Discreet & Removable
Eat normally and brush/floss easily.
Overview
Invisalign® uses clear aligners to move teeth gradually. We plan your case digitally from iTero scans and photos and may use attachments or slenderizing (IPR) to guide movements.
Candidacy depends on your bite, gum health, and goals. We’ll outline expected timelines and discuss refinements and retention so you know the full journey.
Invisalign & Orthodontics align teeth and improve the bite with clear aligners or braces. Treatment planning combines digital scans, photographs, and X‑rays to map tooth movement precisely and minimize unnecessary enamel reduction.
What we provide :
- Clear aligners for mild‑to‑moderate crowding, spacing, and certain bite discrepancies.
- Limited orthodontic treatment for esthetic alignment or pre‑restorative positioning.
- Interproximal reduction (IPR) & attachments used judiciously to support planned movement.
- Retention phase with fixed or removable retainers to protect your investment.
Orthodontic treatment not only enhances your smile but can also make cleaning easier and reduce uneven wear. We’ll discuss whether aligners, limited ortho, or referral for comprehensive orthodontics is the best path.
