Invisalign's clear aligners are designed to straighten teeth by applying gentle, consistent pressure to the teeth over time.
The treatment begins with your orthodontist using the iTeroTM scanner to take a digital impression of your oral cavity.
The digital impression is then used by your doctor to plan out the precise movements of your teeth. Each aligner plays a critical role in the in the series by gently shifting your teeth more and more until the desired results are achieved.
Invisalign Benefits for Adults
Standard Invisalign is a popular choice among adults in Seattle and Bellevue. This orthodontic option features:
Smooth, Removable Aligners
The smooth, lightweight construction of Invisalign aligners means they tend to cause less friction in the mouth than metal braces. Plus, since they're removable, you have to take them out to eat, brush, and floss, leaving these daily routines unaffected by treatment.
Low-Profile Esthetic
Invisalign's discreet look is probably one of its biggest assets. In fact, many patients choose to undergo orthodontic treatment they may have been putting off because Invisalign has resolved their esthetic problems.
Fewer Visits to the Orthodontist
Unlike metal braces, Invisalign aligners don't need to be adjusted. This means you'll spend less time in our office than you would with braces, typically just a quick checkup every 12 weeks or so to ensure everything is on track.
