Invisalign
Invisalign and other transparent aligners straighten your teeth without wires and brackets, using a series of clear, customized, removable appliances. They are virtually undetectable, which means hardly anyone will know you’re straightening your teeth.These systems combine advanced 3-D computer graphics technology and space age laboratory services. The aligners are designed to move your teeth in small steps to the desired final position prescribed by Dr. Johnson. Each aligner is precisely calibrated and manufactured to fit your mouth at each stage of the treatment plan. Your first step is to visit our office to determine if aligners are right for you. After sending precise treatment instructions, a sequence of finely calibrated aligners are constructed. Each aligner is worn for about three weeks and only taken out to eat, brush, and floss. As you replace each aligner with the next, your teeth will begin to move gradually-- week-by-week until the final alignment prescribed is attained. It is important to know that invisible aligners are not intended for children and are not appropriate for every adult. Problems beyond mild crowding or spacing may require other orthodontic choices. Dr. Johnson can determine if this treatment is an effective option for you. If you want to learn more about Invisalign and how it works, please visit the Invisalign Homepage. |
