Invisalign®

A Better Way to Straighten Teeth

Invisalign® is the invisible way to straighten your teeth without the use of conventional metal braces.

Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable custom-made aligners to move your teeth. It's a comfortable technology, because you avoid the mouth abrasions that can be caused by the metal and wires of conventional braces. It's also convenient, because you're likely to spend less time in our office getting adjustments.

Because you remove your Invisalign aligners before you eat or drink, you can enjoy your meals without worrying about getting food trapped in your teeth—and you're not limited as to the foods you can eat. You'll also be able to keep your teeth and gums healthier because you remove the aligners to floss and brush.

Dr. Pasut will use Invisalign's 3-D computer imaging technology to design your complete treatment plan, from the initial teeth positioning to the desired final positioning. This means you'll be able to preview the estimated final position of your teeth before you start treatment.

Using this imaging information, Dr. Pasut will create custom-made aligners to move your teeth incrementally. You'll wear each aligner for about 2 weeks, typically visiting our office once every 6 weeks for “progress reports.”

Improve the Health of Your Mouth

Smile healthy
It's easy to see that a straight, well-aligned smile looks great. But that kind of smile often means it's also a healthy smile. So put yourself in a healthy state of mind, and take a look at the many benefits of a properly aligned smile.

Healthier gums
Signs of periodontal disease, such as swollen gums and redness, can surface due to teeth that are crowded or too widely spaced. Clinical studies have shown that when teeth are properly aligned, it helps the gums fit tighter around the teeth, which can lead to better periodontal health.

  1. Since the Invisalign system's greatest advantage is its ability to align teeth, your gum health may improve after Invisalign treatment.
  2. And since you can brush and floss normally with Invisalign, unlike with traditional braces, you can more easily prevent tooth decay and related periodontal disease.

Easier cleanings
One of the Invisalign system's best qualities is that it uses no metal bands, brackets, or wires that may trap food and plaque like traditional braces do. And since the removable nature of Invisalign allows you to maintain good oral hygiene habits, you may also reduce chances of plaque buildup, tooth decay, and periodontal disease.

Improved chewing and speech
When you leave incorrectly positioned teeth and jaws untreated, it can lead to speech difficulties and uncomfortable chewing issues. Invisalign treatment can improve both of these problems by giving you better-aligned teeth and jaws.

Maintain comfort and tooth structure
Misaligned teeth and jaws can result in abnormal stress. This can cause painful trauma to supporting bone and jaw joints. These issues can also cause abnormal wear on your teeth, which can trigger continued problems in the future.
