What is Invisalign?

Simply, another great way to improve your smile!

Invisalign is a groundbreaking alternative way to straighten your teeth without braces. Invisalign uses a series of removable aligners that are virtually invisible, so you don’t have to worry about your appearance. You can take them out for daily necessities like eating, brushing and flossing.

At Smilebuilderz of Lancaster, PA we have been thoroughly convinced of the effectiveness of the Invisalign orthodontic technique as a proven technology designed to give you the smile you've always wanted, without the pain and anxiety associated with metal braces.

Invisible. Comfortable. And Removable

To help you get a more beautiful smile, Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually move your teeth. You wear a set of aligners for about two weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush and floss. As you replace each set of aligners with the next in the series, your teeth will gradually move until they reach the position your orthodontist has prescribed for you. The average treatment time is about a year.

Can it work for you?

The majority of adults and teens can be treated with Invisalign. Case studies represent a wide variety of conditions including crowding and space closure.

Using Invisalign allows you to view your own virtual treatment plan when you start, so you can see how your straight teeth will look when you treatment is complete. You may reduce the risk of cavities and gum disease during this type of treatment rather than wire braces which, if not properly maintained, can cause cavities to form. Invisalign is much more comfortable because there is no metal to cause mouth abrasions. Also, it is not necessary to spend as much time in the orthodontist’s chair because you do not have to have wires adjusted and tightened.

If you have any possible orthodontic conditions that may require a correction using braces, you owe it to yourself to check out this wonderful treatment option with our orthodontist.
