Invisalign is the breakthrough technology that lets you have the smile you've always wanted without the hassle of traditional metal braces. By using a series of clear, removable aligners, Invisalign straightens your teeth with results you'll notice sooner than you think. The course of treatment involves bonding tooth colored attachments to some teeth (using filling material that will be removed when treatment ends),changing aligners approximately every two weeks, moving your teeth into straighter position step-by-step, until you have a more beautiful smile. And unlike traditional braces, these clear aligners can be removed while you eat and brush your teeth. An average Invisalign course of treatment takes about a year.

Invisalign corrects many orthodontic issues without the hassles of traditional braces. This means no unattractive metal wire, no uncomfortable glued-on brackets and no annoying rubber bands that can leave your mouth sore. Invisalign uses a series of clear and custom-fit removable aligners; we are able to straighten your teeth in no time. In most cases, Invisalign treatment takes about a year.

Because the aligners used in the Invisalign treatment process are removable, you can eat the foods you love to eat (steak, corn and bubble-gum don't mix well with traditional braces). Additionally, when you need to brush and floss, you don't have to buy special tooth brushes and flossers designed to fit between the wires and brackets of braces. The full course of treatment involves changing the Invisalign aligners approximately every two weeks, moving your teeth into straighter position step-by-step, until you have a more beautiful smile.

The total cost of Invisalign treatment is similar to that of traditional braces. Many dental insurance plans cover Invisalign treatment just as they would with regular metal braces. Every unique case has many different factors that can all affect total treatment cost so it's extremely difficult to put a price tag on custom treatment plans.

For many years when people wanted to straighten their teeth the best option was “traditional” metal braces bonded to their teeth using brackets, wires, and small rubber bands. This allowed dentist to close gaps, rotate and/or pull teeth down into alignment, and correct their biting position. When you hear someone say they are going to the dentist to have their "braces tightened" they usually are just getting a new arch wire or have the position of their rubber bands changed.

Traditional braces have been used for so long that they are a proven way to correct almost any misalignment of teeth. Although they are rare, there are some circumstances that require traditional braces because Invisalign will not work. Also, traditional braces cannot be removed by you, the patient, which means Dr. Elliott is confident at all times you are wearing them. Invisalign requires aligners to be worn and if you forget to put them in after eating or loose them, your course of treatment may be extended. Lastly, sometimes it's just cool to flash a silver smile!
