Invisible Braces - Invisalign®
 Very few people have straight teeth. For years metal braces were the only option for straightening them, far too unsightly for adults. Not any more! Now, there is Invisalign®, the easy, invisible way to straighten teeth, for both adults and teens.
Invisalign uses a series of nearly undetectable aligners instead of brackets and wires. So it's really difficult to tell you're wearing them, even up close. Invisalign can give you the smile you've always wanted without the braces you've always avoided.
Invisalign "braces" are comfortable because there are no metal wires and brackets. Because they are removable, you may continue to enjoy your favorite foods and brush and floss as you do now.
How Invisalign Works
Impressions made of your teeth are submitted to Invisalign. Using the latest advances in 3-D computer technology, Invisalign carefully translates the prescription into a series of precisely customized aligners. You then wear each set of aligners for about two weeks. Each set moves your teeth gradually, week by week, millimeter by millimeter, until your teeth are beautifully aligned.
Dr. Terry will be glad to explain why these aligners are better for the health of your teeth than the metal braces. For your teens as well as yourself, you'll be glad to know that there are:
- Fewer trips for adjustment than for metal braces, and that
- Invisalign is covered by most orthodontic insurance.
