Invisalign® is an exciting new way to straighten your teeth without the metal brackets and braces frequently used in the past. Straightening teeth, relieving crowding, and filling tooth gaps used to require a difficult process of cementing brackets to the teeth and monthly tightening procedures — not to mention missing out on some of your favorite foods. Now, with the help of this series of virtually invisible trays (called aligners), your teeth will grow straighter over a period of about a year, without ever having to be placed in braces. Whether you have extensive work to be done on your teeth, or just minor adjustments to make, Invisalign® can improve your smile. If you need serious orthodontal work, Dr. Ann Haggard will work with a local orthodontist to ensure you get the proper care for your teeth.

How does Invisalign® work?

After discussing your treatment plan with you, Dr. Ann Haggard will use the most accurate materials to take impressions of your teeth, which we will then send off to the Align Technology Lab. At Align Technology, they will create a three-dimensional image of your teeth, and use advanced computer software to show the movements needed to make teeth straight. Finally, they will create a series of clear plastic aligners designed specifically for your dental needs. You will receive a new aligner about every two weeks until the end of your treatment, which generally lasts about a year. You’ll visit Dr. Ann Haggard about every six weeks to ensure your treatment is progressing as planned.

What are the benefits of Invisalign®?

Invisalign® is revolutionary in that it provides a discreet alternative for people who want a dramatic improvement in their smile without the pain or general annoyance of braces. Because Invisalign® trays are removable, they can also be taken out to eat and drink, as well as to brush and floss. With Invisalign®, there will be no major changes to your lifestyle. Invisalign® patients also should not be concerned about the foods they eat, since their aligners can be removed to indulge in any kind of food.

Am I an Invisalign® candidate?

Almost anyone can use the Invisalign® method of treatment. Whether your teeth are spaced too far apart, or tend to crowd each other out, Invisalign® can help. Even more complex orthodontic issues such as an overbite, underbite, or crossbite can be resolved using the Invisalign® system. If you need braces, you can opt for Invisalign® and get the smile you deserve without hiding your teeth in the process. If Dr. Ann Haggard decides you may not be a proper candidate for Invisalign®, we will do combination work with a local orthodontist to get you the straight, beautiful teeth you deserve.
