Invisalign Orthodontics

Invisalign is the brand name of a customized orthodontics system designed to straighten teeth and/or correct an imperfect bite.

It consists of sets of clear plastic trays that the patient wears for at least 20-22 hours per day.  The trays are worn for 2 weeks at a time with the total number of trays dependent on the patient’s treatment plan.

Using an Invisalign Treatment over traditional orthodontic braces has a number of advantages :

• The trays themselves are clear so they are not visible to others.
  
• The trays can be removed to allow the patient to eat and drink normally as well as to brush and floss. 
  
• They are also much more comfortable than wires and brackets.
  
• The fees are very similar to those for braces.

What to Expect At An Invisalign Appointment

At the first appointment , impressions of the patient’s teeth will be taken. Dr. Casey will then determine the best treatment to achieve the result that the patient desires.

Once the treatment plan phase has been completed, the patient will return to the clinic to view  the projected 3D results of the plan.

The patient will then return to the clinic once the custom trays have been made to have the first set fitted. Thereafter, the patient will return to the clinic every few weeks to have the next set of trays fitted.
