate for Invisalign?INVISALIGN works best if you already have a good bite, small rotation, small gap or a minor problem. They will not work with biting or crowding problems and are not meant to be used with children. ![]() Call Dr. Goff for a
