Invisalign and Teen Invisalign

If you have been looking for a way to straighten your teeth without the inconvenience and discomfort of traditional braces- Invisalign orthodontics might just be the answer for you.  Nearly invisible, Invisalign aligners are easily removable, comfortable and allow you to keep a bright, wide-open smile all through the straightening process.

Teens and adults are opting for the Invisalign system of clear aligners which are effective in correcting a myriad of dental issues including underbites, overbites, over-crowded teeth and cross-bites.  The Invisalign system can efficiently improve tooth alignment while having minimum impact on your day-to-day life because the clear aligners are: 
 
  • Virtually invisible
    • Gentler and more comfortable on your gums and cheeks than braces- and no poking or broken wires
    • Easily removed for eating- you can continue to eat crunchy and sticky foods such as popcorn and pizza
    • Removable for cleaning your teeth- easier to floss, brush and maintain top dental hygiene
    • Easier to adjust- you'll spend less time in the orthodontist office

    The risk of cutting or injuring the inside of your mouth is less likely with Invisalign which is especially beneficial for the sport-oriented teenager or adult. 


     
    The Invisalign Process

    Each step in the progress of your treatment plan is mapped out with sophisticated 3D computer modeling.  Dr. Cruz sets up your customized Invisalign plan from the initial position of your teeth to the final results. 


    Once the schedule and design for your treatment are completed by Dr. Cruz, exact instructions are sent to Invisalign for the construction of your customized, clear sequence of aligners. 


    The number of aligners required by each patient vary, depending upon each patient's individual needs.  You may need as few as 12 aligners or as many as 48 in a treatment program.  

    Once you receive your customized aligners, you wear one set for about two weeks at a time as you progress through the program. Your social life and sport life continue as normal as your teeth gradually move into optimal, final alignment.
